My Transcript.

Had my interview today.
I got to the embassy around 5:40am, I met just one person on the queue.

Mr. Paulinus arrived around 6:30 am, and by 7am, they called the first four student visa applicants to come forward.

We were asked to switch off our phones and he gave the four of us 3 chairs each to arrange our documents in the order he was going to call it out.

Immediately he started, he noticed the first guy wasn't really fast, he just started shouting at the guy, telling him that it's like he doesn't want to do his interview today.

From the info i got here, I already knew what to expect and I arranged by documents properly before going to the embassy.

Mr. Paulinus really frustrated the other guys that came out with me. He even threatened to send them out. Me I was just focused, before he even finish mentioning the next document I have already brought it out. He was now telling the other guys why can't they be as organised as me. Honestly, that man puts too much pressure on people, the time he uses to shout can be used to tell them what he needs them to do. You just hv to be very organised and fast to avoid his wahala.

He left the other guys and asked me to go in for the next stage.

I went in, sat for about 20 minutes then one guy and another lady that came for family reunion joined me. after like five minutes, they took the 3 of us to another building inside the compound for out interview.

We waited for some minutes then they asked us to go inside 3 diffent rooms for the interview.

Me: Good morning.
VO: Good morning.
VO: Have you traveled before?
Me: Yes
VO: Have you funded?
Me: No. she gave me a form to sign and asked me to make sure I fund as soon as possible.
VO: What course?
Me: Told her
Vo: What school?
Me: Told her.

She now went on to complete my biometric.

VO: Lets begin the Interview now.
Me: Ok Ma
VO: Why this course? I was about dealing with the question when the VO told me that I should just give her a very brief answer, so I shortened my answer.

Vo: Why Germany?
Me: Told Her. she asked me to keep my answers short again.

Vo: Why not UK, US or Canada?
Me: Told her, had to give her a direct and short answer cuz that's what she said she wants.

VO: What do you know about Germany? please just the key points only.
Me, I mentioned while she types.
VO: Have you been to Germany or Any European countries before?
Me: Germany, No, Another European country yes, I mentioned the country.
Vo: What your plans after your studies?
Me: Told her.

Vo: What's your Bsc. thesis?
Me: Told her.

Vo: That will be all, my office will contact you via male, have a nice day.
Me: Enjoy the rest of your day.

My personal observation:
I spent about 50 minutes with her. most of the time was used by her for typing in my answers.

It seems they have a lot of applications to attend to, hence why she told me from the get go to make my answers very short.

If you answer your questions confidently, they will most likely not give you a test even if they have time for it.

Be calm, the Interview is actually easy to pass through.

please share with us how we should arrange our document in ascending order,the document that should be placed first and the one that should be last, and the documents that should be in the middle

The course you applied in FAU,was english launguage test like IELTS or TOEFL compulsory?

Lalaski2017:
No, they did not contact me about any aptitude test.
DID THEY CONTACT YOU FOR IT?

I don't think they will be having any aptitude test even though they mentioned it as part of their admission process.

They just sent me a mail saying that they have received my application, that my documents are complete and that they will get back to all applicants before the end of January.

What's your first degree, did you offer Chemistry in your first degree?
They said we must show prove of chemistry studies, and I didn't offer Chemistry in my first degree that's why I am kinda worried about the admission even though i have a very good first degree

Is english test like IELTS or Toefl compulsory for FAU?

dailydolar:
all my people wey apply for FAU,BOCHUM and DARMSTADT any news ?

I offered few chemistry courses in my first degree. I actually studied environmental technology in my first degree,but i didnt see where they said we must show proof of chemistry in the application

Hello people,

Mehn, I must admit I am already beginning to panic about my chances for this summer semester.

People are already getting their AM's and I have not even gotten admission letter. I really wonder why some schools delay their admission process.

I have only two schools left that I am hoping will admit me, and I am not even too confident about it. The first one is University of Bayreuth. In this case, they said chemistry is a must in my first degree and chemistry was not part of the courses I offered in my first degree. Even though I wrote a strong motivation letter where I even stated that I wouldn't mind doing a self study to level up my chemistry knowledge, I am still not too confident about the admission because the course is highly competitive.

The second and last option is FAU. I am 100% confident of landing this admission, but I am in a very worrying situation at the moment because of NIPOST. I sent my documents to the school since 12th of December 2017 and till today no confirmation yet that they have received my documents and my application status on their portal has not changed.

Please, has anyone here gotten or still expecting to get admission from FAU or Bayreuth for summer semester?

I am really worried right now.

I applied for the same course and the same school. Lets chat.pm me.

[quote author=ozyomar1 post=61698269][/quote]i applied to the same course. Can we chat. Pm me

trojrobert:
Hi guys,
I am getting tired of this Fintiba website, I just did the video identification , how long will it take to get a blocked account and can I send a mail for appointment without a block account?
All I have now is just admission letter

You can not book apiontment without the block account details. Just be patient Fintiba will send your account details to you once they verify your video,mine was verified within 24 hours. As per your admission,did you defer admission or you just applied for this summer admission?

Hello Chichi, I have just applied for international management in a university in Germany. It is a 3 semester programme. They do not require statistics nor GMAT
.Since English launguage was your official launguage of instruction, They can waive IELTS for you if only you can provide them with a letter from your school.
NYSC isnt a prerequisite for the school,but i do not know of embassy.
Your statement of result is okay,hence do not bother about certificate.All you need is your transcript,so arrange for someone to apply for your transcript for you in Nigeria.
You will have to collect it and certify it along with other documents before sending the hard copy to them.
Wherever your funds reside does not matter,what matters is your ability to fund an account with FINTIBA with the required blocked amount which is about €8700 approximately.
PM me lets talk.

Chichi12345:
Dear all,

I have been following this thread but obviously I need help. I am interested in studying in Germany or Norway. MBA, International management, Business administration, Marketing and management. I have done a bit of research on Daad and to be frank it seems like most of the university require some knowledge of German language, and for the Norway schools GMAT requirement.

I graduated with a second class upper division (3.80) in 2015. Office Management (Business Administration).I registered to take IELTS this December.

I didn't receive any certificate from my University yet except a Statement of result. But I can apply for a transcript which will be sent to the prospective university.

Foul is I Live and work in Dubai. And my job is good. If I need to pursue this Masters it means leaving my job and maybe going home to do all the certifications and applications for transcript etc. Mind you I skipped NYSC.( is this a requirement as well)?

Some school specify that your former course of study should have Statistics which I didn't do. will this mar my chance of been accepted?

Please I need advise as to what to do.

Another issue is I have my Bank account in UAE and never transferred money back home to my local account (Zenith bank refused to send me alert so I didn't know if my money hit my account whenever I transfer. What I am trying to say is this. I have all the funds required to apply for student visa in my UAE account.

I understand I can start my application from here. I need help with schools which do not need all these certifications or school which is more happy to take students with good degree.

Your kind response will be appreciated.

Thanks

Good morning House,Pls how can i fund my fintiba account using Form A? Pls experience gurus,I need your advice

I am quite surprised. I am of the opinion that you should mail them first week of January. Its quite funny that the year has been booked out already.Did you defer your admission from winter to summer or you applied for summer program recently,i am asking this as per getting admission letter so fast.

Arigold007:
congratulations to all those that have received their visas thus far, pls go ahead succeed and represent us well. pls has anyone received appointment for interview next year, I really need to know when to book for appointment. I mailed about 3 weeks back and they said they are booked for the year

Congrats Madam... Go and succeed. The waiting period was indeed long. May be its because your enrolment period is ending in the last week of october,Just thinking aloud.Congrats once again.

There is nothing like German launguage requirement. I have applied for the course. Pm me. It is really a nice course. What did you study in school.I know of other courses that you can apply.

Johnnyessence:
thanks for your reply here. Well I have checked it often and often. But in their requirement they require German certificate in their language of instruction. And I don't have that. I only have IELTS result certificate.

I have observed that people do not respond to enquiries again. I asked a guy who have been expecting his AM for the past eight weeks,but the guy has not responded.
Is ok.

[@Victolo,any responce from embassy because it is strange. Atleast others could learn.I am of the opinion that they are yet to contact you guys because of the fact that your enrollment dateline is still far.

eddiemei:
@ victolo, any response from the embassy as am still waiting for their response .

@Donkafor, Can someone change to another school in another state after getting Visa?.

donkafor:
@chidi4eze,

Sorry about that. At first, why BSc when you already have one? Is it in same field?

You didn't convince the VO why you need another BSc. You should have explained that in your motivation letter and also when asked why this program?

The mistake is already done.

My advice is apply for any MSc, get admission, get your visa and you can change school on arrival.

Dankeschön

Is it possible to change to a school in another state after arrival?
