Please if I have dropped out from uni but have my transcript, can I use that and my Waec as a means to apply for bsc in Germany?

Compliant:


True talk but the mistake I made was buying 2 200amh dry cell battery should have gone for 2 200amh lithium battery as a friend said it's more powerful and easy to maintain or so

Was also told dry cell battery life span is around 2-3 years while lithium battery is around 5years but I dont know how true it is

Lithium batteries are expensive.

MBA management

VO: Goodmorning
Me: Goodmorning. Happy new year.
VO: Thanks
VO: What did you study for your undergrad?
Me: Biotechnology and I graduated with a second class upper honors.
VO: What do you currently do?
Me: I currently work as the managing director at (mentioned it). It's a family company and a business that deals with importation and wholesaling of different collectibles such as designer wears from turkey, provisions, cosmetics and furnitures. We operate in 3 branches across Nigeria. My duties entails overseeing all activities that goes on in the business. I identify and direct the implementation of business strategy such as branding, marketing and customer feedbacks making sure they are effective and efficient. I also manage the relationship and links we have created with other associates such as the suppliers, distributors, retailers and wholesalers for continuous return and profit in the business. I'm charge of leading, motivating and guiding the sales representatives and mangers across all branches. One of the essence of this MBA is to to acquire more theoretical business and leadership skills, knowledge and techniques to level up my performance at the business to drive us more growth, visibility and profitability. MBA will provide me with the guidance into leading and directing the business goals.
VO: Have you travelled out of Nigeria ?
Me: Yes, United State of America for vacation in 2017 and exchange visitors program in 2018 & 2019.
VO: Any other country aside USA?
Me: Yes, Benin Republic
VO: Typed for a long time.......
VO: How do you intend to pay for your school?
Me: My mother will be sponsoring me, she has demonstrated she is financially capable to fund my education to the university before I was issued the I-20. She works as a procurement manager at .... oil&gas and her duties entails ... (I listed them) in additional to that, she's is also the general financial manager at the procurement department. My mom is also the CEO and founder of ....(called the company name)., where I currently work as the MD. Like I stated initially the business deals with the importation and wholesaling of designer wears from turkey & UK, provisions, cosmetics and other home items such as furnitures. She operates in 3 branches which are on the mainland(ojo) and island(balogun market) here in Lagos and also a branch in wuse market Abuja. She owns a supermarket, cosmetics store and 4 double store boutique across all branches. Combining both she makes 140million annually.
VO: Gave a long glance at my I-20
VO: sorry we won't be approving you today

On my I-20 the school stated I am required to come for orientation by 7th.
Since visa processing would take more than that, I believe that's what gave me this refusal. They probably concluded I won't meet up as the school required.

Kindly give in your feedbacks. Thanks

Sorry, sometimes it happens, reprepare and give it a try again.

First possible error, you're switching from Biotechnology to Management, the two courses don't really match, your current work field is off what you studied, also I don't think you gave her reason as to why you decided to switch. Another is, I don't think you should bother yourself with telling her what you graduated with, since she didn't directly ask for that.

Second possible error, the finialcial part I feel the answer is a bit vaporized, you should have included some possible figures and expand your reply.

I might be wrong sha, but if I ever get rejected, I will ask the VO why I was rejected before leaving.

TWoods:


You obviously have the exact issue you accuse me of. The bold is EXACTLY my point. You’re asking someone to recommend schools for you so you can busy yourself reading interview transcripts? Tell me you’re intellectually lazy without being anymore explicit. The time taken to type the ridiculous treatises could have been better spent looking up schools for yourself. Google is free bro.

I don't have the same issue with you, I've repeatedly told you what I want. Me reading transcript doesn't stop me from doing other things. You decided in your imagination to create a silly situation, assume that's the reality and make a cheap statement, simply because you lack the ability to understand the comment I made.
Go back to my first comment, take a chilled fanta, read what I wrote there word after word with no rush.

TWoods:



This is all over the place and you don’t seem to have a clue. I’m glad you said that success requires you to learn from those who have done this before… well here we are, and you seem to be treating our advice as a waste of your time.

To say the interview process is the hardest betrays your ignorance. You have no major picked out, are here begging someone else to give you a list of schools, have no idea the requirements for funding … and interview transcripts are what you want to read? My take is you are quite lazy. You want someone else to suggest a school and major for you, help you figure out funding, while you do only what engages you. Good luck bro

This is an example of the comprehension issue I said you have. You read to reply me, not to understand. Read through all my comments here, I've answered all the points you're bringing up. You think I'm lazy because you don't really understand what the word lazy literally mean.

I've been clear from beginning about what I want, I stated my history, my current hurdle and politely requested for help. The question was about getting some recommended schools I'll apply to, did you ever read where I said someone should help me out with registration and funding, if that was what I wanted, I could have easily applied via an agent, read to understand, don't assume things.

Vinnie2000:
Okowa, my State Governor DEFINITELY DID!

He called for a Meeting at Asaba for the South to be Given the Presidency after Buhari's 8 year Rule.

He termed it 'Asaba Declaration'.

Only for him to Secretly Backstabb the Others to become Atiku's running mate.


If he is a Competent Ruler, would have been Better!
Okowa is a Monster Thief and a Big Time Failure! Go to Delta State and u will see Keke Everywhere as his only 'achievement'.
Stole and Borrowed Billions in his Almost 8 misrule and wants to use the Stashed Funds to install his Thiefing Partner, Sheriff Oborevwori as Governor!

Only a FOOL will votecPDP or APC in this year election!

Was there an agreement for Okowa not to be a vice president Abi did he compete against Wike for the presidential ticket? Why una dey yarn anyhow?

BigIyanga:

Since you have got it figured out, getting accepted by US unis is a cinch!! Keep us posted. I’d love to read your interview transcript. Good luck

Not really figured out, nothing is 100% factual, the koko is I'm not scared of being rejected, If I get rejected I'll go the Europe way.

TWoods:


You’re starting from the wrong point. Transcripts are not very reliable as you will be interviewed based on your unique set of circumstances. In this case, you’re 31 applying for a bachelors degree. Do you have a consistent record of employment? In what field? How is it related to your proposed major of study? Why now and how does the new degree help you after you are done?

What you should be focused on first is figuring out what major/school/financial support. Once you have all that squared away, you now have the time to sit down and think through potential interview scenarios.

What I'm focused on right now is getting admission, funding is looking good at the moment, I noticed some schools usually make scholarships available for students with good gp, that can also help during the 2md year up, as for school, that prompted my first enquiry on this thread.

Why I'm reading transcripts, I've come to realize that for you to be successful at something difficult, study the pattern of people that have gone through that process with a success and also those that failed it, that would give you a guidance to minimize your chances of failure. Studying like we know, takes time. I hate going for an interview without adequately preparing for it. I'm familiarizing myself with the VO likely tough questions since it looks like the interview process is the hardest.

BigIyanga:

You have to clearly show a consistent work history and pattern. Moving from job to job or from marketing to sales-construction to IT..may hurt your chances. Founding a company now is good, but is it going to cover your gap years? I doubt it
Getting admission is the easiest thing to do if you’re self funding it.
Per interview, bear in mind that this is not a Nsija exam format and rule.. if you’re given 10 questions , you can fail 3 and still get an A… while in Visa interview, if you’re asked 10 questions, you get 9 correct and fail one, you can still be denied.

Well, lucky enough I used my gap years pretty well to acquire practical knowledge in what I want to study now, I believe you can fail 5 questions out of that 10 and still get approved, it depends on the quality of your answers to the VO questions.

BigIyanga:

Not entirely accurate about VO’s rejection and approval. You have to prove to VO beyond reasonable doubt that your chosen course is going to be fully funded… and also it would beneficiary impact Naija. You have to clearly articulate your passion and knowledge of your chosen course in a way to convince VO.
Your weakest link is why becoming a US-trained Engineer now? Why didnt you pursue it in Naija or Uk?
Or do you have a successful company that you have built for all the time you weren't in school?
Or do you have a verifiable and reputable companies that you have worked for since you left or dropped out of school? Is your I-20 funded by a relative or an employer?

Little wonder. Thing is I dabbled into many activities during that gap, I wasn't idle through out. Also, I'll be registering my company this month. I don't know if that can serve as an option, my initial plan was to come back and set up a technology hub for youngsters. I'm not really interested in staying in the US for long, maybe just have it as a second nationality then run back to Naija. I've been studying people's transcripts and making points for possible questions and possible answers. The hurdle right now is gaining admission, i would have gone with the UK option but let me face the US first and see, I don't know why I'm not scared of the interview stage, maybe it's false confidence but I feel this strong positive energy that it won't be an issue

BigIyanga:

Lol. Naija lecturers are not really going to stop you if u would want to continue ur studies and get a higher GPA.
The strength of your application is going to be measured by your Naija academic qualification; which in your case… is scanty or not enough. Age is also not on your side to pursue undergrad in the US. You will have to explain the career/knowledge gap btw the last time you left school and now. Good luck

That's true. I'm trying to build up a portfolio for every single knowledge I've learned during the gap years. Hopefully, I hope it would be convincing enough. Another thing is, I noticed most of the interviews including the approved and rejected, seem to fluctuate round the VO trying to grill you to know if you did the whole admission process yourself and also how motivated you are educational wise. I might be wrong sha

BigIyanga:

Good luck.
Another option is to finish your degree in Naija witj a good gpa, then apply for a PhD program that is not self-funded…an 1-20 form with US scholarship is very attractive to VOs… then get your masters and japa if you dont like reading and research.

O mehn, the option of re-studying in Naija is out of it for now, I know the amount of shallow and non enthusiastic so called lecturers we have in our universities here. I want a passionate and indepth knowledge of what I am studying from an environment like US or Germany. Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep that option of BSc to PhD in mind.

Terry27:
I guess it depends on how you sell yourself and your current career path. If you have been working in a computer field even without a Bsc, you can work on convincing the VO that you want to officially get a Bsc in this field and maybe an advanced degree because it aligns with your future ambition.

Be prepared for the tough questions and use google to find schools.

As for transfer, we don’t know what classes you completed and if the school you end up choosing will allow you transfer the course after evaluating them. Different schools have different requirements. Like I said earlier, you have your work cut out and even though everyone is not saying it in the language you feel is appropriate, they are right.
Best of luck

Yeah, my work is security, computer electronics and renewable energy. I think convincing the VO would need lots of knowledge on my field which I know I'm prepared for... I'll keep contacting schools sha, Thank you

Studymore123:


Please don't be depressed oh. At least you have a sponsor, what of those of us that don't have?

Yes, it's possible to gain admission for Computer Engineering. There are several schools offering the course. Fill out the application form for fall 2023. Apply to 2 or 3 schools. I was also a dropout so don't lose hope. I wish you the very best.

O mehn, the stress was much, truth dey wetin you type, should have been grateful instead of allowing the stress get to me. Thanks man, I really needed those words, I'll surely update the thread with my visa approval

BigIyanga:

You could have used this time to compose and send an enquiry letter to schools of your interest. I dont have to smother you with sweet response cos I’m not your therapist.
Sounding like an arrogant novice, using an agent for F1 will ruin ur chances. Try it and come tell us about ur expriences

I'm picking up those as intended advice. Gracias

Najdorf:

Oya it's ok. There's no rush to this thing. Take a good 3 months to do your own research online and get to understand this process.

Thanks Bro, I get you, I just hate when people try to play god.

BigIyanga:

You're looking for someone to do the work for you. Nobody can save you but you. Keep looking for a fight. You have so much energy in hitting reply button… but you cant research a list of schools that can offer u admission. Your journey is too long. You’re expending your energy on a wrong fight. Go play somewhere cos I’m busy

If I was looking for someone to do the work for me, I would have asked for an agent to do it for me, I asked a question instead of answering the question you jumped into conclusion saying someone like me would leave school if I was granted visa. Have you seen me before or do you know what I'm after. Don't make silly comments at people and then when hit back with the same energy you gave, you play the victim.

If you come wrongly at me, I would come wrongly at you it's that simple.

BigIyanga:

Cos you want to be spoon-fed. If you follow the thread, you will see what people have done… and still doing.. just copy and replicate. Aint nobody got time to send you any list. What is Google for??

.

Let me tell you what your problem is, you read what I wrote, you assumed you understood it, you bandly jumped to type rubbish instead of reading and truly understanding what I wrote.

People like you usually try to sound smart but in trying to sound smart you end up showing your lack of knowledge and understanding...

Assuming others decided to reason the way you reason, do you think this thread would still be alive??

Nozino:



For cases like this, it’s best to complete the bachelor’s degree In Nigeria or focus on the UK.

Thanks Bro, I have admission from some of the UK schools just that my focus was initially for Germany or USA... Still trying though...

My Transcript!!!
29th December 2023
First Attempt
COURSE: Nursing
COA: 33,000
FUNDING: NIL
SCHOOL: Houston Comm College
Lagos Consulate
Window 3 (middle-aged woman with beautiful green eyes like mine)

VO: Next person, please, after denying 5 people who went to her.
Me: Good morning officer, how was your Yuletide break.

VO: Blank stare without response.
VO: Pass me your documents
Me: Passed them with my study leave letter

Looks at study leave, types into her system and faces me.

VO: You have lovely eyes
Me: Thank you officer

VO: So why are you going to this school?
Me: Officer, please I'd like to make a few remarks before we begin.

VO: Don't make any remarks, I'll be the one asking the questions, all you need to do is answer.
Me: Okay officer, that's fine (frowning)

VO: So why are you going to this college?
Me: I'm aware I have quite a bit of an unusual situation, i'm going for a degree in nursing even tho I already have a bachelors degree, but I'm going for this program in this College to get some really specific knowledge and hands-on practical training that I can't get here in Nigeria to enable me transfer to the University of Houston for a Professional Dual Masters degree in Public Health Nursing with a concentration in Epidemiology, I have full funding from the school but will need to meet some requirements before I can transfer.

VO: Ohh you have an admission from the UofH
Me: Yes officer, I do?

VO: How did you hear about this school?
Me: My ex supervisor at the WHO recommended the school to me as he is an Alumna of the school.

VO: So how many schools did you apply to?
Me: I applied to 3 schools (mentions them), but I chose this college because they accepted to waive courses I had taken in my undergraduate degree program, and I was directly admitted into the Nursing program, this translates into completing the program in a shorter time.

VO: What do you currently do for work?
Me: I currently work with the WHO and National Hospital in Abuja as a Medical Officer, where alongside my colleagues, we provide holistic and therapeutic care and management to cancer patients, sickle cell disease patients and Haemophilia patients. As a rep from the WHO, I collaborate with UNICEF and USAIDS and UKAIDS to collate and analyze data of individuals from underrepresented communities and IDP camps across Nigeria and West Africa especially victims of Endemic diseases like HIV/AIDS, Malaria, Typhoid, and Hepatitis as well as victims of gender abuse and domestic violence, where we set up point referral systems to mapped out facilities to access health care (Cuts in), she was looking at my DS while I spoke.

VO: So how will you be covering this deficit.
Me: My father was required to demonstrate his ability to fund my studies before my I20 was issued, he's a medical doctor who lives in his own house and has a medical facility here in lagos, like me he also works with the WHO. He's also a serial entrepreneur and owns xyz investment limited, with my mum as the company's director, it's more of a family business. I'm not quite sure how many workers they have at the company but I think about 22 as the company is fully automated and don't require so many workers. Combined, they make an annual income of 310million, I'm not sure if this is the revenue every year but for their last Fiscal Year they made this amount. I also have a study leave that provides me 65% of my...(cuts me).

VO: Whats your post study plan?
Me: I completely blanked out, i mean we kept looking at each other for over 20 or so seconds (at this point i just kept praying in my mind).

VO: What will this program do for you?
ME: Well quite a lot, first I'll be coming back to Nigeria to work as a Clinical Associate with the WHO and USAID, this position will see me jump on-board the ongoing Typhoid vaccine introduction in Nigeria, we're currently at the data gathering stage of the project to assess and analyze the burden of the disease in Nigeria. Furthermore, this career path for me is a double edged sword as I could decide to focus either on Public Health challenges or on health care delivery systems bordering around Nursing or even both. This path also projects me towards managing my father's medical facility in future should he retire.

VO: Looking into my eyes, so you speak all these languages, thats a lot (smiling)?
Me: Yes officer I do (smiling back)?

VO: Avez-vous trouvé une petite amie ivoirienne en Côte d'Ivoire (smiling)?
Me: Je l'ai fait, mais elle s'est mariée avec quelqu'un d'autre à cause de la distance (laughing)

VO: You also seem to have a very nice LinkedIn profile and online presence (looking at her screen), I'll be approving your visa, take this white paper, it'll show you how to get your passport.
Me: Merci beaucoup mademoiselle, bonne fin de journée

VO: Au revoir.


I've been a silent member on this forum, but, many thanks to every single person who contributed to my success, God bless you guys abundantly. And I sincerely hope those awaiting a decision on their application, get a favourable response.

Your responses where good, plus most of the replies you gave where not the normal band answers a lot of folks cram and return back to the VO. Congrats

TWoods:




There you go.

Mr Oversabi, are you sure you don't have issue with comprehension??

What you highlighted, did you see anywhere I said someone should help me to apply?

What is wrong in me asking for a list of possible schools I could apply to? Direct me if you can, if you can't, stay off my mention before I give you wetin you dey look for.

TWoods:


You seem disinterested in doing any work yourself. So while someone else is looking for schools you can apply to, what would you be doing?

How did you come to that conclusion??

rextonMD:
My Visa was approved at the US consulate in Lagos yesterday. I want to thank everyone on this platform who shared their transcript, as well as their contributions on this forum. Thank you so much guys. And for those yet to get their visa, I pray that my story becomes yours, and that Jehovah sees you guys through your interview and grants you success.

Congrats

Please I need help, I'm almost running into depression.

I have a sponsor who wants to sponsor me to study in the USA. I've written and passed my IELTS exam, Money isn't much of a problem also, I've traveled to the UK before. Here's where my wahala is;

I'm 31 years old, I'm a technician, I've been to the university but didn't complete it, I want to apply for a BSc in computer engineering, my waec result is from 2008 although I wrote and passed Neco in 2020. I want to know if it would be possible and also which schools can I apply. Another thing is, am I to apply as a transfer student or new student?

Would have loved to price but my cash low
