Silent follower here. Visa approved this morning.
Transcript of visa interview below:
VO: Good morning. Please pass your passport and i-20
ME: Good morning. Hands over passport and i-20
VO: What will you be doing in the US.
Me: I’ll be pursuing an MBA from Penn State University.
VO: How did you hear about the school?
Me: Research. It’s no. 1 in supply chain management, which is what I would like to transition to from assurance. I also got feedback about the program from a former colleague who’s there now.
VO: What will the MBA do for you?
Me: It will enable me transition from easily from being an auditor to a supply chain management professional.
VO: What’s the duration of your MBA?
Me: Two years
VO: How do you intend to fund your MBA?
Me: I have a fellowship that waives tuition for the two years of the program and provides a monthly stipend for living expenses. The little balance will be covered from personal savings.
VO: How many schools did you apply to?
Me: Four.
VO: Name them
Me: University of Maryland, Notredame, Rochester
VO: How many did you get accepted into?
Me: All but Notredame. I got waitlisted by Notredame
VO: Did you write any standardized tests?
Me: Yes
VO: Which?
Me: GRE and TOEFL
VO: You had applied last year to a different school. What school was that?
Me: Arizona State – WP Carey
VO: You were denied a visa, know why?
Me: Not given a reason. I suspect the VO had issues with the loan letter from MPower. She said there was meant to be an address on the loan letter, which I escalated to MPower, but was informed that the letter was a standard letter issued to all applicants.
VO: Hands over white paper and explains that it will take some time to process the visa.

AMEN I RECEIVE IT.

fairheart:
I only share this dream with a few students who are close to me. But let me tell those of you going for your interview soon. I dreamt 9 days ago that the US embassy issued a lot of student visa this year, and in the dream, I was very happy. This should relieve tension and boost your confidence as you prepare for this crucial moment. Congrats to all of you in advance.

Stop speaking like this, it is people who've always been privileged in every aspects of life that speak like that. And people who probably have never tasted disappointments.
Life isn't always fair, it doesn't offer everyone the same chances/advantages.

bracelum:
Stop sounding philosophical - this is reality! If you don't use resources at your disposal and achieve success like >90% of your classmates, it is your fault. It is the same "life" you all are experiencing and the fact they became successful shows that they worked harder or smarter than you.

Noted. Thanks.

What the dept in most schools will post on their websites are research areas. It is up to you to find out what the lecturers do by going through their profiles and using google scholar to check their published works.

Hello house,

HOW DOES ONE KNOW THE ONGOING RESEARCH /WORKS IN A FACULTY? IS IT JUST THROUGH CHECKING STAFF DIRECTORY OF EACH LECTURER OR ANYOTHER WAYS?

The reasons for denial are obvious. Apart from the school, you failed on two attempts to explain why you chose this school. The VO gave you chances twice which was why he smiled at some point cos you didn't get it. Research the unique points of the school and your course better and refire.

demmysoft:
Recently, l requested for someone who can assist me in reviewing my transcript before l go for the interview but unfortunately there was no response, l pm some people as well but non replied. By the way, l need your candid advise on my last visa delay at Abuja embassy last Thursday.


vo: good morning
me: good morning sir
vo:passport please
me: l passed my passport and 1-20 form
vo: you are going for graduate study in Maharishi University
me: yes sir
vo: tell me why did you choose this school
me: having work for some years as software developer, the school course content and the academic curriculum perfectly fit into my current exp and my future career goal . . . . cuts in and asked me a question but l don't really understand the question because it was during my explanation he cut me off (just overheard the school name) and l don't want to assume, then l said pardon
vo: how many schools did you apply to
Me: 3, and mentioned them, Georgia southern university, university of New Haven
Vo: why did you now choose this university
Me: likewise l said the school course content fit into my current experience, the school specialized in software development (cuts in with a smile but others school as well), then l cuts in too what l meant is that before l was admitted to the school, l wrote an entry exam in JAVA which need to be passed before you can be admitted, the schools checked and verified previous project previously handled . . . .
Vo: ok

Me: then l continued, tuition fees and living expenses affordable compare to other universities, the financial aid package . . .
Vo: sorry, your visa is not approved
Me: OK, thank you, can you please tell the reason in case of next time l will . . .
Vo: sorry, can you allow me attend to another applicant please.
Me: nah so l smiled, ok thank you sir.

Kindly advise on the next line of action,

1. Should l reapply for the second time before the school resume in May.
2. Should l wait till September for the other admission

Time2win:
Just accept the admission and wait for the scholarship decision. Just be checking your portal often cos they may not notify you via email.

Hello, Newhaven has given me admission since 21st but no funding on the letter. Did your funding came with the admission?
What do you think I can do to at least get some percentage?

Time2win:
Then upload it to them, they normally do their own internal evaluation

LordSir1:
Hello, please is there any past current or prospective graduate student of Lamar University in the house? I recently got accepted and I would like to ask a couple of questions

Please, Did Lamar University accept unofficial transcript to be uploaded for admissions?

Please house,

Can anyone recommend schools for post graduate whose priority deadline is still a bit far ahead?
And that does not need articulated transcript. I mean that takes ordinary Pdf uploaded transcript for admissions?

Thanks!
I don search so tey I don dey lose weight

By this, you mean if I have an unofficial copy of my transcript, I can send it to NACES for evaluation?

Predstan:
Unofficial transcripts evaluated by Naces

Oh great! Not far off the free evaluation then.
Thanks for the information.

Hi,
The online free WES evaluation only provides an idea of what your actual score after evaluation would be. I had a UG GPA of 3.63/5.0 scale. With the free WES online I had 3.24, after the official WES evaluation I had 3.26.

Hello house,

Please if I use the online free WES evaluation, does it make the result equivalent to what it would be if I did the paid one? I want to know if the scores mean the same thing.
I had 3.62/5.0 scale in a Nigerian undergrad.
Online free WES evaluation gave me 3.13/4.0scale.
Is it safe to state it on applications that I have 3.13 on a 4.0 scale? Thanks!

I applied to Georgia Southern University Fall2019 MPA program.
Though I'm facing some challenges in my application status, it all seems complete and submitted but they still send me messages to check my status for incomplete documents.
I was waived for application fee though.

Pepperoni001:
Is there anyone here who applied for Fall 2019 admission at Georgia Southern University or Eastern Illinois University?

I also applied to the same school.
Please, Did you send your undergraduate transcript through your university or from the evaluation agency during application?

shoyoyebiodun:
fall 2019 and am hoping on GA too I just put that on my Transcript and please help me look at transcript also

Okay, noted. Thanks

Godchangemylife:
The two are the same ...
You just make sure to save it as a pdf file and also make sure to use a camscanner app always...


Both are the same... Things are made easy now

I'll do that. Thanks!

bracelum:
Great!
Just get a new copy via a proper scanner. And save it to the cloud (Dropbox or Google Drive) for future use.

You're right though. And no, it's not about the schools deadline. I just have a cope I scanned a while back with my phone so I wanted to use it. But a hunch tells me that It could be a risk not worth taking.
Thanks for the correction.

bracelum:
Even though it might come to a point when technology can make us do things very easy, I still prefer doing things the old-school way in order to be on the safe side. It doesn't hurt to spend a few hundreds of naira to scan your transcripts through a scanner. I have used a picture (taken with a clear phone camera) of a document as a replacement for a scanned copy and it worked fine. However, a scanned copy is always the best option.

So why are you using a phone scanner? Is today your submission deadline and you suddenly realized you don't have your documents ready? Or better stated, did you procrastinate the scanning until the deadline, which is today?

Okay, thanks for the information.

Please do know if their GRE requirement paramount priority for admissions or just a prerequisite?

omoobaadeNGR:
It wiil take time before you get a response. Contact them on: allin1@csuohio.edu

For today Sunday alone?

I applied for the same viking application on February 14th but they're yet to waive the fee on my profile. I've sent an email to the treasury and admissions Office but yet to get response.

omoobaadeNGR:
NOTE: CSU is waiving the $40 application fee on March 17, 2019, for new graduate applicants. For the Viking Application, select “pay by mail” to submit.

You do not have to complete the entire application on March 17th to get the waiver. You can submit transcripts and/or test scores at a later date.

Hello,
Please has anyone ever used the phone CamScanner to scan their Transcript and other documents for admissions? Is it the same quality with the normal system scanner? Is it advisable to be used?
Thanks for the anticipated responses.
