Me- ecpi university and university of Houston
V. O - do you write any test

Me - health care administrator
V. O - are you married
Me - yes
V. O - do you have kids

I also want to ask a question on the ds-160 form which says " your intended period of stay in the USA " should I still answer it by saying 2 years knowing fully well that my course will take me up to 2.5 years. As they say they only issue visa for 2 years. Please I need your opinion on this. Thanks

I'm really sorry for dropping this transcript very late. i have always dreamt of dropping a really long and juicy transcript, but i have noticed how impatient i get when reading lengthy transcripts therefore; i'd make this as laconic as possible. lets cut to the chase, here is the conversation between Christian and the cute V.O:

V.O: Good Morning. Pass me your passport and your sevis ID
Me: Here(i dey try arrange the thing with confidence, but the VO come say "don't worry, just pass it "
V.O: How did you find this school?
Me: (i dey happy because of my rehearsed lines) i first heard about this school through my erstwhile lecturer and mentor, Prof Idowu. i then went further to check out the school through NASPPA research journal, and further streamlined my search using my research interest.
V.O: what would this degree do for you?
Me: It would give me the necessary skills needed to take up a lecturing job at the University of Ibadan, where I earned my B.Sc. I would also be able to consult for both the Federal and state government through the Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research (NISER).
V.O: who is sponsoring you?
Me: My dad
V.O: what does he do?
Me: He is a successful publisher and the CEO of Christain plc with 4 locations both in Lagos and Ibadan. he also deals in automobiles.

V.O: Brings out white paper... adebimpe and Professor Charles don give me and Valentine the virtual White paper so e no even strange , but i confirm wetin you guys dey always talk; i think i went deaf at that point. i just collected my paper and zoomed off, smiling.


i wont mention names any more, i'd just thank everyone at this point. i still remember my first post like it was yesterday. i remember Malory84 answering some of my first ever questions , as dumb as they were then. i love all of you mehn. i hope to hook up with some of you soon especially Bobority . the babe fine meeeeeehhhnnnn

TO the ones going for interview soon, i say be VERYYYYYYYY confident. notice my stress. even if you are yearning dust, yearn am with confidence. stare back confidently at the VOs. they are humans like you. Finally and most importantly, PRAY like your life depends on it because in the end, it all boils down to favour and grace. A lot of people were denied mehn. infact, in my row, i was the only first timer. dem don deny almost those guys. i wish i could type more, but i would drop more hint later on sha.

Big congrats to you. Public Administration is a wonderful course. People think its not lucrative. Lol (I Laugh at them in french). My advice to you; you wont see alot of international students. You might be the only one. 90% whites.But thats fine. They can be very nice and approachable. Your professors will know you by name. Which will help you later. Especially if you always participate in discussing the readings.Class sizes are usually very small. Your course mates would be mostly matured peeps. So lectures are more like conversations. Try and chip in some lines to the convos. But it means studying your readings.(Those are the hardest i tell you. Its a whole lot).Sometimes they merge with PHD students. So it gets really intense.But the good thing is you can take advantage of it. Most of them work in very wonderful places. So just be nice and network well. I already have two people from my class ready to help me with internship in their departments. Just get along nicely, but don't force it. Goodluck!
