sharwama:
Honestly, I wish I was a VO so I can approve visas for all my friends and loved ones . Then I will give 10 years ban to all the boys I fell in love with but couldn't love me back

u make sense

dreambound:
The I20 stated Parent or Guardian, and student, must sign if student is under 18

IT DIDN'T STATE PARENTS OR GUARDIAN SHOULD NOT SIGN IF STUDENT IS ABOVE 18.

THAT IMPLIES THAT IT IS MANDATORY FOR NON-ADULTS BUT NOT MANDATORY (OPTIONAL) FOR ADULTS ...YOU DID NOT DISOBEY ANY RULE.

please i made a mistake of signing on my i20 form and am above 18 ....wat can i do

i actually made dat mistake.. i told my Dad to sign it b4 seeing where it was written boldly...pls what can i do

dreambound:
If you're under 18, Yes. Else, No.

good morning house...am a bit confused here will my parent have to sign on my i20 form

anybody going to PVAMU

GRE don dey do negative marking

Milkshakes01:
The GRE score is even incorrect. Who scores 246 in GRE? The least 260

VO: why did you choose the US for your master’s degree program?
Me: I chose the United States because they focus much on research especially for my preferred course- 3D Printing Technology and Industrial Automation which is relatively at its infant stage in developing countries like Nigeria. Furthermore, institutions in the US offer students the opportunity to carry out research work with their professors and apply what they’re learning in the classroom in the lab or workshop which will afford me the opportunity to establish myself upon completion of degree.
VO: Why are you going to the US?
Me: I’m going to the US to obtain my master’s degree in Industrial Engineering at Morgan State University with concentration in Additive Manufacturing, Industrial automation and Cobots.
VO: tell me about your research interest?
Me: my research interest is focused on AM technology & Industrial Automation which involves the development of complex metal shape parts using 3D Printing and Rapid prototyping. All smart industries of the future have their processes interconnected by the Internet of Things (IOTs) incorporating greater flexibility, and individualization of the manufacturing process but such technology is far from us in this part of the world.
VO: what’s your highest degree?
Me: my highest degree is Bachelor of Engineering in mechanical engineering obtained from the University of Nigeria
VO: when did you graduate?
Me: I graduated in the year 2014
VO: and what have you been doing?
Me: After my National Youth Service Corps, NYSC in 2016, I started working as a Research Assistant Officer at bleep xxxx in in 2017 where I handle some responsibilities like the Design of mechanical components using AutoCAD, and produce them using Lathe machine. I also assist in organizing seminars and workshops for interns to enable them gain technical skills that will enhance their academics.
VO: How long have you been working with them?
Me: since 2017, so over 2years now
VO: tell me what you know about your course?
Me: Industrial engineering is one of the specializations in the field of mechanical engineering that is concerned with the design, analysis, evaluation and optimization of large systems and processes taking into consideration their interaction with machines, materials, and man power.
VO: what attempt have you made to tackle any of these problems?
Me: I carried out a research with a team on The Impact of 3D Printing Technology to the Nigerian Additive Manufacturing GDP. The study aimed to help engineering teams manage risks and understand the implications of their designs which can dramatically reduce the costs associated with 3D printing technology in the manufacturing sector to grow exponentially because it will reduce time to market and undue waste of resources.
VO: did you applied to other schools?
Me: yes ma’am
VO: name them
Me: Cleveland State University (mechanical engineering), and East Tennessee State University
(Industrial technology)
VO: why Morgan State University?
Me:I choose Morgan State University for a good number of reasons which are as follows:
First and foremost,
I found the research works of Prof. Richard Pitts, a faculty member in the department of Industrial engineering to align with my career goal & research interest. The research work focus on the production of Complex Metal Shape Parts using 3D Printing and Rapid Prototyping and I strongly believe carrying this research work would have significant advantage in my present work at the department of Projects Development Institute of the Fed. Mins of Science & Tech for a paradigm shift from the conventional manufacturing technologies using the application of 3D Printing technology for global competitiveness of industrial process and fast tracking of the manufacturing processes in Nigeria. I’m keen on being part of his research group so I have discussed my interest and he has agreed for me to join his research team come August
NOTE: Answer for why no funding? He submitted my research proposal to NASA and he’s waiting for their feedback
VO: how did you know this Prof?
Me: I found his name online when I was searching for schools that do research in the field of 3D Printing & Industrial Automation and also read some of his published journals.
Secondly, my area of research interest has its own well equipped state of the art laboratories dedicated for this research such as the Industrial Robotics and Automated Manufacturing(IRAM) Lab, the Manufacturing Process Lab, the Advanced Mfg. & Design Lab, and the Information and Systems Engineering Lab thus giving me the best in it's high quality industrial driven curricular.
Thirdly, I wanted a university that will give me maximum exposure to the applications of advanced technology in the field of Industrial engineering been the only accredited Industrial engineering program in the state of Maryland and has been elevated to tier-2(R2) status with very high research activity based on the Carnegie Classification as well as a faculty affiliated with the world leading research centre known as the NextManufacturing Centre.
Fourthly, Morgan State University provided an opportunity to prepare for various industrial professional certification courses like the Supply Chain Professional, Quality Engineer, and Six Sigma Black Belt which is not available in other schools.
Finally, the tuition fee is very affordable and I will be studying in an extreme diverse community with great minds from across the world. Also encouraging testimonies from the Alumni network also contributed immensely to my decision making.
VO: why Industrial engineering?
Me: Industrial Engineers are in very high demand in my country Nigeria due to the rapid industrialization processes and the growing complexities of modern life. Statistics from the Nigeria Industrial Revolution Plan, NIRP indicates that the industrial sector contributes just only 3% to export revenues but accounts for over 58% of imports due to over dependence on oil as the mainstay of our economy. In my country Nigeria, the self acclaimed giant of Africa imports virtually everything including tooth picks, matches and from history, no country have ever become rich by exporting her raw materials without also having an active industrial sector and in modern terms an advanced services sector. I will return back to Nigeria immediately upon completion of studies fully empowered to become a senior industrial production engineer on a managerial level to head a department at at bleep xxxx or take up appointment as a senior lecturer at my Alma Mater the University of Nigeria’s newly established department of Industrial and Production Engineering (though currently awaits full accreditation status from the National Universities Commission, NUC) to help pioneer its eventual take off.
VO: what will this course do for you? Or what are your plans after graduation??
Me: With the technical vast knowledge and the on-demand skills acquired from this course, I would be fully empowered to advance my career from the position of Assistant Research officer to Senior Industrial Production Engineer on a managerial level at bleep xxxx. I wish to establish a 3D printing Technologies Company so that Nigeria and other developing countries can benefit from the rapidly evolving 3D technologies because of its wide applications in architecture, construction, aerospace, industrial design, military etc
VO: how did you hear about the university?
Me: I made an extensive search online with focus on schools that do research in AM Technology and Industrial Automation field and also Professor Richard Pitt’s ongoing research on 3D Print for Rocket Engine Parts. I do attend some Technology webinars where speakers talk on how enormous potentials of Rapid Prototyping will spur growth within the sector for commercial 3D Printing to reshape manufacturing globally.
VO: any proficiency test?
Me: English proficiency testing is not required for applicants from Nigeria and other British common wealth countries but I sat for the standardized GRE test
VO: did you write any standardized Test?
Me: yes ma’am, I took the GRE
VO: what’s your score?
Me: I scored 279,140 verbal, 139 quantitative and 3.0 on analytical writing
VO: do you have anyone in the US?
Me: Yes, my uncle
VO: who is your sponsor?
Me: my uncle
VO: what does your uncle do for a living?
Me: he works at bleep...
VO: Why is he sponsoring you?
Me: because he's like a second dad to me
VO: let me have his statement of account
VO: are you married?
Me: (Smiles) No, I’m not yet married
VO: any kids?
Me: no ma’am
VO: have you travelled out of Nigeria before?
Me: no ma’am, I have not had any reason to travel until now, education is what’s taking me to the United States.
VO: where would you stay in the US for your study?
Me: I would stay in Baldwin Hall inside the campus. I have contacted the school and made inquiries, I will pay for the accommodation once my visa is approved
VO: So where are you going to stay when you arrive in the US?
Me: there is an airport pickup arrangement for new students so before my travel, I would send my itinerary to the international office & they would manage to pick me up
VO: I will be approving you visa...
