Nahum777:
Congrats bro. Have you been sent a message to come for your visa? Are they still telling you that your passport is still with the embassy?

imperiouxx:
@ Nahum777, Dewumi054, YoungTesla, paulbets

Cheers!

imperiouxx:


I like this part. You can't be forced but the VO knows you may likely consider that option later. Also you were smart with your response.

learner007:


God is greaaaatttt!!!! I have been waiting for this news. You don't know how happy I am tonight, bro. This is well deserved. Oya make we go ball for Illinois jare...Congrats bro

Bobority:


Oya naaa see smart answers!!! You do not know how happy I am and how long I have been waiting to hear this. God bless your new journey bro!

thirdpage:


Congrats. You really killed it! If you'd said you'll go for PhD I think the VO will still approve your visa. And he really drilled you. Ya smart though!

TheSuperladyy:
That being said. Good morning again.

I am trying to book my flight for next month. Do I have to get a return ticket? Some folks told me I won't be able to fly with a one way ticket.

Also, our seniors that are in the US, help answer this one. What airline would you suggest in terms of comfort, baggage limit and short layovers?

Thanks as you oblige.

GOOD MORNING PEOPLE, PLEASE HELP IN REVIEWING MY PROPOSED TRANSCRIPT, MY INTERVIEW IS TOMORROW MORNING, THANKS


VO: Good morning ma'am, pass me you I-20, passport please.
Me: Good morning. Sure, here they are.
VO: What are you going to the US to do?
Me: I am going Jamestown community college for a certificate in network and systems administration This Certificate program can be a very hard stuff for you to sell
VO: What is your highest degree?
Me: Bachelor of Biochemistry
VO: What year did you graduate?
Me: I graduated in 2013
VO:Why are you going for an associate degree why not a bachelor degree
Me: I want a degree that will take me just two years and considering my sponsors budget, university is way more expensive. This response here is not the best. You already have a degree, and If cost will be an issue; the vo could ask, why not do the certification in aptec or NIIT. Why waste fleight ticket money that can be used to gain this same certification in Nigeria? This is a question you should ponder.
VO: Why are you switching career
Me: My first job in the IT firm was an eye opener for me but jobs were not assigned to me because I do not have a degree related to the IT industry So you have just clearly stated it here now that jobs were not given to you because you do not have a degree in IT. So why aren't you going for a degree in IT then. Why waste your time and money on a certificate or associate degree course that will probably not land you any serious jobs since you not have a degree in IT. A course that you could probably do online for a price far cheaper than your air ticket to USA and also probably cheaper than what aptech may charge you here in Nigeria?
VO: why this program
Me: My goal is to support organizations by ensuring a smooth running computing infrastructure, so getting a degree in this program will give me the practical and theoretical knowledge to achieve this goal and also it will not limit me to my place of work. You just said your course is a certificate course or even an associate degree. SO it is not qualified to be called a degree!
VO: How much school did you applied to
Me: 4 other school, Kansas city CC, Jefferson CC, Metropolitan CC, and Houston CC.
VO:How many gave you admission
Me: 3
VO: Why JCC
Me: Of all the school that gave me admission, Only JCC introduced business as part of the curriculum for my course of interest which was a side catch for me and also the department provides one on one mentoring by major professors like professor Williams and Mr. Jeffery.
VO: What have you been doing since then?
Me: After my NYSC in 2015, I got a worked in an IT firm as a customer support (training and implementing hospital software, then in 2016 I got a job in my current place of work as an IT consultant where I support and monitor the IT operations) Ask yourself, How can someone work as an IT consultant when they have clearly stated that they were a complete novice when it comes to IT, and you already stated that your first place of work could not assign jobs to you in your current state.
VO: Who is paying for your studies?
Me: My place of work will be sponsoring my studies Why will your place of work sponsor you to study for a certification or Associate degree in IT when you are a novice in the field, and keeping in mind the huge cost of living and studying in the USA, why will they gain by sponsoring you?
VO: Why are they sponsoring you?
Me: I have been able to improve the hospital operations by introduce the use of hospital software to run our operations Where did you learn the skills to do this? and how did you exactly improve there hospital operations. Remember you had said your place of work is an IT Firm.
VO: Do you have any children?
Me: No ma'am
VO: Are you married?
Me: No ma'am
VO: You qualify for a Visa ........
Me: Thanks

Hi everyone. I need help deciding on a program...

I got into a few programs in the US for MSc Software Engineering & MSc Computer Science with Software Engineering track. I have tried over the past few days to decide on which one to attend, but I'm not making a headway. I have done a ton of research, read reviews on reddit, rate my professor and so on. I just want input from anyone who is or knows someone currently enrolled in one of these schools to provide me with more "real" information, you know, what It's actually like attending any one of these schools, particularly as a Nigerian student. 

The schools are :

Bradley University, Peoria Illinois.

Kennesaw State University, Georgia.

Loyola University, Chicago.

University of Houston- Clear Lake

Towson University, Maryland.

Thank you.

learner007:
And finally, God makes it 4/4. My admission season is OVER!!! I return all the glory to Him. But, please I need advice now. Since this is a PhD offer in General Maths, it looks as if PhD is more convincing to the VO but then UIUC (Master's) is ranked higher than UTA. Please I need possible advice from gurus in the house

Cc bigfrancis, Twoods, Lagosismyhome, imperioux, femi312, paulbets, scholastica and other big guns...abeg

Coxtie:
