NigPatriot:
Go with this same energy. You'll surely get the visa. You're well prepared.

Thank you

Good morning everyone
Pls can someone help me review and transcript, my interview is in 2 weeks.
Thank you.

V.O: Good morning
ME: Good morning. How’re you today?

V.O: where are you headed?
ME: I’m going to Georgia State University for a master degree program in Chemistry.

V.O: what’s your academic background?
ME: I completed my bachelors degree at Bowen University, Iwo with a first class honours in Biochemistry in 2018. After which I went on for my one year NYSC program where I taught chemistry at a secondary school in kaduna state.

V.O: what do you know about GSU?
ME: GSU located in downtown Atlanta was founded in 1913 as a night school for the Georgia school of technology. It is one of the four research universities in the university system of Georgia; university of Georgia, Augusta university and Georgia institute of technology.

V.O: why GSU?
ME: Asides the fact that I was offered a full tuition wavier with a graduate research assistantship position that’s comes with stipend. GSU has a very high research activity with its chemistry program among the top 10% in the USA according to US news ranking. Also, during my search I discovered Dr Suri Iyer whose research interest in drug design and molecular assay development aligns perfectly with mine. I’ll be working directly with him and he’s keen on having me join his research group. Also, GSU is located in the heart of downtown Atlanta, so I would get to experience life in the city and diverse cultures.

V.O: how did you discover the school?
ME: after my decision to get a master degree in chemistry. I used Peterson’s and gradschools website to search for schools offering a masters degree in chemistry, then I streamlined my options based on my research interests. That’s how I came across Dr suri and GSU.

V.O: what’s your research interest?
ME: my research interest focuses on the design and synthesis of small molecule antagonists of chemokine receptors involved in inflammatory diseases. These antagonists would act as therapeutic agents for these diseases thereby inhibiting the activities of these receptors. It also involves the development of molecular testing diagnostic tools using glycan-based diagnostics.
This is a very high research that is aimed at developing high performance drugs targeted at curbing symptoms (like swelling, joint stiffness, loss of movement) established in inflammatory diseases.
Furthermore, my engagement in this research would enhance my knowledge on drug design development and techniques which I would implement in the drug production team of my late father’s company upon arrival after graduation.

V.O: what’s your study plan
ME: my course takes 2 years to be completed with a minimum of 32 semester hours of graduate coursework. This includes a required 6 credits hours of thesis research, 2 credit hours of seminar and 3 credit hours of laboratory supervision. I’ll be taking a minimum of 12 credits in the fall semester to receive the assistantship.

V.O: what would this degree do for you?
ME: Getting this degree would advance my knowledge and techniques in drug development, which would qualify me for the position of the research and development chemist in the r&d team of my late father’s company upon my arrival after graduation.

V.O: Tell me about your late father’s company
ME: poultry support services is a registered limited company established in 1992. We started with running a veterinary clinic and also a animal supplies store; where we sell all animals drugs, feed and equipment. Until late 2019, when we decided to create a livestock drug production team where I work as the drug design and development analyst. Getting this degree would help me implement my drug design and development techniques as the research & development chemist in the team.

V.O: why USA?
ME: the United States has one of the best educational systems in the world and is known for having diverse research area. A degree in the US is well recognised all over the world.

V.O: I see you’ll be working as a research assistant, what would you be doing?
ME: as an RA I’ll be working 8 hours per week assisting in conducting research including data collection and compilation.

V.O: who’s sponsoring this trip?
ME: coupled with the stipend I’ll be getting as a research assistant. My deficit would be paid by my elder brother; who’s the current CEO of my late father’s company Poultry Support Services, where we’ve run a veterinary clinic and animal supplies store for over 25 years.

V.O: do you have any documents supporting this claim
ME: yes, hands over bank statement.

V.O: are you married?
ME: No

V.O: I’ll be approving your visa��
