Hi,

I was offered admission to UTA and I have no clue what to expect. I'm currently studying at University of New Haven. CT. I want to transfer to UTA but I need to know how things work over there because here just seem to be an Indian or Arab school with few other races. There are little or No assistantships for internationals so it's really difficult here. I feel if the school doesn't want to offer assistantships, then value for money becomes important. So let me know what UTA looks like, transportation to school (I no get car) and jobs too. By the way I'm studying Ms Mechanical Engineering.

Well, on-campus jobs are also hard to get at UTA. Transportation to school will be a challenge if you can't get an on-campus apartment (no public transportation), but those are typically not difficult to get.
Not trying to discourage you, but you might face the same funding issues there too. Just make sure to secure funding before accepting their offer. Once you get in, it more or less becomes same struggle
They have a good Mech program though.

When I read interview transcripts and people say they weren't asked for their documents, I always find it very hard to believe, until it happened to me this morning.
6:30am appointment, Lagos Visa Office, Window 6
VO: Good Morning
Me: Good Morning Sir
VO: Why are u going to d US
Me: To obtain a master's degree in Public Health
VO: How did u know about d sch?
Me: Did some extensive research online via usnews.com and Google.com, and narrowed my search to my sch
VO: Why this sch?
Me: This was where I hijacked the interview, gave him a brief lecture on the public health concentration/specialization areas my school offers and how it aligned with my career aspirations, integrated it with implementation of that specific knowledge and skill in the Nigerian healthcare system.
and convinced him why my school offers the ideal academic structure. VO then cuts in while I was talking, and said those magic words....visa approved.

No documents where asked for, not even bank statements and tests results, and to think my folder couldn't contain my documents, had to put them in a bag.

The key learning here is, prepare yourself, be confident, answer intelligently, that way you don't give the VO an opportunity to find a fault.
Above all, and most importantly...say a word of prayer, you have no idea how much it will do.

Goodluck to potential applicants

congrats...

it is expensive. It's 9months so decide it by the amount. It's expensive to me. If you have the cash you can pay. They should allow you pay per semester.

to me its a fortune buh I would talk to them

Thank in anticipation

Pls share your transcript with the VO with us.... For those of us still preparing to attend. I love this forum!

I read every bit of page 1 to 439 in 5days, d thing no easy. n I will see peeps who r asking for info n some experienced peeps'll say go n read d entire season 5, nna meehn. As a guy who reads n notes what he reads I'll lk to shout out to some people: slimmy's really very helpful, I wish walspring a successful interview, dicapino n edlib wey dey tear Gre this guys will be like: 'damn! y didn't I get 170? I must petition Gre'. Profojah n pussiesandie, hmmm! I dey hail zeeza wey hold down Houston n MSnas wey wan port if she see chance. n I really lk d swag of this guy idawbaz, d guy has a nice balance btw acedemics n socials, this guy dey rep.

As per the VO interview, d VO seem to ask THE SAME questions for every candidate n I feel d main reasons y pple get denied is because their answers r too shallow for a graduate student. how did u hear about this sch? y did u choose this sch over others? y do u want this degree? This r d 3 places where you need to 'tear d VO apart'. I will drop ma profile soon, am also hoping for fall 2015 but no be by force o cos i luv naija but na by force also, cos I always want to succeed in my endeavours.
