QUICK TIP!!!

This is for those who want to write strong letters of motivation. I figured a way that might work if executed properly. I wanted to transfer from my department into another department which to be honest, I don't think I'm very qualified for. What did I do? I scheduled an appointment with the department's Graduate Coordinator. I went to her office and I asked her questions about the department. I asked stuff like how ranked the department is in the US, what the course is really like especially the courses students are mostly scared to take, placement of recent graduates and what they went on to do with their lives, I asked if they admitted students with backgrounds from totally different disciplines and the chance of getting in (and if so, what are they really considering from such students), what the department was moving towards in terms of development, etc. It was a trap cheesy She told me everything about the department, what they're looking for, was indirectly bragging about how this and that, etc. Lobatan.

I went back home, and composed a letter of motivation. I wrote about myself in a way that plugged into everything that was going on in that department. I personalized everything she told me and made it look like that's what I'm really looking for. Don't want to go into much details, but I really wrote it in a way that reflected all she told me during our meeting. Even my future plans mirrored what most of their recent graduates went on to do. I picked particular interest in that course she said many people didn't like haha cheesy I submitted my application on Monday, Tuesday afternoon, they had already made a decision and she asked for another appointment to come so she'd show me around again and get me more familiar with the department. Na my $255 Paco Rabanne perfume work that one, She wan see baba again cheesy

Now, how to execute this plan. I think you should call the grad coordinator of the department you want to gain admission into. If possible, schedule an appointment via email and let it be a convenient time for them to talk. If you can't call, email could work too. Have a list of questions to ask. The point is to get them to tell you about the department, about the students already in the department, what they're really looking for, what students have gone on to do with their lives after school, etc. Get them to talk, talk, talk. After the conversation, carry your fingers and write a letter that's going to plug into the scope.

Don't know if this makes any sense, I rushed it. Apologies for any typos and incoherence. Cold wan finish my fingers. it's 24F/-4C here. Bye.

................... After leaving the NDLEA woman, I walk down to my boarding gate, sit down there for like an hour.After like one hour, announcement was made for departure.Everybody were line up and another checking against was done again but this time it is just ticket checking and body screening check.

Straight to the flight , I located my own seat and a Sat down , each person with his or her own airplane gadget for video, audio, games etc men there are a lot of unfilled seat especially the four seaters.people just move from their original seat to the four seaters in order to get space to sleep.lol.

After like 2 hrs we were serve food, rice precisely but the rice was very small different kind of drinks, snacks, water , Turkish wine etc.After another 4 hrs 35 minutes we touch down at ataturk international airport, Istanbul turkey, the temperature was at 6 degree very cold but still bearable.we got into long bus directly and we were conveyed into the main airport.

I have no time to waste because I have to connect with my next flight and I have less than 40 minutes to do that,I quickly took some pictures within the airport and straight down to screening.check my hand bag, do body screening After which I quickly locate a big sign direction within the airport to know my boarding gate.The boarding gate far no b small oooo.u need to see the way I was running in order not to miss my connecting flight and looking at sign direction every second.i got to the boarding gate, another series of screening again, na wa for turkey oooo.i was also ask for my i-20 and I show them.straight outa turkey and into the connecting plane.

Transfast is pretty reliable too, used a couple of times, if you dont want to be charged you can wait 3-5 days for the cash to reflect back home

you cannot buy a one way ticket...the airline should not allow it if your course is less than 1 year. check with the airline but i am sure thats the rule

airline checking you in will see your passport and visa at the time u want to check it... how long is your visa valid for ?

usually if you have bought a one way for example with b1b2 . when you get to the airport , usually the air attendant should stop you from flying unless you have a return ticket using b1b2 as an example. i think the same rules apply if your course is less than 1 year... Best to go the major airline offices or call to confirm the rules
