Vo: how many schools did you choose?
Me: two schools, NEU and FSU
Vo: how many admits ?
Me: both
Vo: why NE ?
Me: I chose NE because it's affordable for my parent.
Also because the university has a well structured curriculum in my field of study in that most of the courses I'll be taking ( I mentioned few) are research oriented. This will not only expose me to series of quality research but also make me proficient in the field
Furthermore, NE is highly reputable in my field of study and ranked 5th in Biotechnology

Its always very rare for any company to sponsor their staffs for a degree abroad especially when you have not worked with them for so long or if its not one of this multinational companies.

Also it seems VO wasn't convinced that you were passionate enough about that course from the the answers you gave. Also you didnt answer the why four years part, I guess you didnt see that coming.

My thoughts though. All the best in your next interview Bro. Please refire


quote author=HOLUVICTORY post=63484604]Dear All,

My visa was delayed today by the tall white guy at window 9.(Appointment: 6:30am) Below is my transcript.

V.O: Good morning sir, Your passport and I20
Me: Morning sir (while I passed the requested documents)
V.O: which school are you going?
Me: Southern Arkansas University
V.O: For which course?
Me: Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a (he cut in)
V.O: which type of engineering?
Me: Welding Engineering Technology
V.O: Do you apply to any other school?
Me: Yes
V.O: Which?
Me: Ferris State University
V.O: Did they admit you?
Me: Yes
V.O: Why SAU?
Me: As a student of SAU, I have the opportunity to participate in undergraduate research during my studies, combined with collaborative research on a national level, which includes summer programs at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in Berkeley California. And most of the courses I'll offer will be taught by engineering professors who have work experience in industries.
V.O: Why going for four years degree in welding, why not a two years course or something?
Me: The degree will equip me with the mathematics, science, and engineering education I need to competently function in the welding industry.
V.O: Ok, can you weld?
Me: No, but I supervise their work on site.
V.O: Tell me about your job?
Me: As an assistant site engineer, I supervise staff on site which includes the welders, I provide technical advice and solve technical issues on site (he cut in)
V.O: How are you able to supervise welding when you can't weld?
Me: Even though I don't know the nitty-gritty of welding, I do know the basics because I did my SIWES during my O.N.D in a welding company. (I was not this fluent anyway. I stammered while expressing myself)
V.O: Ok, who is paying?
Me: My company and my Uncle.
V.O: Who owns your company?
Me: I told him
V.O: Who is he to you?
Me: Employer
V.O: You mean your employer is paying for this?
Me: Partly, their sponsorship covers room and board, supplies and book expenses, while my Uncle will foot the remaining bills.
V.O: (He said something about having network problem)
Me: Alright, no problem.
V.O: Are you married or single?
Me: single
V.O: Child?
Me: No
V.O: Sorry,..........................[/quote]

Don't shoot yourself in the Leg.you've already told the VO that you applied to the above schools. Those schools have already been recorded in their system. Telling him you applied to another will likely lead to a denial and you would have lost your trust at the Embassy. Try to honestly strengthen other aspects of your app.....hope this helps

Please, can anyone help with TOEFL materials? I am applying for a Doctoral program and the school insists I submit an English proficiency test - TOEFL, IELTS, PTE, CAE, CPE ....... (because I have not completed four consecutive semesters in the U.S). Likewise, which of the test would you likely recommend as I have about 28 days to prepare? I plan to write the exam immediately the new semester begins (before class work and other commitment sets in).

Advice, tips, and materials would be highly appreciated.

I would recommend you write TOEFL, its easy just like Waec English. You can write with 2weeks preparation and get >95. All you need to really practice for is the speaking section. Just go to youtube and download notefull Toefl speaking videos to practice and understand the speaking questions pattern. Additionally, download ETS official toefl guide to familiarize yourself with the other sections. Thats all you need, no big deal about Toefl.

Northeastern is very nice school, and I'm pretty confused as to what the problem is here; but I highly suspect that it is your sponsors profile. The profile really doesn't match the financial weight of the school. did you apply yourself or was it done by an agent?. Forget about application for now and restart the whole process next year, ,and preferably visit EducationUSA, they have a consulting session at the embassy for intending students.

Mama ejima (mom of twins), please you need a GRE to cover for applying to "one safe school". I understand you have a tight work schedule, but the VO won't understand that. They are sacrifices we make if we are serious on pursuing studies abroad. The VOs are doing their work. I will advice, never refire now. Defer till fall and prepare and sit for GRE.
