Sorry o but does(for example) $12000 per semester stated on the school website mean that's the amount I will pay for year 1 or I will pay it twice for first and second semester making a total of 24 000 dollars?

And also, after admission, how many weeks after resumption do most schools give before you have to pay and are installmental payments allowed?
I know these questions differ with school but generally, what's the package often like
There are technically two semesters in a year for grad student. The quoted fee says ''per semester''. You will pay that twice in a year. Most schools allow you to pay installmentally while some wont allow you to register for the next semester if you don't pay your outstanding dues

Guys pls, the agent in US told my cousin not to open his i20 form that it is to be opened by the VO , pls how true is this ?

Furthermore , how true is the information that there is a new policy (created about a week ago ) that someone with a visitors VISA who applied for student VISA in country outside USA and got denied and proceed to USA on his visistors Visa and decided to applied for student VISA from USA and gets denial will be immediately deported because his intention of student visa has been created already when he first applied outside USA and thus, he’s not in US to visit but to apply for student visa
That might be true but the policy is vague. If you apply for change of status in the US, even for green card and it gets denied..the next thing is deportation process

MY PROPOSED TRANSCRIPT PLEASE GO THROUGH AND CRITICISE WHERE NECESSARY I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND EVERYONE HAS A BUSY SCHEDULE BUT PLS PLS DO NOT READ AND SCROLL SAY SOMETHING!smiley

Me: Good Morning Ma/Sir
Vo: Morning Pass me your I-20 and passport

Vo: Why are you going to the US:
Me: To do my Masters in Information Systems and Technology

Vo: What will you be specializing in ?
Me: I will be specializing in Information Management Application

Vo: Tell me about your Information Systems and Technology
Me: It’s a 30 credit hours degree program for computer scientists, Engineers, business people and other professionals who have the responsibilities of using, improving, installing, managing and evaluating integrated enterprise wide information systems. The program focuses on business process and ERP(enterprise resource planning) software to integrate the functional areas such as finance, sales, manufacturing, distribution e.tc
During the period of my degree I would be taking courses such as:
Database Management Systems
Enterprise Information Systems
User interface Design and analysis
Object oriented systems design
Data Structures and Algorithm and of some computer programming languages

Vo: Why the US?
Me: Universities in the US have an excellent teaching curriculum and the US is also known as the world renowned academia and a degree from the US has an excellent international reputation and is also well recognized and respected around the globe.
US universities are diverse in terms of age, religion and cultural background.
The US also provides excellent support for international students and academic flexibility as well.
Advanced use of technology

Vo: Why Masters in Information Systems and Technology or what will this degree do for you:
Me: Masters in Information Sys and Tech would help me achieve my future career goals which are Starting up an Information Management Consulting Team.

The degree would also give me access to the recent advances in information system, the necessary skills and techniques I need to integrate information Technology into enterprise systems.
With the skills and techniques obtained from this degree I would develop( write a proposal to the Nigerian Government Via the National Identity Management Commission and the Independent National Electoral Commission) a Centralized Information Management System for the nation Nigeria( the system would comprise of all the details (Name, Date of Birth, school and job history of citizens, medical history of citizens). The system would assist greatly in crimes and curbing corruption. Bank verification number would be used as unique entity in the process to reduce data duplication on the system.
I also chose this field because there is continual career progression if the individual is focused and determined.

Vo: How Many Schools did you apply to?
Me: 2 (University of Michigan-Dearborn and Western Michigan University)


Vo: How many accepted you:
Me: Both

Vo: Why University of Michigan-Dearborn
Me: Honestly the major reason I chose UMD is because of the Ford Motor Company as I have been working as ford service advisor for 3 years now and schooling at UMD would give me the opportunity to visit, experience and interact with individuals at FoMoCo( the thought of that excites me because I would get to see the first manufacturing assembly line and it would be really nice to have feel of the manufacturing process)
UMD has small class size of 17:1 (student:Teacher) which would give me the opportunity to interact easily with my faculty members and fellow students.
UMD has an engaged campus community and they offer several internships opportunities.

VO: After the degree what do you intend doing?
Me: I would come back home to start up an information Management Consulting Team.
I also plan to build a centralized Information Management System for Nigeria.
Then I would like to start up my own ice-cream shop smiley more like a dream than a future career plan I know.

Vo: Who would be sponsoring you?
Me; My Dad and I also have savings for myself (tho I won’t be going with my bank statement)

Vo: what does he do?
Me: He is a Public relation manager at Daewoo Engineering and Construction Nigeria, and then he also has a business in which he sells Palm oil, Fishes and Chicken in bulk.


Omo I didnt know it would be this long , choi God help me

Your Major reason for choosing UMD is asynchronous to your course of study. Wait a minute! Are you going for Info Tech or Auto Tech?

Bros, you need to edit the part of your transcript that exposes your planned lies here. This faceless forum is not completely faceless. Let's use our wits even as we seek for assistance here.

Work on the highlighted areas. I feel you have a great script.grin

NefT:
Visa approved on saturday after two denials last year. It can only be God after seeking his face this time around. I am not a devout religious person per say. But with this approval I knew God still interfere in the affairs of man. I said I do not want too many questions and AP; I got just that after fasting and prayer. I decided to humble myself before God and seek for his forgiveness and mercy.
I will be posting my transcript later.
I saw the african american VO on red dress; I pitied the people in that queue, all the five persons I saw her interviewed were denied including a guy that does all the explanation. She does ask a lot of questions, you have to 'wow' her with your response to get her approval. She does one thing for sure, allowing you to tell all lines and stories then give you baba blue at the end. I noticed a particular question she kept asking a lot of people but was not answered appropriately. She asked: "what are some of the courses you will be taking and how would they help you achieve your career goal"
I will advice anyone to be prepared and not talk too much, just go straight to the point with apt responses. I will stll say this whether you agree with me or not, the white folks in most cases are nice people as compared to the black americans. Of course blacks do approve but when compared to the white, their approval/denial ratio is infinitesimal.

This sounds funny. Thanks for sharing this. I hope others will learn from it.

@those going for interview, know your courses off hand and what those courses/studies will do for you. When they ask question about your courses with regard to your career goal,

1) Don't waste that time on comparing between education in Nigeria and U.S.... what I use know about interviews is you don't pull down one to glorify the other, even if one is great and the other is an obvious crap.

2) Stop saying it will make you get jobs/competitive anywhere in the world. This is contradictory to your claim that you're coming back to work in Nigeria.

These are all known facts, so wasting time to lecture the VO about the known facts won't help your case.

Say something like how you can channel your acquired skills and training to your community. Say how those courses will broaden your knowledge of the field, benefit you, make you versatile and prepare you to take on any tasks professional field thrown at you. If you are upgrading your career, for example, a bachelors in biology going for master's in biology, you could state what the upgrade means to you and how taking those courses in the U.S would help your personal and professional development.

Try prepare well and be smart because this Afro-American lady will soon interview you.... Yes, you!

I am going for Information Systems and Technology I wrote to UMD asking if i could apply Automobile Engineering but they made me understand that I would need to have an Engineering Background(but my BSc is Information Technology) to apply to that field. But I have had series of online and classroom trainings during the period of my Job and with the internship opportunities at UMD I am pretty sure I would have a feel of the auto industry (FoMoCo) during the period of my degree.
