Please I am in the process of applying for a Masters program in the US. The problem is getting recommendation letters. I graduated 4 years ago and I am not close to my school. What should I do

Most references are done online and so all you need confirm is that they are willing to write you a reference letter and include their emails in the reference spot on your application.

House please am in a mess, I need help urgently, my interview holds on the 4th of September and I filled in my dad as my sponsor now the money he is supposed to use in supposing me he has used it to buy goods(car spear parts), I don't know what to do, I definitely can't go to the embassy with an empty account, please I need advice urgently. Thanks to you all.

If your dad had to use the money to make purchases, then get his account statement which ends a day before he made the withdrawal/purchase which should still reflect that there's money in his account. You're allowed to bring a statement of account within the last 6 months. I believe that should work hoping that you're not placed on AP and the account has to be checked.

Hello everyone, is anyone attending WVU? I ve some questions about their application process, do they allow scanned transcripts (signed n stamped, sent from my mail) for admissions consideration with the intent to send the official one when given admission.

Ur delivery was poor. U need to do a lot of work and mock interviews with real peeps looking at you eye to eye and asking u same question in different forms. And know what's involved about ur course very well and the opportunities u have with studying computer engineering. Good luck next time. Refire!

Hello NL family,I guess it is time to upload my transcript,my visa wasn't approved on aug 24th. It was my first trial,date was initially on aug 15,2018 but was rescheduled to aug 24th. It was a cold n rainy morning. All aug 14,15,16,17,18,20,23,and 24th applicants were scheduled together to 24th,all 7am,7:30am,and 8am applicants were joined together. Queue was like that of judgement day queue....the one we usually see on jehovah witness books of people going to hell. My time was 7am and I came before that(abuja).
Was interviewed by a nice white guy in his mid-thirties or later than that at window 10. After praying silently not to be interviewed by a mean white skinny woman at window 6. I escaped her though.
Vo smiled and gave me a thumbs up to come quickly,I smiled back and came.
Vo: good mnin,you hear english right?
Me: yes,sure(surprised)
Vo: pass me ur documents(I did)
Vo: so you are going for an F1 visa?
Me:Yes
Vo:so.....where is the sch?
Me: st. Cloud(waited for a sec wondering if he meant state or city)
Vo: No,I mean state.
Me:minnesota
Vo: what are some of the courses you would be taking?
Me:physics,gen.Engr,maths,statistics,chemistry...basic chemistry(was chemistry really there).
Vosadnot bothered)so this sch is a 2 yr sch,right?
Me:no,4yrs....(see this mumu o,u wan fall me)
Vo: He asked again
Me: 4 yrs(i repeated)
Vo: sowhat does your sponsor do?
Me: he is a professional lawyer who owns a law firm...beside that,he has acres of lands in two diff locations he leases out to commercial farmers...he gets a lot of income from these(both law firm n these)
Vo:what percentage of your tuition will he be covering approximately cos ur sch fees is 29,00usd.
Me: about 60-70%
Vo: how much does ur statement read in usd?
Me: about 55,000usd
Vo: can you approximate how much he earns...like monthly?
Me: i cant be specific but I can assure you it runs into millions
vo: so u said u would be taking statistics,physics n basic chemistry in program?
Me: Yes(guy physics n statistics d dia bt chemistry got me confused)
Vo: why this course?
Mesadwaited for like a second for my memory to download)....I have this plan of setting up an ict firm somewhere in lagos or my state after my program... So with this course.....(he cut me short)
Vo: why the sch?
Me:[still recovering from all the abrupt cut n join interview....the guy no d wait make u hit am] as an ..*ABET*( I corrected and expanded the meaning),the engineering curricula at st.Cloud is so standardized at bachelors level and it ensures students(he cut me short again saying ok)
Vo: thank you....u can have your passport,nice time(put the pink paper in my passport,kept a kind of sorry face...like u almost made it).
Me: but where did I go......

Hello all,
I have never applied nor had an interview but will have my first next month (I know I’m probably not in the position to talk) and would soon been following this thread from part 1 and just an observation and what I have noticed is this:

1. Research: I noticed most people that had their success stories did plenty research on the school, the course, the university and the city. It is important to do all necessary research, that way you can build your confidence in such a way that you’re sure you know more about what you want to do than the interviewer.

2. Inspiration: This is what I have noticed the most, especially with Nigerian graduates, most of us don’t like what we studied and want to further the course (which is no problem) but if you cannot be inspired by what you want to study, then how do you want to convince someone how important what you want to study is to your life, and how do you want to impact your country upon return.
You have to act the part, throw some lingua here and there, make the interviewer enjoy biological sciences or ICT even though it’s boring. Just talk about it like you’re so excited to go and explore.

3. Confidence: Without confidence, No 1 and No 2 won’t work, with your research, endeavour to be confident about yourself, they may deny you but give them your very best. Be confident in the way you talk and the way you look. Let him/her know you’re going to be an asset to the school you’re going to.

4. Courtesy: Trust me, courtesy gives you confidence and the interviewer can sense it, “thank you ma’am” “I’m fine, thank you and you?” Also if you don’t know how to talk with proper diction, I propose you learn it.

5. Documents: We all know the documents that are vital for these interviews, arrange them properly, the supporting documents also.
I have worked overtime and know if you’ve worked with bosses that know their stuff you will always be prepared, everything needed to block questions, please bring it and don’t be scared to show them even if they just want to know. Show them. Block all the loopholes for denial, prepare like your life depends on it, because your life depends on it.

Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk. I wish everyone good luck in this and hope we all succeed when next we share our transcripts.

Your first two response to the interview proper was a total turn off.
Where is your school is different from which school are you going to...
Secondly, you flopped when he asked you about the courses you will be taking. Your response was very poor and didn't show you are a genuine student. Physics, Chemistry and Statistics are not the courses you are going to take. Assuming you are going for Computer Science, Talk about Programming Languages, Internet Security, Database Management and Computer graphics as the courses you will offer.
When he asked why this course, talk about your career plan and how the course will be advantageous to you, above all maintain ties to your country at this point.
When he ask why the school, talk about your research plan or area of specialization, affordable tuition, scholarship (if applicable) and maybe the curriculum of the university. What makes the school unique to you. Talking about ABET doesn't make the school unique to you almost all American universities are accredited.

No need to worry yourself start checking flight details. They just need to verify if the account is genuine as you submitted it. You are fine

I suggest you call the graduate school (I'm assuming you're a prospective Grad student). When I applied for Fall 2018, scanned transcript wasn't allowed. I was required to send my official transcript (directly by the school). All the best!

Hello Friends,

My brother got a fellowship which is accompained with a fully funded scholarship for a master's programme.

After series of discussions, the VO mentioned that the 1-20 carried personal funds, which he clarifed that the organization would be responsible for paying that to the school and handed the Organization's Statement of account to the VO, who gave him a white paper placing his status on Administrative Processing.

What should he do as school resumes on the 26th? He mentioned that the VO also said school resumed on the 26th hence he will hear from them.

Any advice friends?

N/B: He wasn't asked so much.

Why are you going to the U.S., Which univeristy, what would you be studying?, What courses would hou be taking?, who is funding it?, Any supporting document?, school resumes on the 26th you would hear from us within 7 days.

All the questions, he answered.

Has he heard form them?

Hi Guys,
I want to open a domiciliary account and wanted to get a sense of what the charges are like.

I have visited GTB and UBA and got the following information;

GTB
- Card 1,000 naira
- Annual card maintenance fee $20 (only if you have a card for your domiciliary account)
- Every withdrawal (irrespective of the amount being withdrawn) attracts a charge of $3.5
- Daily withdrawal limit of $1,000

UBA
- Card $10
- Withdrawal charge is 0.0005% of the amount withdrawn
- Annual maintenance fee $21 (only if you have a card for your domiciliary account)
- No daily withdrawal limit

So I want to know how dom accounts work for other banks, just so I know what bank offers the best deal.
