Thanks.

laboldkid:
Very good, however you won't be asked all this questions - don't try to cram this, you won't sound natural. Smile, relax and have a conversation with the VO and you'll be just fine.

Thanks a lot will do just that

Olalekank:
Most of the questions here won't be asked biko
You should focus on other stuff
While defending your switch from Env to CS, try nailing the point instantly, VOs can cut you short and if you're not able to pass your point across, might not so nice

On my Ds-160 I filled I will be staying in the USA for 5 years, 4 years for my program and a year for my masters. But someone told me I supposed to put 4 years, but then I have submitted my Ds-160 form online. House please will that 5 years I put on the Ds-160 have any negative effect during my interview? Can the VO sight the 5 years during my interview?

Thanks.

No problem.

Please fams, I have a friend that holds an HND degree and wants to do WES Evaluation, will she evaluate her WAEC too? Or is it only her OND and HND Transcripts that she will evaluate?

I've gone through their site but I couldn't get the information there

Thank you

After sending official ND and HND, your friend will need to send official waec result via waec head office in yaba to Wes

They don't say if the waec is going to be evaluated, they only state that it will be sent before they will begin the transcript evaluation.... I

Just ND and HND would do unless the school asks you to evaluate high school transcript.

Ok thanks. But can I take one of my guardian’s bank statement as my sponsor?

I don't see why not although parents are generally preferred as sponsors. Take a notarized letter of sponsorship from the person.

ME- I first came across DU in a group I follow on LinkedIn called Students of LinkedIn. I did an extensive research on the school and I also checked reviews and ranking, it was given an average rating of 4 stars on all platforms I researched on. It is also ranked as 96th in National Universities and 58th in best value schools and I was convinced that it will be a perfect school for my graduate studies.

V.O- Why are you not pursing your Master degree in Nigeria
ME- An academic experience from the US is highly valuable around the world. Also, US universities offer excellent research opportunities. On top of that, having global exposure tremendously helps to advance my career. The American education system has been deemed the best amongst all others and I be believe their programs are well structured for my field.

V.O- How many schools did you apply to?
ME- I applied to four schools

V.O-Namely?
ME- Purdue University, Regis University, University of Vermont and University of Denver

V.O- Why did you choose the school?
ME- I applied to DU because they offer a concentration in software design and programming which is in line with my career goals. There are a lot of similarities between both schools but the most distinguishing difference is their educational approach which is learning by doing. Students take part in small focused classes, where they improve understanding through conversations that draw from the vast range of experiences on a subject matter. I would to love to adopt and apply this collaborative approach in my field after graduation.

V.O- What are the courses you will be taking?
Core Courses
1. ICT Business Foundations
2. ICT Technical Foundations
3. Enterprise Architecture
4. Capstone Project or Seminar

4. Web Development with Ruby on Rails

V.O- What are your core courses and how are they related to your field of interest?
ME-
1. ICT Business Foundations: This course will provide an overview of the relationship between business needs and ICT solutions. This problem will equip me with skill required to define a problem, establish a business, perform appropriate research, propose and analyze alternative solutions, identify decision criteria and make recommendations based on considerations as benefits.
2. ICT Technical Foundations: This course will provide a substantive review of the technology at the core of the ICT industry, coverage includes hardware, network technology, databases, information services, applications and content in enterprise contexts.

V.O- Why are you switching from Environmental Management to Software Engineering?
M.E- While I was pursuing my bachelor’s degree I joined a coding bootcamp where I learnt software programming. It really fascinated me because I was able to write a piece of code to instruct the computer to do something for me. In the bootcamp I was giving a project to work on. It was called Store Manager. The Store Manager is a web application that helps store owners manage sales and product inventory. The project exposed me to the art of coding. Through this project I learnt project management with Pivotal Tracker, Version control with GIT, front end development, setting up test framework, creating API endpoints, Database Integration(using PostgreSQL) and adding authentication with JSON Web Token. I was so intrigued with my ability to build an application from scratch and ever since I have been learning new technologies. Sometimes it's overwhelming, but it's always satisfying to see your ideals or work come to life through codes. It's magical. I am looking forward to adding more value to myself by acquiring a Master’s degree in Information Technology

V.O- how long will you be in the US?
ME- 24 Months.

V.O- What is your research interest?
ME- My research interest is Algorithm Design

V.O- Why did you choose this course?

I plan to work for maximum of 5 years in this position while setting a stage to running my own IT Company where I’d be dealing with creation of new Generation secure and dependable enterprise systems to power most businesses in Nigeria while offering employment opportunities to Nigerians who want to make career in the field. I believe my program will help me achieve this goal.

This is perhaps d most complete proposed transcript I have seen, I don't even know where to start. You need to cut off a lot of fat. Take out d school ranking, it's rather "poor." Find rankings related to graduate programs in ICT, your school will fair much better. Not sure how to do this without pen n paper. How many admits do you have?

You need to strike early in the interview, u will get cut off before u have d opportunity to table your very impressive points. Keywords like d Professors' names, python n all, edx boot camp n related things should show up early.

Lolllllll
I actually don’t have one� do u?

Brown2Green:
Lol
I mean before the interview.
Or what do you call such?

ProYouWebsiteUK:
OK. Thank you. Does the process take much time?

It depends on when your friend school send the transcript and reply the verification mail from wes, waec took three weeks to deliver theirs.

ProYouWebsiteUK:

Walahitalahi,WES can take a whole year but everything depends on that "verification process".

Abdulrahmon68:
Do you mean WES can be sluggish like a snail ba? . I mean dey no dey gbe body at all? . won ma n pelorie

No, WES is not slow - it all depends on your school in Nigeria to verify your documents.

It is not compulsory to use WES you know..
ECE is very good as they don't require all those.
WES is my best because it boosts GPA else , the process can be frustrating.

Is ECE acceptable by all schools too? Hope it is not only few schools that accept it?

That's where lots of people miss it.
WES and ECE are all under the ICES.. International Credential Evaluation Services..

Look up on the school's website and you'll see WES or any evaluation under the ICES.

You can confirm it from the website or better still, mail the graduate school.

So as well, visit the ECE website .

Good morning House,
With regards to getting a sponsor's bank statement, do I need to consider TRIBE?

Munix:
Good morning House,
, do I need to consider TRIBE?

Una don come again .

Don't expect to get any response to this question.
You don't come on a platform viewed by even the VO and start asking this type of question.
