Ok. I dig now . Thanks

dwilliams707:
Lol okay,it’s just the total amount stated on your 1-20 for 9months,Now if given some/any form of assistanship,subtract it from the total,the remaining is the “deficit”..hope it helps.

OK thanks sir. What do you suggest I do? the first visa application wasn't done by me. It was one stupid agent that did rubbish.
Is there any correction that could be done?

Also the school didn't require Gmat result since I was able to provide a proficiency certification from my school.
Feel free to advice me on what to do. Thanks

marcDgreat:
Was curious as to why your interview was so short and immediately went through your page and it is obvious that your denial was due to several mistakes that you made filling your first ds160 and also in your first visa interview which was not coherent the previous VO noted some issues and i think the recent VO saw and decided to refuse you. sorry but you were not prepared enough and your story was inconsistent in your first interview which has been noted in their system. All the new VO had to do was read through the previous of notes of why you were previously denied and deemed you an immigration risk leading to the denial. Also your going for an MBA without writing GMAT that is a not a very good sign, and rarely will a ranked MBA/ Business school will consider your application without GMAT. Do enough due diligence and research don't just apply because VO's know how the american education system works.But still Goodluck whatever u intend to do next.

Yes Westcliff University. Did you take any test like dem GMAT? Because during my application it wasn't required

Milnes:
please is it westcliff uni, irvine California?
Reply asap, i have my interview tomorrow.

You have a great profile, try retaking the GRE and target direct PhD programs

Hello wonderful people.

I'm back again o from part 14

https://www.nairaland.com/4672093/general-u.s.a-student-visa-enquiries-part/316

[b]Wow wow wow!!!
I'm so glad to jam this forum this morning in my despiration and in Yoruba (Nigeria ti su mi) meaning I'm tired of Nigeria.
I saw the previous parts (or should I say seasons smiley ).

Please, I know my questions might not resonate with the current flow of issue on this platform but try and help a brother build hope again and provide guidance. God help us all.

I graduated from FUNAAB 2017
BSc Chemistry, CGPA 4.47/5.0
Finished NYSC 2018

I do Have a resilient passion for MSc in Chemical and Process Engineering and if not together, only Chemical Engr will do in the U.S. (BSc Chemistry is eligible for MSc Chemical Engr ), Due to my no sponsor at all situation, I would need a concrete assistanship over there and I go survive somehow. I know you guys understands the step by step strategies of abroad schooling. Abeg help your brother angry

Since July 2018, job job job, ( to gather money for GRE and TOEFL cause people say it is needed) but No!!! All my country industry want is a Chemical Engr... Most of them... And I wouldn't let go of the Industry, it's my dream to be a Chemist for industries, proceed to being a process and R&grin person, formulations and Co. And the Engineering part will cover up for BSc Chemistry weaknesses

I have made up my mind to gather the money for those exams by God's grace.

So friends, as u can see I need a thorough foundational knowledge on MSc in the US. I've got to further. And I'm 25 will be +1 this June. Time is running.
The best give u can impart to me now is Knowledge... It will *MAKE* me

THANK YOU FRIENDS....
WILL BE ANTICIPATING YOUR HELP...
GOD BLESS YOU!!![/b]

I have taken GRE test.
I had 297
I plan on taking another but will be as soon as I get the test fee (Sept-Oct-Nov)
I am settling fully for msc/phd Med Chem (I give up on Chem Engr since I can't get full funding anyways, because engineering funding is not for this kind of GRE package)

Please, advice me if I can still move on with application based on this result, which school would most likely grant full funding and what are my chances?

I'll appreciate your advice.
Thanks...

Please, what is this smiley supposed to mean?

Why US?
Your response is kinda flat. Yes we know degrees awarded by US institutions are greatly recognised but so are Canada and UK institutions and you'd also be able to achieve your "career goals". So what's really so special about US to YOU? You get that answer, 2-3 sentences and you move on with your life
Why WKU
You need to prioritise and personalize, the information you are passing. Your transcript is just turnioniown
"Asides WKU’s various accreditations and recognition, wku is known for its teaching excellence, wku offers a curriculum where I get to acquire community experience which would help me translate knowledge gained in the classroom to real life experiences, gaining both theoretical and practical knowledge"
You can get those in any good school, it certainly doesn't explain why you chose WKU at all. You can even get those in UNN, UniCAL, UNIBEN e.t.c, there's nothing special about those
"Asides been offered $1602 in scholarship, the ongoing research by Professor Gretchen who is my advisor and would be working closely with interests me as it aligns with my career goals, it focuses on the analysis of workplace health promotion of small, rural workplace"
Okay this is neither too good nor too bad but you need to apply powder and brighten up the face
Is that $1602 or $16002. If it's 1602, it doesn't sound impressive and the goal is to never ever release unimpressive information, keep it to yourself! Thank you.
So as it stands now, an ongoing research is the only "strong" reason. But you didn't talk about the research properly, it's kinda confusing.
Please, you need to go back and do some research, find out other amazing features about your school or the program, something that really stirs you, that when you talk about it, the VO will see sparks in your eyes. Glory glory glory
Why MPH?
Your reasons for this degree are not quite clear, you are saying so much and making little impact. The goal is to make a good impression in as many powerful sentences as necessary. Tell me, what exactly will this degree do for you? Will it qualify you for a promotion, a salary raise, a new job, will it give you an edge over other contenders in your sphere? Is there a particular position you are targeting? Write it, be specific with details.
Tell me SPECIFICALLY, what can you bring to the table after this degree, no don't give me a generic "medicopolitical" manifesto, what can you achieve with this degree but you haven't achieved now, where do you see yourself in the next 2-3 years and what exactly would you be doing differently if you had this degree?
Me =VO by the way
Please put yourself first, improving the Nigerian health sector isn't the reason your uncle will spend about $60K and you know it!
Think, think and get those personal answers and flesh them out in clear cut sentences. I pray you understand what I am showing you
Ehen, "rounded that up in april 2018", you didn't round up anything ooo, you "rounded off". They are two different things and a graduate shouldn't confuse them. You are welcome sir
Ok, so you are not leaving your job? You will come back? Do you have a study leave that you can show the VO or any evidence?
"I am going to equip myself to be able to take up more challenging roles and carry out my duties better"
What challenging roles exactly, you have to be specific and avoid ambiguity. Hold on, you are contradicting yourself. This degree is not because you want to carry out your present duties better, it's because you want newer, greater and probably more rewarding responsibilities, as you implied earlier. Please be consistent with the information you are passing.
You don't have a relative in the US if you didn't write it in your DS -160.
How did you learn about this sch?
"I also spoke to a friend of mine..."
Is this really necessary? Your INTENSIVE online research as well as mentioning some of the search engines(if need be) is fair enough!
Ehen, I hope you are not going with your uncle's company statement? Go with his personal statement of about 6 months, to show financial credibility.
Okay I am tired, I should stop writing. I wish you all the best and May the force be with you

Good day house
Thank you sharwarma for your review of my proposed transcript. Intensified my research, this is an updated transcript. Please help review. Hopefully I made good progress.
Deficit:$30k(About 11M)for the first ten months
SOA: About 35M
PLEASE ANYBODY WITH ADDITIONAL INFO ON WKU, PLEASE HELP OUT
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
VO: Good morning
Me: good morning ma/sir
Vo: why are you going to the US
Me: for my graduate studies, I’m going to the Western Kentucky University for my masters in public health
Vo: how did you learn about the school
Me: through intensive online research on the Council of Education for Public Health(CEPH) website while searching for accredited MPH programs.
Vo: did you apply to any other schools
Me: yes, 2 others(lists them)
Vo: how many were you admitted in
Me: 2(lists them)
Vo: why MPH?
Me: I aspire to work as a technical officer with the WHO. The MPH is a major requirement for that role and would equip me with the technical skills needed to qualify for that position on my return which would grant me Job security and make me valuable in the labour market on my return.
Vo: why WKU?
ME: WKU provides a well-structured curriculum that aligns with my career goals. It also gives me the opportunity to work with Prof. Gretchen who is my advisor and whose ongoing research aligns with my research interest. it focuses on the analysis of workplace health promotion of small, rural workplace. (I have extra points like: the location which is in a smaller city and would help me focus and the cost been cheaper/affordable).
Vo: what is your study plan?
Me: my program will cover a total of 42 credit hours. Courses will include: Health promotion, research methods, program planning and a thesis project prior to graduation.
Vo: any standard tests
Me: yes, GRE;296
VO: what have you been doing since you left school in 2016
Me: started my mandatory internship programme with Bleep in 2016 for 12months, went for the mandatory NYSC programs for another 12 months in 2017, rounded that off in april 2018 and started working as a pharmacist in july 2018 with Bleep
Vo: who’s funding?
Me: my uncle
Vo: what does he do?
Me: works with Bleep, an oil and gas company involved in gas processing, mud logging services and supports activities of mining, also into sales of automobiles and transportation.
Vo: ever travelled before?
Me: no, never had any reason to
Vo: Any relatives in the us?
Me: no
Still working on the ‘WHY USA?’ question. Don’t want to shoot myself in the foot and also trying to avoid leading answers.
Additional questions prepared for: when does the school resume? What are the duties of a technical officer with the WHO? what are your duties at your current place of work? And my academic experience.

Abdulrahmon68:
Every successful person has a painful story, so never give up. A school bell that sounds as a disturbance at 8:am also sounds interesting at 2:pm... it's just a matter of time..so Don't envy anyone. Not everyone walking fast has an appointment. Some have running stomach!.

..If a rose smells better than tomatoes, It doesn't mean the rose can make a better stew. Don't try to compare yourself to others. You also have your own strength, look for it and build on it. All animals that exist, were in Noah's ark. A snail is one of those animals. If God could wait long enough for snails to enter Noah's ark; His door of grace won't close till you reach your expected position in life. Never look down on yourself, keep looking up. Remember that Broken crayons still color_. Keep on pushing, you never can tell how close you are to your dream.

As fall session is approaching we await more Approval this month. Let's go get the Visa!

Have a great week ahead...

Vamoss!

@sharwama, kindly help scrutinize this pls

PROPOSED TRANSCRIPT

*Where are you going to?*
I'm going to New Mexico State University, Las Cruces to pursue a Masters in Public Health (with special interest in Environmental Health).

*Why the US?*
I chose to study in the US because schools in the US are top class and well known for their world class research facilities. Also, a masters degree from an American University is highly recognized in Nigeria, and thus will give me an edge in the highly competitive Nigerian labor market.

*How did you know about the school?*
Through personal research using online resources such as Google as well as visiting the school website for further information.

*How many schools did u apply to?*
Two - New Mexico State University and Michigan Technological University.

*How many admission did u get?*
Two

*Why this school over MTU?*
NMSU's program aligns more with my interest due to its multidisciplinary approach to analyzing environmental/public health issues as reflected in its course requirements.
Also, the admission from MTU is without funding while NMSU gave me an assistantship which covers the full tuition and part of the living expenses.

*But you have a BSc in Applied Botany?*
Yes... Environmental Botany, more precisely, which required that I take some courses on Environmental Pollution Monitoring. This motivated me to pursue a career in environmental health where I would be able to influence decision-making in the Nigerian environmental sector as it affects public health.

*When did you graduate?*
2017.

*What have you been doing since then?*
I went for the compulsory one year national service which I finished March this year. On my return, I have been working as a research assistant with one of my lecturers during undergraduate studies, Dr Bleep. My role is to carry out environmental audit on Telecommunication Base Station (TBS) sites, in order to access the effect of emissions from each site on the surrounding locality.

*Tell me your study plans*
My program will cover a minimum of 42 credit units in total. Courses will include Environmental Public Health Issues, Biostatistical Applications in Public Health, and Evaluative Approaches in Public Health.

*What will this program do for you/what are your plans after graduation?*
This program will equip me with skills to take up a job as an environmental health specialist and be able to use such skills in analyzing environmental health risks present in Nigeria today such as indoor and outdoor air pollution, waste generation and handling practices, wastewater and effluent generation and disposal, among others.

*Any standardized test?*
Yes. I wrote GRE and TOEFL, scoring 308 and 98 respectively.

*Who is sponsoring you?*
I have an assistantship which covers tuition and some other expenses. The rest is to be taken care of by my maternal uncle, Mr Bleep

*What does he do?*
He works with the Lagos State Bleep Agency where he heads the Bleep unit of Bleep LGA.

*Why would your uncle want to sponsor you?*
He studied abroad, and his experience strengthened his support of my study abroad plans

Close your eyes and let us pray first of all
Lord, please give me the strength to be as kind as possible with my words. Amen
Bold 1: This edge you are talking about is the same edge over 50 applicants at the consulate/embassy daily talk about. People going for PhD will even have more edge over you. So please leave edge out of your response and come up with something better. In my place we say "it will add more feathers to my cap"
It could set you apart from the job-seeking majority, it could embellish or make your resume more attractive or something else. Please I am just showing you how flexible you can be with your choice of words and still convey the intended meaning/information
Bottom line: Avoid popular/ generic/communal lines.
Bold two: Instead of gently "degrading" MTU, why can't you simply say you were fortunate enough to have received an assistantship offer from the department of ----- at NMSU and you couldn't resist or turn it down
Bull's eye, end of story!
Bold three: I spent several minutes trying to reflect on those words and I'm like, so if you have this master's, you will automatically be able to influence decision-making in the environmental sector in Nigeria? Wow! That's unbelievable
So just imagine what you can do if you now bag a PhD. I pray you understand the bolded isn't impressive please. Do you think you can make the entire response better?
Bold 4: It's obvious you are not a research assistant (I stand to be corrected though) it's obvious you feel saying this will appeal to the VO's sense of reasoning, but the reverse could be the case. The VO would know better. If you insist you are a RA, fine! Do your homework properly, so you would be able to give a better response like one.
Bold 5: That can't be your study plan na, please. Shebi you were here two days ago, when I reviewed some transcripts, [b]on one of them, I took time to emphasize study plan coz it's really important. [/b]Please go and do your homework, I am too lazy to repeat myself
Bold 6: Take up a job as an environmental health specialist at where or where exactly please? Okay after analyzing environmental health risks in Nigeria, what next? Who says these risks haven't been extensively analyzed? You need to be more specific and carve a niche for yourself please.
I am sorry, you really have to be more convincing about your post graduation plans, else you'd come across as a potential immigrant or a threat to national security This could be your home tie if you articulate it properly and passionately
Ultimately, you really have to work on your transcript please. I wish you all the best and I am sorry if I hurt your feelings. You were the one pursuing me upandan with your transcript

Location: Lagos Embassy

Status: Denied

PhD Full funding, No deficit

VO was a black guy at window 9.

I was confident and I was one of the first few people in the consulate for 6:30am appointment, he denied the 4 people in front of me and one mind is saying change queue, another is saying don't worry �

Me: Good Morning
VO: Good mornind. Pass me your passport and I20 which I did
VO: I see that you're going to the University of Toledo, why did you chose the university of Toledo?

Me: Cos the department of Chemical Engineering at university of Toledo focuses on sustainability issues relating to the production materials and chemicals from renewable resources, also the research of Prof Bleep on Membrane process Optimization for carbon capture perfectly aligns with my research interest, and I was also awarded Graduate teaching assistantship that fully covers my tuition and living expenses.

VO: how many school did you and apply to and how many admitted you?

Me: I applied to 8 schools (VO cuts in)

VO: How many admitted you?
Me: 4 schools, MTU, university of Missouri, university of Toledo and University of Florida

VO: Have you traveled outside Nigeria before?

Me: Yes, I went on a week vacation to Dubai last year

VO: Sorry you're not qualified at this time ��‍♂

Like dream. Kindly advice on what next to do guys, I have full funding that covers tuition and living expenses, no deficit but excess of 9k more than the estimated average in fact.

Resumption date is August 9th and lecture starts by August 16th. Is it possible to get a date in Abuja before the resumption date ?

That's what have ben thinkn. No matter what some perfect responses, perfect ds160 and transcript with funding will not get it first time.. Everybody can't get it first time. If u got yours first time, be grateful to your head and not become proud or start looking for flaws in everyone transcript or form or interview,...
It's okay to have to try again..
