Yeah I got the admission no funding though, am preparing for my interview as am yet to receive my I20

fairheart:
Yes, it is helpful! Thank you! So, did you get the admission? Any scholarship and when is your interview? If you need any help regarding preparing for the interview, you can PM me. If you've gotten your visa, I wish you the best American can offer!

Lol I noticed same thing on mine, it wasn’t a mistake, check the year u retook it, it will also b recorded but as “C” that’s how Uniben transcript is interpreted

Sammiel:
I have got a problem with my Uniben transcript that got sent to me recently. A 200 level carryover course I borrowed from another department which I retook and had a C in was recorded as an F for me in my transcript. I don't even understand what is wrong with these people. Despite knowing fully well that no one graduates with an F in a core course in the University of Benin, someone still went ahead to enter an F for me in my transcript.
My elder sister in the US was telling me that I needed to correct it because of the possible implications but I honestly don't know where to start from because this transcript took over nine months and cost me so much resources and lots of headaches as I had to deal with two different departments since I was a transfer student.
I will like to read from whoever has a clue on what I should do to sort it out.
The CGPA is okay except for the unwarranted F grade.

Thank you so much to all the people that reached out to me and helped prepare me well for my interview....God bless you all.

Hi guys, please I'm trying to reschedule my interview but don't think I can. The pic attached is what my dashboard is like and there is no link to reschedule.

Please how do I get to do this?

4gunners:
This is my prepared transcript. I need your observations and suggestions..

V.O - Where are you going?
Me – I’m going to US for my Masters in Civil Engineering with concentration in Structural Engineering at University of South Florida
V.O - Why are you going for MSc in Civil Engineering?
Me – I really want to become an expert in structural engineering. Having studied Civil engineering in my undergraduate studies, we were exposed just to all the branches of civil engineering but not indepth. Msc in civil engineering will give me advance knowledge in my area specialization which is structural engineering.
V.O – Why masters in U.S and not in Nigeria?
Me – Masters in U.S will not only avail me the opportunity to have sound mix of practical and theoretical knowledge but will also enable me to have international exposure which will give me a competitive edge towards working with multinational oil companies like shell, Exxonmobile
V.O – How many schools did you apply to and how many admit?
Me – 4. I got admit in Michigan Tech Houghton, University of Arkansas - Fayetteville, USF - Tampa and UNH- West Haven Connecticut. But reject from UW seattle and WSU - pullman
V.O - How did you get to know about these schools?
Me – I made use of online portal like thegradcafe, msinus.com, and google to look at schools that matched my profile. I looked at the research interest of the faculty members in my program at the schools and use that to streamline the schools I applied to.
V.O – Why USF?
Me – I chose USF over others because of three major reasons: 1. The weather in Tampa FL is tropical which would be very easy for me to adjust to 2. I’ve been interacting with Prof. Qing who is keen on accepting me to the Green lab where I will researching on greener alternatives to cement- a very important material in the construction industry. This will be a sort of continuation of my undergraduate project, which makes the decision to choose USF easier for me 3. My dept has corrosion laboratory which is one of the very few in US, which will help to determine the durability of greener cement I’ll be working on.
V.O – What are your study plans
Me – I have to complete a total minimum of 30 credit hours which consist of 24 credit hours of coursework and 6 credit hours of thesis. I’ll be taken courses like advanced concrete design, prestressed concrete, advanced structural mechanics, structural dynamics, advanced finite element
V.O – What year did you graduate and what have you been doing since then?
Me – I graduated in Septemeber, 2017. I did my National youth service between November 2017 and Novemebr 2019. I started working in Granny ventures Limited as Facilitity Engineer from January 20019 till this moment.
V.O – Who will be sponsoring your trip?
Me - My uncle
V.O – What does he do?
Me – He is a senior officer in judiciary
V.O – Why does he want to sponsor you
Me – He has always been impressed with my academic performance right from my secondary school days and promised to finance my graduate studies if I could do well in my undergraduate studies, which I did.
V.O – What will this degree do for you.
Me –Upon graduation and completion of my Masters program, I will be highly proficient and skilled in the advanced analysis and design of structures under both conventional and unconventional load which will give me leverage in the oil and gas sector as oil companies like shell and Exxon mobil are continually seeking structural engineering for the design and maintenance of their platforms. On the longer term, I will like to start my own consulting firm, which will focus on providing engineering consulting services in the oil and gas industry.
V.O – I’ll be approving you visa
Me – Thanks.

Cc: fairheart lagosismyhome. I need input of everyone.
