Good Morning Great People,

I would like everyone to help me go over my proposed transcript as i prepare for my interview

Masters: Business Administration
School: Lincoln University Oaklanf carlifonia Note: Kindly help me go through and pin point errors, correction. And also this might be little long.

VO- Good morning
Me- Good morning sir, how was your night
VO- why are you going to the US?
Me- I am going to the US for my master's in business Admistration at Lincon University oakland California.
VO- How many universities did you apply to?
Me - 3 universities, which are Lincoln University Oakland California, Bridgeport university connecticut, and Valpariaso University Indiana.
VO- How many gave yoy an admission?
Me - Lincoln University and Bridgeport university. VO - Why Lincoln University?
Me - I carried out an extensive research using the graduate research site, Us news and Lincoln University was one of the schools that interest me, because of an ongoing research on trade policy by proffessor Anokhin, titles how trade policy can support poverty reduction and economic growth in developing nation with a case study on African and Asian Economy.However the lincoln university also offered me an admission into business administration with a minor in international business and about 40% of the courses involved are economics.
VO- what is the research about?
Me- basically the research is about how rapid and sustained growth can reduce poverty in developing countries just as the case of Nigeria. A typical estimate carried out across cross countries shows that a 10% increase in countries average income will reduce pocerty by 20 to 30%.
VO- Why not economics course
Me- Well the international business course gives room for flexibility and has the comibination of both business and Economics courses.
VO- what will international Business do for you?
Me- Firstly, a course in international business will help me posses a degree as an economist Analyst. And it will also increase my chances of joing the central bank of nigeria under the department of strategic management.it will also help me have a career path as a consultant after i must have gather the needed experience so as to be consulting for the state government, federal govt on economic related issues.
VO- who is sponsoring you?
Me- My mom
VO- what does your mom do?
Me- my mom is a business woman. Who deals in buying and selling of fabrics as a wholesaler, she has quite numbers of stores at Lagos Island and also in the area of sagamu where she resides.
VO'- Are you married?
Me - No i am not, but i am engaged with my fiance here in Nigeria and we should be getting married when i return after the completion of my program.
VO- Have you ever travelled out Nigeria
Me- No i have not have a reason too.

All Guru's in the house,here is my proposed transcript, please help figure out every area of correction and do as many critics as possible.

Thanks in anticipation as you take out your time to do this.

Boss this school look like one of those red flag schools
Only 500 students for both UG and PG.....the best advice is to try and change the school.

See the message I got below:

Your application for admission and corresponding material have been sent to the appropriate academic department for consideration. As departmental admission processes vary, we cannot give you an exact time frame when a decision will be made. However, you will be notified by email, followed by a formal letter through the postal service, as soon as we know the department's decision.

I am still waiting ooo. God please help me.


Yes, I got same reply on the 23rd of Dec 2020 and by 31 Jan 2021, I got acceptance letter from the University.

Hello house, has anyone here experience this?
I tried paying my application fee of $95 with my GT BANK Naira Debit Mastercard which has funds in it of over 50k. But the platform responded that the payment was declined. I've been to Gt bank to complain they said unless I open a dollar account, that any transaction over $100 on my Naira Debit Mastercard won't go through except its less than $100.
Please is there any other method I can make use just to pay this application fee as it is quite urgent. Thank you very much for your help.

Please my profile is CGPA - 4.09/5.0, IELTS -7.5, GRE - Quant (146) Verbal (151) overall (297). My undergraduate major is in Mechanical Engineering. Please who schools can be suggested to me where I can get funding. Please help me. Thanks

Good CGPA I must say for an engineering course, however, engineering is always a competitive program and the stakes are always higher. That being established, you have two options; apply now with your current scores and hope the odds favor you, or secondly, go with the popular advice of retaking your standardized exams and thoroughly acing them. (this is a safe route).

Apparently, people with lower GRE scores have been funded - as the admissions and funding process is a holistic one and not a monolithic approach. So don't fret too much, look out for the Texas variants schools (Texas Tech University, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, UT-San Antonio, UT-Austin), Baylor University, Montana state university, University of Delaware, University of Wyoming, Clarkson University, Case western reserve university. Apply early! You can get an RA position even without a GRE that's why it's always important to mail professors in your department and sell yourself properly.

I wish you well!

Just say 'no'. No need bringing the fiance into this unless you are asked. It looks like you are trying too hard to create a home tie.

Starts with Google. You must learn the skill of using available tool for personal research while you're still in Nigeria. Use the following search string for the schools you want:

1. Affordable Universities and Colleges in the U.S for Computer Science
2. U.S Universities with Scholarship for computer Science
3. U.S schools without SAT for computer science.


The more creative you are, the better and faster for result.
Make sure you select the schools you want based on your academic profile and sponsor's financial budget.
All the best!
morning sir please sir America has lots of schools for sure
How do you advice one who is in search of a good ,affordable school with a good location

Where should I narrow the search too if you understand what I mean
Best regards

Focus on states in the South, where living expenses are affordable. Then if you have the energy to explore the schools there, you can check states in the Midwest.
