Na chinko n fine girl gave us Visa ooooo

Exactly what happened to me and I was wondering why the safe school of all school denied.... I couldn't help but laugh and move on

joeluv:
For me the first school I applied to was a top school and I was admitted. Then I applied to a safe school with the hope of getting better funding. The so called safe school did not even give me admission talk more of funding Safe schools are not that safe, so to me if you have an ok profile apply to both top and safe schools.

Sorry for your loss, Accept my condolences then Congrat man,,.,,,...Keep representing.

Simon21:
Hello everyone, its been a while i posted here, its not been easy. I thank God for a successful semester that has just ended. It has been a bitter sweet feeling for me this semester. The worst happened to me, i lost my dad, i was emotionally devastated but God was able to see me through. I was still able to pull a 4.0 gpa cause God had my back and i know He will never abandon his son. I wish you all success in your ambitions and endevours.

surg411:
Hello everyone. Im not very active on this thread.However i took ample time to study all the manuscripts. My visa got approved today to the glory of God. It can only be God. Thank you Nairaland.

V.O : so, why New England College

Me: the school is ranked by world report and USnews.com as best regional school in the north as far as my course is concerned. Also the school has a track record tailored to what i want to study. Student faculty ratio is 19:1. It has seasoned professionals both on field and in research, the like of Dr. Lori Koziol who is an outstanding scholar in the field of translational bioinformatics( v.o cuts in)

V.O : When did you finish university

Me: in 2013

V.O : What have you been doing since then.

Me: After NYSC, i have been working as a medical officer at the federal medical center Lagos, where i treat general medical cases. I manage uncomplicated medical emergencies in all age groups. I also administer and monitor vaccination in immunization clinic. My work involves keeping tract of vast amounts of data recorded manually hence my choice of course..(cuts in).

V.O : I will be approving your visa.( hands me white paper and circles pickup address)bla bla...

I went blank and didn't hear the rest of all what he was saying.

Advice- be audible, coherent in speech and confident. Maintain a genial eye contact and speak fluently( without faking any accent).

Congratulations

VO : so what are the schools department's learning goals ?

Me :I said the same thing ..I will have the ability to do sociological research ,the ability to think clearly and independently ..the ability to contribute solutions to difficult social problems facing my country ..

VO : he asked the department's learning goals in a different way (i don't recall how he put it )

Me:I said the same thing ...I will have the ability to do sociological research ,the ability to think clearly and independently ..the ability to contribute solutions to difficult social problems facing my country ..

VO : tell me the courses you will be taking ?

Me :I listed them ...psychology ,Math ,Biology ,political science ,economics etc ..

Why dribbling backward like Nigerian premier league players

Use chrome or Mozilla, safari, opera and IE usually have issues.
Best of luck!

Capitas7:
Good morning everyone. Congratulations to all who got their visa approved recently.

I need some help. I have been filling my DS160 form for about 2 days, and it is not proceeding beyond the work and education history. It keeps returning me to the home page after filling in all the information on that page. My question is: what browser is not capable? I use safari, chrome, opera browsers on laptop and tab. I saw the browser requirements on the homepage, but my internet explorer is not doing the job either.

Please help

Walspring:
What is true and possible if i may ask?

Do you mean its true and possible for a school/department to process results for courses that was not registered in a semester on the course form ? because i am yet to see such schools in my country and the whole world

I experienced a course that was registered but later didn't reflect on transcript at all.

RexCheeng:
Prospective grad students can access the spreadsheet. The link was posted in the last paragraph. That's the basis of the whole thing.

I guess it will be a welcome development sp far prospective student will have access to the information so as to help them.

When I booked mine, there were enough date in July.
May be you should check later or get use to the system better

segunojo866:
I need help. They is no single appointment date for july. Is anyone facing this problem.

You can take your IELTS result along incase if yoour are ask to present your results. And try and get a stronger point, work experience that u don't know of for now.... Just get another one and then u can add this to it PROVIDED there is time...

omoluabiguy:
I can guarantee you won't even say half of this before the VO cuts in with another question cuz they don't have time and they get bored easily with long stories Lol. Cramming is not the way to go. Just stay prepared to avoid being thrown off balance with an unexpected question. All the best bro

asiwaju87:
Hello guys,

Please I need your advice and/or help on the best research topic I can choose between these three....

I was my denied sorry delayed my visa on Friday and the agbaawos of nairaland advise that I should reload. So I want to package my story with a professor research topic ongoing in the school based on my course of study BUSINESS AND MANAGERIAL ECONOMICS .

Also if anyone know of any professor in etsu, please help

The research topics below;

1. Managerial economic analysis of operating a retail store in a city core versus in an outlaying area

2. Why is downsizing not resulting in wage increase to remaining employees?

3. Citizens with disabilities act and it's managerial effect in Business

Don't be pained sis, slimmy2005 should be a nice person but just catching fun here. I have not met him b4 not even pm him. But I remember his days with zeezahbee too... Where that girl self? and Ma you quote the wrong moniker... Good Morning

Bibiakonure:
Funny enough this issue is just miss interpretation of words. I only stated those information not in anyway to deny your information which is true. Indeed getting a GA:TA is not easy but I only said that to explain tho i did not get the GA i got something else. Its not a quarelling stuff, i never insulted you nor say u were lying. I said something innocently and someone is insulting honestly i am pained because this was never my intention of insulting someone

slimmy2005:
Oga get the hell out. You quoted me or are you suffering from glaucoma?

You this boi that just got i20 few days ago, disturbing this thread already chai...

Boss Ma joke I dey ooo.... Make Una lemme out of Una Mata ooo.

You people should wait self, did anyone of you see LagosIsMyHome in Lagos at 50 celebration? I think We need to report her to Oga Akinwunmi Ambode or she change her moniker to @YankeeIsMyHood.....

@lagosismyhome Abeg check that concise version and scold me or yab me wella... No pity me ooo. Use any word so far e no go make justwise ban u

This is the concise version. Guys help fine tune. #Gracias
VO: Why dis you choose UNH,
Me: I choose unh cos it offers CIS with concentration in AI n robotics together with well structured curricula. also has AI n robotics forum where prof, alumni and student share there Findings, issues and solution which I already joined. current research by prof wheeler ruml in "Method for heuristic search and planning especially in robotics" align with my
interest and will help improve my machine decision making n heuristic search for my long term goal of building expert system to diagnose health issues.
