can you highlight all the processes you went through for me please... Thanks!
Okay basically I got this school through referral from my padiii (Holudarey01).
I wrote GRE, but ETSU Chemistry doesn't require GRE though.
I wrote Toefl(had 90), my UG GPA according to US ranking is 3.68/4.0. I think dz 2 things n God landed me d GA.
I also submitted 4 LOR's instead of 3.

Yes I think so. Check with their Admissions offices. 90% of my classmates then at CALTECH were on full scholarships. They have the money $ billion endowed to them by NASA, US defense, engineering companies, drug companies, e.t.c, to admit and train the best minds around the world.

hello great people, my school said I should register with eshipglobal so that they can pickup my i20 for me but when I inquired about the fee, I saw that eshipglobal charge about $106 which is too much (mehn gbese with dollar naira rise). Please whats the possible cheapest and efficient way to get my i20? Can I just work to fedex/dhl office here in lagos and schedule a pickup? Does it work that way? Please its urgent
My school used FedEx to mail mine, n it cost about $64 n it took 4days to arrive IB. U can mail d intl office to ask if u could CHANGE.

Hello guys. Got my visa approval today at the Lagos consulate, 6.30am batch. My interview was very very short. smiley grin. Met the female V.O in window 3.
Got to the consulate by 5.45am and met a lot of people outside. Joined the queue for the nonimmigrant visas. Got inside and did my biometric verification. Subsequently joined the queue for the V.Os as we waited for them. They eventually arrived at 7.30ish. I was the second person to be interviewed by the V.O. A lot of F1 visas were issued before my turn.
Our conversation was as follows:
VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning ma'am
Asked me to pass her my passport, i20 and sevis receipt which I did

VO: What are you going to the US for ( started typing and glancing through my I 20 intermittently)
Me: I am going to the University of North Texas Health SC for my masters in public health and will be majoring in environmental health (she nodded as she kept typing)
VO: What would you do when you return?
Me: I intend to work for the ministry of health in order to reduce the disease burden in Nigeria. Our country is ranked among the highest with the incidences of diseases of public health significance such as malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/aids.
VO: Where do you work currently?
Me: Told her my current job as a medical officer under the dept of public health.
VO: Who will be sponsoring you?
Me: My mom. Told her my mom's job. Also told her I have some personal savings. (She nodded and kept typing all the while)

VO: Your visa has been approved... Hands me the white paper and my I 20 and sevis receipt.
I thanked her and left.

Honestly I was prepared for a lot more than this. No documents asked. No travel history though I have a schengen visa in my passport. I feel those guys are really eager to issue visas to students.
Thank you so much guys for this thread. I really learnt a lot. And I also think the 6.30 am batch is really good. I had to reschedule from 11 to 6.30am when I saw other people's transcripts. Above all trust and believe God. It's all by His Grace.
Congrats bro, we have almost the same success story. Window 3 all the way.

I wanted to share my transcript when I'm more relaxed but...I can't wait grin

I thought I'd have issues with my DS 160/ appointment page bar codes. I filled out a ds 160 for abj consulate and used the confirmation number to book appointment for lagos. Lol. Anyway, I had it sorted out, ran to walspring and he allayed my fears. Told me everything is fine.

So, I was the first person to arrive the lagos consulate at 5:10am. I didn't enjoy the wait though. One of the security guys told me I look good and that if I could just add a smile to it...so I had it mind to smile even when I didn't feel like it undecided

So after biometrics and all, we waited for the VOs to arrive. I was 3rd in line so I thought I'd be interviewed by the woman in window 3 but nah, God had better plans for me. I and the 1st 2 persons were interviewd at window 7. The chubby white guy.
He approved the 2 people before me. It was then my turn.

VO: so tell me about your programme
PS(PurpleSummer): oh, I'm going for my masters in law. I'd be concentrating on Environmental law.

VO: how did you get to know abt the school?
PS: they sent me a direct email

VO: (looks at me) why would they do that?
PS: (I smiled) they saw my profile on the Law school admission council website so they contacted me and encouraged me to apply

VO: what courses would you be taking in your first semester
PS: I'd be taking courses on Energy Policy and Climate Change, Environmental Advocacy, Natural Resources Law, Toxic Tort (I spelt T-O-R-T for him so he won't think I mean thought. Lol. Vo nodded like...I know it's tort) and International Environmental Law.

VO: what was your undergraduate on?
PS: law

VO: When did you graduate?
PS: 2011

VO: what have you been doing since then?
PS: I attended the nigerian law school for one year, did my NYSC and since then I've been in active legal practice

VO: have you been called to bar?
PS: yes

When?
PS: 2012.

VO: (brings out white paper) I see you chose to collect your passport in portharcourt, (circles an address, handed me both paper, i-20 and sevis fee receipt) you'll need these at the point of entry...blah blah, I said thanks, he thanked me too.
PS: walks out like a boss.

Ps: School is University of Maryland, Baltimore.
Congratulations bae!

This is my success story.
June 8th 6:30am appointment
Visa approved at 7:30am
Got to the embassy @6am, Lotsa pple r already gathered outside (even pple with 7am appointment), we were ushered in for verification, biometrics n queued for abt 45mins b4 interview proper. I was interviewed at Window 3 by a young-old American lady. Everyone (even guys wey dy stuutter) that did d interview b4 me was approved, this gave me confidence that I won't be an exception.
Conversation between VO and I.
VO: Gud morning
Me: Morning madam.
I passed my i20 n passport. *she hardly looked @ d i20 sef b4 approving me.
VO: Why are you going to US?
Me: I want to purse a masters degree in Chemistry with specialization in Environmental Analytical Chemistry at East Tennessee State University.
VO: Who is ur sponsor?
Me: I'm on a graduate teaching assistantship scholarship while the remainder of my fees would be paid by my sister and brother-in-law(VO cuts me short) *she took a glance at my i20 to verify this*
VO: What would you do after your program?
Me: I would take up an employment as a lecturer at my Alma matter. (She looked at me for a few seconds n faced the system back, *she was contended with wah I said already but I still continued talking though). I would take up managerial roles in Environmental Agencies so as to proffer longlasting solutions to environmental problems in Nigeria.
VO: I'll be approving your application.
Me: Thanks so much.
I guessed 6:30am batch is kinda okay, but God works anyhour anyday shaaaa. I grateful for the information n past transcript from this thread, it helped me a long way.
