Hollyholy:
Hey guys.

I cried all night and still crying after being denied yesterday.

It was like someone else possessed my body as all I heard rehearsed flew out of my head.

I sent an email to my program director and her response brought more tears to my eyes.

She said she will keep the admission open all through next year, hoping I can join them.

I am afraid to book another date and go through another heartbreak.

I am hiding in my office toilet as I type still crying.

I feel so sad

I'm sorry to hear this.
I know how it feels. You start to think of all the other things you should have mentioned, how you could have reframed your response and a lot of other 'could have'.

Take time off to recoup. Write a transcript and share so you can get advice and insights. Of course, there'll always be room for improvement in your transcript, but that doesn't mean you did not shoot your best shot, people with poorer transcripts have been granted. Re-strategize. Consider your options, if you'll still try for spring or defer to fall.

Find solace in your purpose and your loved ones, your family and friends. And in all, don't give up on your dreams.

I recently finished NYSC so not much post NYSC experience but I stated what I'm currently doing, which is in line with my program and my background.

Please, any advice from someone that has done this recently?

Youngstown:

Was it the vo that was speaking fast in an unfriendly tone? What time we're you interviewed?

Time was 9am.
The VO was at Stand 6, to the left.
His tone was formal.

Loloking:
Guys I had a bad day today and I don’t think I deserve this. This guy was just dashing yellow and blue paper like give 5 yellow and 5blue and I fell on the 5. I didn’t deserve this delay and I hope my tens fit proves it.

Ms in business administration
Scholarship of $7951


I was very confident and sharp. Maybe because after Nysc we looked for job tire till we got one. My transcript

Vo: Good morning
Me: Good morning



Vo: Do you have a kid?
Me: No I don’t have one.

Vo: I am sorry I won’t be giving you the visa and he hands me. Blue paper.

I was dazed that what just happened? I didn’t move for a second, he had to repeat it again and I left feeling sad because I truly didn’t deserve to be handed this way with questions that was as easy as this and even with my scholarship and traveling history.

Well I have paid another visa at gtb but will defer so I can get over this disappointment. It is well

Is it the VO at Stand 6 with the Camouflage nose mask? I was denied by him without deep questioning so I can't even say the reason. Most people are suggesting it's due to weak ties.

I cannot 100% recall the conversation and I tried to put it down as best as I can recall. My VO was at stand 6 and the two people before me were rejected.

Looking back, it is easy to say I should have said this or I should have responded this way but I responded to the best of my ability. My profile is good and the questions he asked were generic so I'm totally confused about the reason for the rejection. He did not ask for bank statement or any other document.

I'll pay another appointment fee but this time I'll choose Abuja.
