Yes I know someone that scored Above 70 and he also got the text

Layohrt:
Anyone with the score above 70 got the text??

@fairheart, Thanks for the review I will work on the areas you have spotted. Thanks Bro

In your response to why the course, you need to add more salt. Although you appear to know why you pick the course, you didn't state clearly what you intend to do with the degree. Are you going to be a programmer and video game designer? State that specifically. The consular would sense this is something you want, hence a valid reason for going for the degree.

You started your response to why this school with generic tone, which is very common on this thread. A student should not start his response to an interview question like this. Say, "I" chose Lynn University because of ...Personalise! Personalise! That is the key
Generally, your response there should be rewritten.

How do you plan to link your undergraduate course, present employment and the program you are going for? You haven't done that in your transcript.

Also, look at what you said you will come home to do after graduation? You want to go to the US to study games, interactive design, then after two years, you will return to Nigeria, hang the certificate and continue with sales of building materials? Are you joking?
Abeg, go and rewrite the entire transcript. I am not impressed at all! But hey, this is my assessment; I am not a consular.[/quote]

please Guru in the house help review my intending Transcript,b4 my interview i will be going for the 4th time.

I need advise Plz
I was denied twice january this year.
NB(i already posted my transcript here )I wrote my school to defer my admission but they accepted me again for May Entry, i don't know if its too sudden or if i should wait till August Entry. Am looking at the Embassy perspective .
Awaiting ur suggestions plz

Please is there anyone here who applied to MUM, at fairfied iowa and has gotten his or her Visa? Or is there any Nigerian student in MUM from this platform.?

for u to say you've made research about the school now show that you didn't Know anything about the school before u applied to it . secondly your answer to how you found the school seems complicated, for you to say that your lecturer knows a friend whose friend left to the school. you didn't sound genuine, it would have been better if u said that your lecturer had his degree from this University and has also told you lot of good things about their academic excellent, u now do more research about the through which u found out that the school is good academically that would have been better. moreover u tried to talk about the computer science and the award that the school has won but u you've spoilt everything at the beginning.. thirdly you shouldn't have apply when u knew that nothing has changed in your transcript.. kindly differ to fall and research more about the school, also construct you own transcript. I can detect that you're using an agent but that's not the matter .. work on your answer especially about the school, how you found, and most importantly the course because that's also a big deal ..

Whats the best possible way to answer such question i see u previously applied and what has changed?
I guess she feels it was too early to reapply and for how i got to know the school , that was the genuine truth i told her.
As for using agent, its a capital NO. I did my application myself.
I will àppreciate if i can pm u or if i can call u so i ll get some glue.thanks in anticipation

You were not prepared, that's all I can see here. You didn't even know the total unit of courses you are going to take.
