Jonesdozi:
Your uncle earning 5million monthly in Nigeria... is a red flag, please note that the VO are well educated. Why will your uncle want to sponsor you for masters? You shouldn't have mentioned your sister moving to Canada as well. Kindly send a message if you need help revising your transcript

Thank you. I’d appreciate.
How do I reach you? I just sent you an email.

Thank you. I would appreciate

Good evening all. I’m gradually recovering from the discouragement that comes from getting a denial.

Please see transcript below

Date: 19th August, 2021
Time: 11:00am
Location: Lagos
Funding: Zero

Brief background - I’m a graduate of accounting, and I’ve also worked within the Healthcare space)

VO: please pass your passport and I-20
Me: passed it (Good morning)

VO: I see you’re going to Texas A&M, how many schools did you apply to and why Texas A&M?
Me: I applied to 3 schools (mentioned them). I choose Texas A&M for several reasons:
- A senior colleague at work is a graduate of Texas A&M university and is doing very well in the position she heads. My sister is also a graduate of the school and is currently working in Canada (needed to mention that my sister had left the US because my first denial was for attending her graduation in 2019)
- The school also offers a minor I’m interested in (Economics of Health care in the US) which I can take within my 2 year stay without having to extend my duration in the US. I’d be studying Business Analytics.

Over the past 5 years, I’ve majorly worked in the Cancer space and have been able to identify the huge gap is data/ information and turning this into possible solutions for better healthcare in Nigeria. This made my decision to further my education easier as I have identified a gap that I am willing to address. Also my background in finance/ accounting (which involves preparing and analyzing financial data),aids my desire to have an MBA in data science and data science is actually The future. Business analytics is an hybrid between science and business.
Converting medical data into useful information

VO: Kept typing without looking at me. I honestly got confused because there was an awkward silence.

VO: Who would be sponsoring you?
Me: My uncle, he’s a consultant at a teaching hospital and also consults and is on the board of several hospitals in Lagos.

VO: What’s his average monthly pay?
Me: about 5-8million monthly

VO: types for a short while and handed the blue paper. And said I didn’t qualify for the visa.

She made a face when I spoke about my reason for the school. She probably wasn’t convinced.
I’ve heard people say my “Uncle” being my sponsor was a red flag. But I’ve read transcript of people who got their Visa approved even with their uncle/ 3rd party as a sponsor.

I want to reapply (for Spring 2022) but I’m not sure if using my uncle will be a disadvantage again. I don’t have any other sponsor and don’t think it’ would look genuine for him to deposit the money in my account for an interview I’d most likely be having soon (before the year runs out).

This is my seeking help/assistance on how to go about this in reapply.

Thank you in anticipation of your response.

Regards

Congratulations! Looking forward to your transcript. Mine is on Thursday

Good evening

I have my interview for next week. I’d indeed appreciate an assistance with a mock interview.

Thank you

Good evening guys.
I was just about to defer my admission when I got a mail that my EA has been approved for next week. Please advise on what’s best to do. Deferring was something I had to consciously accept since I didn’t get a feedback in time.

What do you suggest I do? Can I go ahead with my current I20 for the visa interview next week and still defer to spring 2022 after I get the visa? My school start date is 30th August.

Please help, I’m clueless.

Is your Texas A&M also in commerce? I also got admission in Texas A&M commerce & currently awaiting funding

Hello. I don’t know how I missed this. I’m still figuring out how to us nairaland. Yes it’s in Commerce. I’d appreciate your assistance even with a mock interview.

Congratulations on your approval!

Good morning all,

I sincerely appreciate this platform. It’s been very helpful in my Ms application process.

My school start date is 30th of August but will be required to resume before then (26th August) for orientation. I have also requested an EA and I await a favourable response.

In the meantime, I believe opportunity meets preparedness. I’d like to have mock interviews with anyone willing to help.

Thank you in advance.

Hello all,
I’m new here.
I’d like to seek your advice on the below:
- I have gotten admission to Texas A&M but would like to explore getting financial aid or student assistantship, please how do I go about this ?

- I have captured for my international passport renewal since 1st of February but unfortunately haven’t gotten it due to the usual “shortage” in booklet. I am to resume in Fall, does this hinder my chances of resuming this year? Even though they said there’d be booklet by May.

- My uncle is standing in as my sponsor and we don’t share the same name,would this be an hinderance for VISA?

I’d appreciate all the help I can get. Thank you
