Please nairalanders. I got an admission into the University of Cincinnati Ohio for a Masters in Engineering. The tuition is about 28k, out of which I got 9.5k waiver. The total COA is around 45k. So the deficit is about 36k. My elder brother is sponsoring and I have his account statement that has 20M in it. Please what are my chances? And what do I need to do to convince the VO?

My US student visa was denied last Friday 24th June, 2022

At Abuja Embassy

I-20 is 59k and all the funding is from my uncle

I am a female and was interviewed by a male officer. I cried so much that I didn't eat the whole day.
I don't even know my next line of action for now. I won't give up hope though. I pray for divine direction.

Here is my transcript

Abuja Embassy

Officer: Your passport/i-20 ( I handed it over to him)

Me: Hi, Good morning ( not sure how I greeted again)

Officer: Good morning

Officer: So, you are going to the University of North Carolina for Information Science?

Me: Yes

Officer: Why information Science

Me: ( I pulled down my face mask to answer)

Officer: (Pointed at my face mask, and said i should put it back up)

Me (Female) : Oh sorry
( I pulled it back to my nose)

Male Officer: Okay, Let's complete the biometrics first. Place your finger....... ........... then after the capturing. He said, Place back the two thumbs, it didn't capture well ( I did )

Male Officer: So, why Information Science?

Me (Female): Information Science covers a wide range of courses that will help me excel in my current job role as an IT research Officer. It covers Information retrieval, Data Analysis, Research methodologies. These will help me get the knowledge and skills that will help me excel as this is a male dominated industry.

Male Officer: So, where do you work?

Me ( female) : I work as an IT research Officer with Nirsal, Central Bank of.Nigeria

Male Officer: So, you work for Central Bank.of Nigeria?

Me (female): No. I work for Nirsal, that's Nigeria Incentive-Based.... . ... ....XYZ..... It is under the Central bank of Nigeria.

Male Officer: okay

Male Officer: So, who is your sponsor?

(he now turned and look at me eye ball to eye ball. I maintained eye contact)

Me (Female) : My sponsor is my uncle.

Officer: What is he into?

Me: He is into furniture business. He has showrooms and factories in the south-eastern part of the country. He has over 50- 60 people working for him. He is is passionate about my education, that is why he is sponsoring me.

Officer: I'm sorry, we cannot....( handed over my passport

Me: I left and cried my eyes out.

1. You didn't mention your uncle's assets and yearly turn over. Having 50-60 people working for him is generic because they may even be menial workers that receive 10-20k per month.

2. You don't have any savings at all after working for a CBN agency?

Sorry for the denial.

I believe he wasn't okay that your uncle can sponsor your program.
Next time talk about his annual revenue from his business and you can even go further to talk about how much he pays labor. 50-60 staff is a lot, so help them help you.

Just visit google and type the kind of recommendation letter your searching for. Everything is on Google

I've gotten to the stage in my application where I'll need a recommendation letter. I intend drafting my own letter and sending to my project supervisor in skul,so he'll use instead of me stressing him and in the process submitting a dry LOR. But,my case is different, I graduated with a 2.87/4 gpa,I have Good gre tho plus,I meet the minimum GPA of the skul I'm applying to which is 2.75/4. My plea is;

1) anybody here with link,sample or can help me address the situation here as I want an outstanding reference letter, I think a lady here said something about this,where she got good LOR and she said some vital stuffs to be included in the letter if you've low GPA.

Pls if u can't help with link or sample, u can aswell help with the killer words here(type it) so I can draft from here. I just need good content on this, I greet una!![/quote]

Abby212:
Good evening all, please I am new here. Have been on the Canada study thread but haven't gotten my study permit so I am looking at trying the US but I have some questions.

I have a B.Sc in mass communication (part time) 2.2. I am looking at getting a Graduate research assistantship job cos of funding but I don't know how to go about it. Please can anyone help for direction.
Plan B
Also, does US like Canada look at academic or progression. I would have probably read social works but at the same time, I am looking for funding too. Please how can I go about this?

Thanks so much.

When you search for schools and you have a list of schools you want to apply to, check through their financial aid page and look for any information on funding. You will have to check every details on that and be sure they offer assistantship. So schools will have you submit separate application for that while some will tell you it's not needed. If you don't see any information concerning graduate funding, there's always a contact information of the program coordinator on the site. You will copy that and email the person asking about funding and any other questions you may have concerning your admission to the school plus funding.

PS: Be explicit in your words and don't assume he/she knows what you are saying especially concerning that particular funding you want to know about.

Best of luck

Hello Nairalanders,
Pls I need someone to talk.
I had my OND in public management, I am trying to apply for an undergraduate degree in USA .

Could someone please advise how I can go about this and can the school accept my OND result such that I will start from year 3 directly without needing to start from 100 level?

What you want to look at is Transfer admission. You may have to do a course by course evaluation to be sure you completed all the freshman courses but talk to the schools admission office first and forward your transcript to them. The unofficial one. Some schools do offer to evaluate students results if they can. To cut long story short, yes you can start from Sophomore year (200l) provided you have all compulsory prerequisites.
