Hi... I'm 23 years old, I graduated from high school since 2016 and I'm just processing my undergraduate admission at northwest Missouri state university. Will I have any issues concerning the gaps and if I may ask, what do you think is the best response if I'm asked why I'm just coming for my undergraduate after 7 years?

I believe that this university is capable of giving me the education that I want to get. My university offer a very strong business program. It also offered the specialization that I was seeking. I also have a very good impression when I was in contact with the admission and when I read the students reviews about the university. How that look like
Hello, it's me John Okot from Uganda. I plan to go to USA Washington DC for my studies. I believe by listening to you this is going to help me during the interviews.
Hi Acharya, I covered that in this video. Have you watched it? I also listed some possible questions in my previous video, towards the end. Please watch it
Hey madam Fisayo. This is a very good insight. Just asking , l already habe a gmdegree in educstion from my home country but l want to go and take nursing. How can l answer that?
Hello if asked whether you will be paid by your organization will keep paying your salary as an employee if your F1 visa is approved, what is the right answer?
Good Morning ma’am I’m going for sociology but my main focus is on the business force. Please tell me what you think of my answer and correct me where it’s needed. Ans: Sociology will help me gain creative marketing and communication skills that are highly demanded in the market; making me a though leader in the business field and upon graduation I intent to return home and start up my own businesses leveraging the skills that I gained during the program. In the long run I also want to start up a nonprofit organization that will help women business owners start new businesses.
What if you applied to several school and got admission for just 1 school? Will that influence their decision? 1) what if you applied for different courses, are you mention that? Will it not also influence their decision?
Hi Fisayo, thank you for the video. Do you think only having applied for one school in the US is a bad thing for the interviewer? I'm confident in my choice and didn't see the need to apply for other shcools
What if you are ask if you have been to Europe before , and you said no you have not been to Europe before, because truly I have not been to Europe before, what was supposed to be my answer, 2. I travelled to Dubai for the interview and he said why am I in Dubai, and I told him , what was supposed to be my answer and what's your intent thank you in advance.
I have a question, what can you answer when you're asked why you want to go to a Community College when you already have a Bachelor's Degree and already working in a different field from what you intend to study at the community college?
Thank you for dis video Pls a question In my Ds_160 there is a space to fill whether you are working or u can fill a student Work/education I finished my bsc 2019 but afta my nysc I went for a training skill So has a graduate student is it advisable just to put student instead of working bcos I AVE not been working actually.
Hi dear thanks for this video . I have a question..What if you re sponsoring your self with your own company account? And my program is 8weeks, is there a possibility of them asking me why can't I do it in My country or online?
Hello Fisayo. My question is a little bit unrelated to this video. I learnt that immigrants are not allowed to bring in dairy products such as milk into the US. I'd like to ask this only applies to liquid can milk or if dry milk is allowed.
Hi just observed your masters is in businesses administration and that's what am going for. Please can I have your own insight on how to go about the interview with few detail approach
Thank you so much for the video. I want to apply for an expedited interview date but the available dates I keep seeing is either today or the next day. Do you advise I apply like that or I should keep checking for a further date. My start date is January 3rd.
This will depend on how prepared you are. I’d advice you choose the next available date since there is no guarantee you’ll see other dates in the future
Hi Posh! That is what I intend to do do too. My start date is in January 9th, next year. Initially, I kept seeing a day to but when I checked last week, I saw this Wednesday for the next available date. I advise you keep checking. You will definitely get a date that will give you at least 3 to 5 days to prepare.
fisayo thank you for the wonderful info, you are a blessing to our generation, I want to ask you a question, I have sponsor do I need still need to sumbit my own bank statement, ?
Hi am going for pre nursing, and it's just for 2years, i don't really know how to convince them that i will come back to my home country, I was rejected the first time because of this, please help me
Please I want to ask you that if I've have just graduated from a Nigerian university and my I20 has been sent can i take my statement of result from the Nigeria school as proof?
Hi Fisayo I have my interview by October 4 and have been denied twice I don’t know if it’s possible you could rhearse and practice with me even if it’s once
I am going to pursue bachelor's in computer science at radford university and i chose this university because i get scholarship or 8000 dollars and the university is also providing information security awareness and training program to it students along with it they are also providing certificatinonal course in cyber security which will be helpful for my carrier because i want to be a cyber security officer ,moreover the university is technically advance it also develops a mobile friendly portal for students in which students get access to connect with university services which is a great thing. ( is this answer is ok or not)
Several answers to this question, you can do a quick google search for other points but what comes to mind is more opportunities to advance in the sociology space, more people who are actively working in that field that you can connect with, more funding from the schools in the US to study that course than Canada etc
I choose this program because I want to gain skills that are demanded in the market. Such as Managment,communication,leadership,marketing, and creativity. These skills will increase my personal knowledge and will help me to get many job opportunities. I will also be able to start my own business in my country with the knowledge and skills that I will gain. how this answer look honest opinion
I’m choosing this program to gain specific creative marketing and communication skills that are highly demanded in the market. It will enhance my personal knowledge and make me a thought leader in this field. In the near future, I intend to start up a business in my country leveraging the skills I gained during the program.
I need an answer to this because I applied to only one school which there was no sponsorship and my dad is sponsoring me ,I did not even bother to process others because I have had several rejections from schools in UK
@@agathaugbogu7872 I'm sorry to hear about that. The chances of not getting a F1 visa when your sponsor is US citizens is 100%. Because the 214b is trying to say that u do not have any ties to your country of origin. Being that America is a capital country, they want money from outside to come into their country. So it's somehow difficult to get a visa if you have sponsor from USA or u if mention to officer that you have immediate relatives in the USA.
@@FisayoGracieAbby okay, I joined a certain university here in Kenya in 2017 to pursue Tourism but I didn't like the course i was taking so discontinued,is it necessary to mention it since I'm going to US to study nursing?
