This video is totally my story🥹. I got only 58% in 12th, so had to join a private college for engineering. And guess what? Just yesterday, I got an admission offer from UIUC for my MS. Can you believe it?

[@Yash-rr5mt]

Hey Nistha.. I appreciate your courage. I always wanted to apply for columbia university Human Capital Management but again it will cost a lot then also thought to go for phd but I feel pretty scared from all lengthy process I definitely connect to you soon via your service. But you are doing a great job.

[@ScholarStrategyTV]

[@adarshgowda2287]

Hey bro my interview is on July 27 at chennai. How many questions were asked ?

[@Gau_gk]

@@adarshgowda2287 hi VO asked what course you are doing, what was ur undergrad major, why this course, what subjects u have.

[@painEXECUTER_NS]

I'm currently in LPU (BCA). I wanna go to US for masters.

[@mightystrombreaker1672]

Most of the universities in US expect 4 year course for masters

[@painEXECUTER_NS]

@@mightystrombreaker1672 yeah, but we can push our degree to 4 years, or we could get a one year diploma with 3 years degree. These are acceptable

[@kakalichakraborty837]

What are you doing now ? Are you in USA or India now?

[@ScholarStrategyTV]

I stayed in US for 7 years and then came back to India. Check previous videos

[@nuranichandra2177]

Did you leave US voluntarily or got kicked out?

[@Gau_gk]

[@Elusivee007]

​@@nuranichandra2177dude, who would reply to such a rude question? 🤡 Be polite and humble.
