Me: Good morning officer! How are you doing today?

VO : Sooo you are going to Lewis university right?
Me : No officer, it is Franklin University (I answered it with firm voice)
Vo : Sorry mate, my bad. You have been rejected last time. Do you know the reason why?
Me : officer, to be frank I am unsure about the reason I have been rejected last time. I feel I wasn’t communicated my intent properly to the Visa Officer to make her decision. But I am confident about the university and the course I’ve chosen so I haven’t made any changes to my DS160 (answered it very confidently)
Vo : Okay! What made you stand so confident about this university?
Me : officer, I have done extensive research on the options I had. The curriculum offered by Franklin is very relevant and close to my area of interest. Also this university is offering me a tier 2 SAS Specialisation along with a capstone project.
VO : what are the other universities that you applied and how many admits?
Me : named the 5 universities I applied and told I have admits from all of them.
VO: what are those subjects that are close to your interest?
Me : officer, subjects like issues in database management and marketing management and analytics are the subjects which no other university is offering (I dont know if others are offering, I told blindly) and if I get a chance, I would like to complete a research on these.
VO : Impressive! When did you complete your undergrad sir?
Me : I have completed my undergrad in 2013 April officer. (He suddenly stopped typing and looked into my eyes. After that he is never typing, just shooting questions)
VO : whats your undergrad CGPA?
Me : officer it is 6.6 without any backlogs.
VO : why do you want to go to masters after so long? What are you waiting for since then!!
Me : Officer as soon as I completed my undergrad, I got placement in an IT company. Though I have plan, i didn’t had the time to get prepared for my master’s.
VO : Ahaa, what were you doing since then?
Me : officer, I have seven years+ of corporate experience. My previous organisation is Amazon where I have worked for 4 years and now currently working with Genpact as process developer in data analysation.
VO : Can you explain me your job role and the link between the course and your experience?
Me : I have explained my job role in detail and mentioned subjects above and matched them with the job role. (The answer went for one long minute without fumbling)
VO : wait! I am really confused now. You seem to be very confident, well established professionally. Why do you want to take chance and leave all these behind?
Me : Officer, corporate world is very competitive. At this point of time in my career, pursuing masters in business analytics will not only deepen my skills in this field but also make me future ready for any leadership challenges.
VO : Who is funding you sir?
