Me: Good Morning Officer. How are you today?
Vo: Good Morning. Great. What about you?
Me: I am doing good too officer

Vo: Can you please pass me your i20
Me: Here it is

Vo: So…..St. cloud state university?
Me:Yes officer

Vo: Why SCSU?
Me: Officer because it is the only university which provides masters in clinical research focusing on medical devices. Also I came to know about their extensive course curriculum when I had an admission interview with the program director professor XYZ. He explained to me about the electives and the internship program that this university provides.
I wanted to continue but vo asked the next question

VO: But why this course? Do you have any background related to it?
Me: Officer since I’ve done my ug in bachelors of pharmacy I’ve all the basic knowledge that my masters degree requires coz we were taught subjects that are very relevant to my masters subjects.
Also I’ve done industrial training in which we were given practical skills in manufacturing of pharmaceuticals including medical devices. I
published a research article about covid detection devices which got approved in an international journal. And presently I am working as an xyz in xyz company
So you see my bachelors, working experience and my masters are very connected.
