๐Ÿ”น Me: Officer, in my work experience i gained good knowledge in project management and was exposed to small scale projects and now I believe that pursuing masters in US will help me develop strong foundation in BIM and LEED fundamentals which help me to lead large scale projects as an entrepreneur and also this will help me gain an international experience by pursuing masters degree at US. I will also gain international experience by studying in US

๐Ÿ”ป VO: What will you do with that international experience here?
๐Ÿ”น Me: As I want to be an entrepreneur Iโ€™ll be collaborating with large scale projects where international experience plays a key role and with this Iโ€™ll be gaining professional connections too.

They donโ€™t harbor any personal resentment toward you; they genuinely want you to be a good, responsible student and maintain your F1 visa status. Just be careful about your choices regarding universities in the future.

- Get into the audio conversation mode on the mobile app (after navigating to the same chat)
- Ask gpt to run you through mock interviews, ideal question and answers for you, you can request gpt to ammend the tone brevity, etc.
- I asked gpt to try & keep the answers to one liners and as succinct as possible.
- You can ask gpt to conduct easy, moderate & difficult mocks to practice.
- I've practiced about 25 mocks, just keep practicing, and ask gpt to pose the questions in different ways.
- I'm sure other people are doing this as well, this is just my 2 cents.
