What questions did they ask. I see a lot of visa rejections stories on reddit. Can anyone dig deeper and tell me what should i keep in mind during interview

My interview was straightforward, was 30-40 seconds long

I was asked, why Mba in US, how I'm funding my MBA, and what was the basis of my scholarship

Reporting bias. People are more likely to report their failures to seek support/help. Don't worry, it's hard to get rejected if you have a good offer. Just be confident.

Like most of the people are asked these questions while some get rejected. Can you share what were your responses like.

Are you taking debt?

How did you show your intent to come back to India.

When you say good offer you mean scholarship or good ranked mba college?
