Handling F1 Visa Interview with low profile

Low academics are really not a problem in F1 Visa Interview, if your answers are enough to convince visa officer that you would be able to survive in the University among students with better scores and academics.

Your answers should reflect that higher education would improve your knowledge. Show your zeal for higher education.

With the question 'What is your feeling?', visa officer given the student a chance to convince him. Your answer should be elaborate and should explain the effort you out and the ways you tried to overcome your low profile. One should add some points in his career like 1) Attending some training sessions. 2) Research paper presentations 3) Seminars etc.
Never give a single line answer for this kinds of questions.

Can i attend visa Interview next time?

Yes you can. And try again with good answers. University didn't ask you to work and they are fine with your Scores and Profiles. University didn't mention about work experience on I-20 or admission letter, right?
