NCSU and IOWA STATE are not that friendly with TA/GA 4 Msc applicants , moreover .ASIAN competition!!
Try to add other schools in the lower cadre.. and try communicating with Profs, you never know! uckd be lucky.

Canadian .schools are more generous to Msc. applicants (excluding top notches that are competitive). Just do a little Prof mailing...lol

godG: In bold: NO sir
Sir,
the trend over the years is writing exams before applying. You don't need to rush, take one step at a time. Perhaps you are running behind schedule, put a mail, call, etc. through to ur school.

Sir, the fact that it is a the trend (as you've claimed) does not mean 'submitting an application before writing the GRE' is unacceptable. You were so assertive in your response which failed to profer a direct answer to Mr UNIKLover's question.

In an attempt to answer other people's question, I think it's imperative that we give direct response to their questions instead of trying to express our opinion (except an opinion is sought). I have also noticed your forceful responses to people's questions, I don't think that's usually the best approach. Apologies if you comprehend this post as a rude one.

Walspring: I need on the following below;

1, Schools with full scholarship for undergraduate apart from schools in MINNESOTA..

2, Schools with full scholarship for undergraduate and the school should also have soccer team..

Kindly pm me for the schools name or indicate so that i can pm you myself

Ditto!!!

There is no school without sport teams, name the kind you want.

You'll play soccer till your GPA starts begging you for more points at the end of the semester.

Best of luck.

PS: you must not loss form to stay on the athletic funding and your CGPA must not drop beyond limit, else you'll be advised to concentrate more on your CGPA.

Yea but you can still make it back later. Coaches demand for course reports sign by instructors every semester. If they notice you're not doing well in classes, you'll be relieved. grin

Walspring: Hello house,

I need schools with full scholarship for undergraduate apart from schools in MINNESOTA.. Kindly PM me for the schools name.

Ditto!!!

The list of institutions that offer guaranteed full-rides to out-of-state students is very short.

Alabama State University

Coppin State University (Maryland)

Jackson State University (Mississippi)

Louisiana Tech University

Newberry College (South Carolina)

Prairie View A&M University (Texas)

Southeast Missouri State University

Troy University (Alabama)

University of Arkansas at Monticello

You can also check the link below for large compilation of scholarships that are guaranteed based on your CGPA and SAT score.

It will probably take you few minutes to write the school and determine which of them are also open to international applicants.

Thanks.

No, as a member of school sport team, you'll sometimes miss classes... like when you guys go for conferences or away matches. When I taught Org. Chem Lab last fall, I had this 3 students that missed 4 out of 12 lab sessions. Later they came asking for reports because their coaches wanted to see how they perform in class. I had to give them..... take no kill me whitie! undecided They will always come for make up labs when it's not convenient for you and be on your neck. angry
