Industrial Engineering position in Silicon Valley.
Replied and a phone interview was fixed the next day with just a few hours headsup which I did and concluded in 20minute.

nice one bro. hopefully you get it.

any piece(s) of advice for incoming Ind Eng (spring 19) grad students to Tamuk, it will be highly appreciated. thanks

The speed fear me..
I was told my resume was seen on Hand5hake, a website were students in US schools find jobs or internships - in my school, mostly on-campus jobs.

That interview was all expense paid, return flight, hotel (cost die, over $200 daily), food and ground transport.

It was moved to the upper week and I did it before heading to Atlanta for the passport renewal.


Overall, it was a great experience and I am still waiting for a feedback from them.

Gerogia Tech, Penn State and College Station people full there. I follow dem drag am.

You'll get a positive feedback! cheesy

Chairman, get the part tuition waiver - pay in-state.
Face your books and get great grades to distinguish yourself...

And put your hope in Oluwa, He will make everything alright.

Industrial department here is easier to survive than other departments.

Did they offer you instate tuition for spring? They claim there are no scholarships, I got their fall offer; $1K and instate; i differed. Now they're saying none of those offers are available for spring semester after sending them a mail to enquire if there's a new pool of candidates under consideration.

Application package I guess; transcripts, GRE, sop n lor . I didn't put in a separate application for scholarship consideration. And I sent them a mail immediately after my admission if I was being considered for any tuition waiver. A mail came in later congratulating me

The information on the Atlanta consulate page is adequate.

Add a photocopy of your passport main/biometrics page + self address USPS priority envelope, From them,To your address + 2 passport photo.

They use the envelope to send back your renewed passport. It's size is as big as an A4 or letter sized paper.
