Bolakale66: Hi, house! Is it possible to be granted a visa when your appointment is after your arrival date. E.g arrival date 14 oct, appointment date 16 oct,

You have to apply for an extension before going for the interview. In other words the letter should be taken alongside your documents to the embassy.

mrnilobrawn: Guyz...must I write GRE bf I can secure admission for masters in engineering?

No you must not, but it's generally required at competitive programs. There are a bunch of engineering programs that don't require the GRE. Search around here and google, you should come up with something. An old poster here got into a mech program at CSU, sacramento without doing the TOEFL and GRE. In any case, I'd advise you write the exam though. It's not very difficult if you prepare well. The way i rationalize it is that if you are serious about graduate study in the states you may as well start now by proving to yourself you can ace their standardized tests. Good luck.

mrnilobrawn: Guyz...must I write GRE bf I can secure admission for masters in engineering?

Yes, it is necessary but you might find a few schools where it isn't particularly required.

Yes and NO.....

Hi good people.
Now I'm getting worried and I need someone to allay my fears and worries.
I have submitted all supporting documents including test scores except Bank statement. The application is for spring 2015 semester. How long does it take US graduate schools generally to adjudicate on applicants' files. Do they review the files as they come in or will wait until after the application deadline set by the school? In three days we will be in October and time is running pretty quick. How long will I have to wait?
Thanks

You need not worry. When is the deadline for the spring application? Have you contacted your school yet?Do well to contact them and request when the admission decision will take place?

Most times admission decision comes after application deadline. So you would need to exercise some patience, spring session should start in January.

Stewee:

Yes it's possible.

To answer your question, most admissions department keep files and they have a checklist. That checklist must be completed and your file ticked 'complete' before it can be forwarded for review by the graduate school.

Usually, not often, some schools notify applicants of missing documentation. Some others don't bother at all.

So regarding your financial statement, if it's a requirement it's likely to show up in the portal. Not all schools require it however.

mrnilobrawn: Guyz...must I write GRE bf I can secure admission for masters in engineering?

Not really but added advantage. You need to write the exam to show you are serious student not an intending immigrant

Yeah, you can get your visa without the SAT...although, taking the SAT would naturally have boosted your chance and credibility.

You should receive response if there are any other documents they might require but basically it depends on your school's approach to applications.

Just make sure to contact the admissions office by email and inquire if there are any more documents they might need, also send all needed supporting documents well ahead of the deadline to be on the safe side.

Best of luck!

I guess you can like any other person but it strictly depends on many factors. Which school did you apply to?

It solely depends on the school. Confirm if your school waives it. And if truely is being waived, get a letter from your school as a proof.
Cheers!
