I paid contacted them, they sent me the I-20. My parent's wired funds to an account here in NYC. I then applied for the student visa at the U.S embassy.

All they wanted to know was where I was going to stay, and that was it. I would suggest you contact the schools and let them know that you would like to apply for admission. I must warn you that Baruch College is quite competitive and very difficult to get into.

Good luck with the admission process

How much am i goin 2 pay before I get my I-20? Tnx 4 d info anyways.

Just to reiterate what those that came before me have said A town, LaNiger et al. Do not even think of paying for tuition with work you will do as an F1 student in USA. You will drop out faster than a crackhead. Its sad but its true. Only attempt to come here if you have your entire tuition sorted either through scholarship or a rich sponsor. Do not base your decision to study in the USA on what someone experienced say 5 or 10 years ago. The situation on ground is a lot tougher now. One more thing, dont ever come with the intention of securing a scholarship once you arrive, that can be a very costly mistake because if you no get that scholarship, depression is just around the corner. I'm probably sounding like a prophet of doom but I would hate to see anyone experience what I've seen people experience here with no money to fall back on. Depression no be white man disease o. Real talk

hmmmm wat of loan n grants

internationals dont get loans or grants

well u would find it difficult if u wanna go to the school that gave you admission, they are pretty expensive well unless ur people re rich enuf to finance u, its kinda hrad tho but honestly better than Naija, the thing is that you just have to transfer to a community college when u get here and you can setup a payment plan or how you will be paying ur skol fees, its not legal to work as an international student but once u get ere, people u stay with will let you know how they do it, I got to the United States this fall through Indiana University Of Pennsylvania but am now in a College in Chicago, it was crazy tho cos the school didnt transfer me, they cancelled my i20 but i did re-instatement to the community college and everythin cost me $400 but am happy am beginnin to settle down, just lookin for a job now and life begins,

its simple, just go to the college u wanna go to, talk to the international student advisor, they will make sure the other Uni u go in through already cancelled your i20, so they will give you a form to fill its called i-539 or so, u will just have to start ur admission all over with the college, show them transcripts, results, statement of account, everything u sent to d UNI b4 they have u admission sha, after that they ll gv u a new i20 n u re a student of the school,

Thanks to everyone for your contributions.

This forum is turning to something else.The moderator has turn himself into a war lord.A dictator.He bans people at will without any offence.He beats my imagination that he can ban a great contributor like Gongo Aso for no reason then what is the essence of calling it a forum when people does not have the freedom of expression that is a fundamental human right.I condemn in totality such inhuman acts.Let us standing against banning on nairaland. SO THAT THE UNHEARD COULD BE HEARD.
