Cool.
Good luck bro.

Good day to everyone here. I'm planning to acquire my second degree (M.sc) in the state. Please people in the house and the experienced ones in the house, I would be glad to learn and receive substantial information about schools, city, tuition/fund, and any other helpful information towards actualization of my educational pursuit in the U.S. I studied Agricultural Economics for my first degree. I'm residing out of Nigeria at the moment, Central Asia (Republic of Kazakhstan to be precise, one of the old USSR countries)
Thanks in anticipation.

Good to have you. Try to read any of the parts - 1 to 8 - from page one. Just one part and you will be good.

Yea, generally MS is an African American populated state. It's funny to hear that the few whites moved out of Jackson (the largest city in MS) to nearby towns. Those that come to the capital are only there to work. Thats why the crime rate is high and the standard of living over there is poor. Madison is fair though.

This might not concern me but pardon my curiosity:

I have a problem with the inferences made therein; why would crime rate be high because of migrants who come in to work at Jackson and a consequent poverty lifestyle?

Just curious!

Oh. The crime rate is not as a result of the migrants. The migrants are the whites who work in the state capital but live outskirt. They left the city because of black domination and rough lifestyle in the city. Government on the other hand dont usually help in a community dorminant by the blacks. Such trend is seen everywhere including NYC. As such standard of living is poor. Crime rate is expected to rise when the only thing people can think of is to refuse education but like to use model cars pimped with big chrome rims and party.

Hello gurus,
I applied for a US B1 visa last year but it was denied unfortunately. Now I gained admission into a chemistry doctorate program with full funding/assistantship. Please would the previous denied application affect my chances of getting a F1 visa now? Thank you

Hello gurus,
I visited stanbicIBTC bank today and asked about how much rate they charge if I use their bank MasterCard in the US. I was told they will charge the normal rate of 199 naira per dollar with a maximum monthly withdrawal limit of $750 cash on ATM. Can is be true ? I mean 199 naira/dollar ?

Boss, that is a broad day light robbery o .
I used my GTB card on Walmart yesterday and I was charged 300 for each dollar. I doubt any bank will give you that rate of 199..

Sorry but with the spelling and use of English shown in your post
you will have difficulty convincing a university that you have sufficient education.
This is NOT an insult but an observation of your spelling, punctuation and use of language.
It is not even text speak.

It seems to be then that the level of racial discrimination induced even by those in Govt is still worrisome!

I know how it feels. Some schools have stringent admission requirements while some are lean back. Those that rejected you might belong to the first group I mentioned. 305 GRE score is good enough but not the best. You should be able to get admissions if you can try apply to at least 4 schools altogether. Best of luck.

Like someone said this morning, racial discrimination is what we constantly live with everywhere to the extent that you dont even know such exists unless you're victimized. So, you dont have to worry about that.

your best bet is to use www.msinus.com you'll see list of schools and likely GRE scores. You can email the graduate coordinator, he/she should tell the average score of student who have been admitted over the years.

As an African, I would be scared when I see you in sagged ripped jean with big boots and hoodie late night or lonely road. Sometimes, we just muddle insanity with racial discrimination

When you streamline school post all here. Try and look for more schools in the south since you would aiming for funding.

What is your GPA?

Do you mind schools without funding?

These are important questions to ask.

Sure, it could affect you. If you showed up with hundreds of fake stamps and a story that made no sense, it will affect you for the rest of your life. If you were given a lifetime ban for misrepresentation it would affect you too. But if you simply weren't qualified at the time, then it isn't a problem.

No no, nothing like that. Just ineligible according to section 214(b)

Then you should be fine - you will still have to meet all of the requirements at the time of the interview, but a prior refusal under 214(b) isn't a big deal.

That being said, 10 prior refusals under 214(b) starts to look suspicious...
