Thanks imperiouxx baba. I already told GboyegaD about the rejects. Had 301 GRE , 92 TOEFL, MSc 4.04/5 n bsc of 3.39/5.00. Thinking maybe cause my GRE result is not too good. Hoping to sit for another but I spent money ooo.Arizona app took like $100 with TOEFL n GRE scores order of 47$. Same with MTU except that no app fee but spent same $47 to order to them. What about my two transcript to those two schools? If I use that money go do my fiancee introduction I for happy. Right now if there is any promo on GRE make una pls book me down. This one that buharis back

Such disappointment makes you feel imperfect, believe me. I felt this way too. Search for another 3 schools and work on your sop if possible. I had to take medical ethics ($1200) and medical terminology ($250) online just to meet up with the application requirement for only 1 school (Wagner College). I already made up my mind that if I don't get in in 2016/2017 cycle, I would reapply for 2017/2018 cycle and no turning back until I get in.

Ok. Its their School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in DC.
I checked on gradcafe, they gave few students funding. One guy, same course, got $115k for the 2 years...lucky guy. Then some others got btw $25-70k.

LagosismyHome:


They are both expensive for this exchange rates....my sister is in dc sharing a house with 3 other students and the rent is 950 per month (to give u an idea)... that with no bills at all so for me DC or NY wont be a first preference .. except in the time when dollar was less than 200

Although John Hopkins is not in DC....it is in baltimore MD.....the rent in Baltimore will be cheaper than DC... Also John Hopkins usually are very stingy with money. I have quite a no of friends who went there but everyone i know paid or got student loans so its my impression that the school very stingy with funding

As for distance . Not too far as both cities are in the east coast. You can make it in 3 hours between both cities .
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 11 by OluDare01(m): 9:42pm On Mar 12, 2017
You got into good schools I tell ya.
I pray you get funding.
OGreene:
Average profile. Now I believe when the schools say they make admission decisions based on holistic assessment of one's overall application. I applied with 3.7/5 and 307

Columbia not Cornell

@borie4u, the bolded is crucial. If you want to reapply, take time and go through the admission requirements. What you are deficient in, acquire it asap. You cant change your CGPA. Try get a better GRE score since you want to rewrite.

For each application I submitted, I made sure I met ALL the requirements. One school wanted Statistics knowledge, i enrolled for it online sharpaly, studied it and added that in the application. One had foreign lang requirement, I already had that (French), if not I would have enrolled in Alliance Francaise. One wanted substantial experience in Devt, (I had little). I remembered the events/programs and voluntary works I have engaged in that had aspects of Devt, I elaborated on these. Try and see how you can match each req. Leave nothing out.

Another thing, I read through the schools' blogs, listened to their youtube videos and Facebook live sessions on what they want to see in a candidate. I dwelt on it for days, evaluating my fit. Then I wrote my SOP and tried convincing them why I fit in, coupled with my passion about Devt.

This week, have gotten admissions in University of Pittsburgh and Columbia University. Then John Hopkins Uni just now, conditional, was told to complete some online courses or in an accredited school.

No news on funding. But I will keep mailing them and keep believing that something will work out.

Congratulations....thanks for the other day.

Yes there are few out there but most private loans require a us citizen to be a co signer for an international student loan

Visa denied by one useless woman in window 3 ...
VO : why did you choose the school

Me : after my research about the university I realized that the tuition fee is online with my fathers budget for my studies ( the bastard cuts in )

VO : When did you graduate , me :2012

Was talking with confidence ... she said what did I study I said business administration and managemt ...

VO : she asked me my specification
I named the business administration and management again and also named the courses I did

She asked me definition of marketing environment ....I told her ...was talking with confidence ....she said sorry..... e no pain me atall cause I did all my best to make things work out then that means It's not the right time for me ...no be only Usa be country ...all am after is to make more money and to have many alternatives with the Usa of a thing like getting Canada visa too ...useless woman ...after waiting for them as if they are God...

The VO isn't useless. Your response to why you choose the school denied you the visa. Also, your use of vulgar words is really alarming. I understand that you're upset but I'll advise that if you really ain't seeing studying in the US as an escape route, then you need to do your homework well. Read through past interview transcripts so that you can be well positioned to answer such questions because sincerely, your response to that question was below par and your next attempt might also not be the right time if you don't work on your flaws

This ur transcript sha .... Visa will always be denied and can be given next time after a denial . The VO are doing their job based on what they see or hear . Some times they get it right some times they get it wrong.. ... your first response which is usually a key selling point you gave a very poor response . Anyway

However the outcome with a Vo there no need for such foul mouth

Please i just need clarification on the documents i am to submit for the financial documents required for immigration, is it just the bank statement and statement of account of sponsor alone? Thanks so much for your help i really appreciate.
I really can't comment on specific cases. Admission decision transcends having a stellar GPA. The strength of one's entire application is evaluated.
But for CSU, I know you're only required to submit transcript and 2 LOR right?

Interviews are very subjective ....a weak response might work for some and not other...some times even a good response might get a NO.....so it best to be well prepared

Also sometimes it depends on other factors such as mood of the VO that day or some will say FAVOUR from God. Nobody knows the right answers because interviews are subjective

Also transcript gives u just an overview and not word for word what actually happened....that transcript might be the person didnt want to type much...... Last fall i recall there was someone who posted a transcript and the VO who actually interviewed him posted a reply that ehnnn this wasn't exactly how it happened cheesy cheesy

For CSU still? If yes, then you don't really need to submit a financial statement until you've been admitted. Just make sure you submit all the required documents namely LOR n transcript and check on campusnet for the status of your application.
