Am surprised as to some universities in the US not demanding for application fee. Would it be right to conclude that they are low ranked universities or is a measure put in place to attract students?

Michigan tech waives app fee and it is ranked among top 120 schools( national ranking) by US news.
In my opinion, waiving app fees is a measure to attract a lot of applicants thus increasing the application pool. Since the number of students the school can admit is not dependent on the number of applications received, the school acceptance rate increases leading to an increase in ranking.
I may be wrong tho

Read it well. It doesn't apply to you.

The question seeks to find out if you've been turned back at the point of entry while seeking admittance into the United States.

Seeing that you don't have a visa yet, it doesn't apply to you. Unless you've been turned back at POE. So the question is, have you?

Hello everyone! I wrote GRE last year I scored 149 in Verbal nd 150 in quantitative. Can I use it to apply to grad school? I have a cgpa of 3.37/4.0 in Biochemistry. Scored 94 in TOEFL (without Scoring less than 20 in any).
What's my chance of gaining admission? The annoying most of these schools do not even write their minimum GRE scores required on their websites.


First of all, no one here can tell you your chance of getting into a school. Direct this question to the grad coordinator of your program. He/she will be able to tell you what the average stats of their incoming students look like.

2. The requirements of each school and program are different. Ask the coordinator or any professor in the department about the score requirement of they are not published online.

3. Yes. You can apply to graduate school with those scores. But then, see number 1.

Cheers!

Edit: Apparently, someone else has answered this. I never knew at the time of writing this.

Refused admission or entry to the US is different from refused visa...... so your answer is NO

In the US sometimes you can not answer with on response because different states can have slightly different rules ..... some states can accept this temporarily others wont.... at the end of the day the focus should be getting your U.S. valid driver's license.

For international drivers license i would say . What state will u be based then we can check if it stated online if its allowed . Tried to check your previous posts but one minute you mention Illinois then next you calling Florida

Well not to bad mouth my precious country....but Nigeria is not an organise society and there is a lot of extortion going on sadly ..although there still are a lot of good and trust worthy Nigerians

As for why you were not given the 2 months initally... sure in order to make you pay twice. Is that right nope but it does happen in this side of the world. We have a missing president and we are a developing nation so please bear with us cheesy . I get headache after a week in naija . For answers to your questions, someone in your team needs to liaison with nigerian or US immigration services. That the best source to respond

Quit this chest beating and ignorant attitude.
Government issued ID's whether a passport or DL cannot be applied for legally using proxys, third party or agent. Your mum did not do right.Shikena!

So when others are trying to " cheat" the system to get to the USA (totally inappropriate too) don't always be the first to cast a sanctimonious stone

Am sorry to say, there is no point in what you are saying.. Don't be too forward to judge. just take your time and read her comment, except maybe you don"t understand English my 2cent.

please everyone in the house, I need your help.
After paying my visa fee, I went to ds160 site to generate an application id, answered a security question and left the site. I used this detail (my application id) to schedule my visa appointment. Now coming back to ds-160 site to complete my form I was told to provide the first 5 digits of my surname and my year of birth as part of my security answers which was not required as at then and I didn't even fill anything on that page. My interview comes up on 1st August. Please and please help a brother here.

If it happened today there isn't much you can do aside rescheduling your appointment. Because it takes 3 working days to recognise a profile update. But when rescheduling ensure you are careful as that is your last chance.

Before you waste your money, make sure the state you are going to will accept international drivers license. Check with the motor vehicle department of each state you will drive in for its requirements. Not all states accept this. Some states will require that, in addition to a valid license from Nigeria. Additionally states like New york will require your license + a simple exam to get an american license so international license is not that important. In some states like North Carolina If you don't plan to buy a car soon, getting a license shouldn't be important on your financial priority list because you will need to show proof of valid vehicle insurance before you can get a license except you want the restricted license which allows you to drive ONLY rental cars. Just find out details about all this in the state you are going too, each state different rules.

You didn't even bother to acknowledge the responses to your first question or at least thank those who took time to answer... you simply plumbed to your next question. Don't be surprised that most folks simply ignored it. Can you do anything for yourself?
