nelronaldo:
Good day house! Please i need your advice. I am trying to get into a school in US for my masters program. I researched top schools that offer the program i want to study and then settled for two. The two schools I have in mind have an acceptance rate of 59% and 63%. What are my chances of getting admitted with a GPA of 3.5? I wont be writing the GRE as it will be waived because I hold a terminal baccalaureate degree. Should I apply to more schools even when they are not so great in the program?

Most acceptance rates online are for undergraduate programs.

Acceptance and denial are made on comparative basis, though schools have minimum requirements. If your application is one of the strongest, your chances are higher and vice versa.

Applying to more schools is good because you will have more options.

Hello house!
My sevis fee receipt expired 24th July but i used it at the consulate before it expired and no issues were raised or whatsoever. I hope there won't be any problem at the POE?

This could be a problem.
Quickly send email to your school dso to be sure that your sevis is active.
If your sevis is not active, they will have to create a new sevis account and generate new ID for you. And probably you will have to pay another sevis fee and possibly get another I-20.
Anyhow, contact them sharply. It is a big deal

Hello great people,

I will be going to New Orleans, Louisiana but my ticket has a 15hr layover at Newark, New Jersey before connecting with united airline to New Orleans

1. Will I have to Pass through immigration at Newark before connecting with united?

2. Where will I spend the 15hrs?

3. Where will be my POE?

Thanks for your nice anticipated responses

Yes you will clear with immigration at Newark.
I guess You will spend it anywhere you want in the US because you would have been cleared and stamped in by the cbp. But it will be good you stay in the airport so you can make your connecting flight. Remember you will still have to check your luggage in all over again for your United Airline connecting flight
Your POE is Newark.

It would be better to have your interview in Gambia.

I don't think you'll have any issues at your POE. Mine was due to expire 23rd July, my interview was on 22nd July. No issues were raised regarding it at my POE.

I can't figure out what the problem is with your enquiry.
Have you booked an appointment for the F-1 visa?
I do have friends who got approved after several refusal of the Canadian visa.
Also, you sound like you don't know more about this school you're going to, the school is Western Illinois University and not University of Western Illinois... I don't think there's such school in Illinois.
Sincerely, I don't see what issues you've got but to prepare fine for your interview and be favoured.

Oh yes, the school is western illinios university. I am expecting my i20 this week,
Classes are supposed to start August 20. My first issue is 1) i didnt write gre cos it is not required , i dont know if it will be a problem
2) i applied to 2 schools new york university accelerated second degree in nursing but they didnt give me admission and western illinois uni for msc in health sci conc. in public health, hope the vo wont question the disparities in the program
3) will i still be able to get interview date and meet up with resumption

1. Doing the GRE makes your profile look good to the VO, it depicts that you're ready for graduate studies but if it'll affect your visa chance, it's based on the VO's discretion.
If you've paid for the visa, you can log into the CGI portal and book an earlier date before 10th August preferably (if you're certain that your I-20 will arrive before the end of this week)
2. I don't know what disparities you are talking about but you can apply to different programs in different schools. In your case, what the VO want to know is if your undergraduate degree is related to what you want to go study in the graduate school. "Did you do an undergraduate course that is related to Health Science"? If YES, you don't have anything to be worried about. If NO, have a reason for the switch to Health Science.
3. You can get an earlier date if you give the website a close monitoring. A date between 6-10 August WILL open for a slot or two.
Bless!

The first page is all you need and No! Your parents/ guardian doesn't need to sign it except if you're under 18. The information is explicit enough.

Baba nla, how far? Nothing to worry about bro. Just have your connecting ticket handy. BTW, isn't a road trip of 23hours too long?

Good. Send an email to the school tomorrow and ask if a soft copy of ur I-20 could be sent to you, for you to be able to pay SEVIS fee and visa fee.
