Hi I attend UTD enrolled in fall 2018, a studio apartment is almost impossible for 500$ around Richardson, best bet is to get a shared apartment. I can link you up with shared apartment WhatsApp groups mostly for Indians though
You can get a car for between $4k and $5k, I am here if you have any more questions.

Hi
I have some questions but I am not sure if this is the appropriate thread for it. Forgive me if it's wrong, or help me if you can please.

I will be attending UTDallas in the fall and I am currently making up my budget.

1. Will it be possible to get a studio apartment for $500 a month in that area? Or do I have to get a shared apartment for that price range?

2. Is it possible to get a car for $4k-$5k. A reliable one.

Thank you.

It looks okayish but if the bill on your i20 is high and you're sponsored by an uncle or aunt, then it might raise eyebrows.

I will be more comfortable with a public university in New Hampshire such as Keene State College, Plymouth State University and any of the Universities of New Hampshire.

Hello,

Please who else has difficulty logging into the Visa application page, it was not like that yesterday but now all it's telling me is login attempt failed that I should check to see if the username and password are correct. And I am sure it's correct.

I tried using the forgot password feature but I didn't get any email.

I just want to confirm if I am not alone or what can I do?

@jennybaybee

Nice transcript, I believe you tried writing answers to all possible questions. The only thing I can see about your transcript is that.

Since you said SNYU didn't accept you, I don't think the VO will ask you why you chose your school over SNYU again. Then the part about how your undergraduate relates to this course, you might have to work on that, I didn't quite understand what you wrote there.

That's my little contribution, all the best in your interview, don't forget to do mock interviews too.

You answer to Why GU is too generic , try and tailor your answer to your school , think of what peculiarity make the school different from others? Any research on going ? Are you in talk with any professor ?Is there any research lab or students initiative that interest you ? These and other features will make you arrive at a better answer to this question .

I will let the masters attend to this, but as an apprentice I have the following observations grin grin grin

1) You can't choose between two schools if one of them has rejected you.
2) "To identify the role that information and communication is a paper base test request system" There is no synergy between this response and microbiology.
3) "12 of August 2019/ 08 May 2019" These dates are not in order
4) "To have more opportunities to higher tiers employment, to become an expert and gain firsthand experience, to have sense of personal accomplishments, to also secure protection for career change." This sound like something you copied from somewhere, please don't be offended. It lacks personal touch or connection with YOU
5) "Yes I have a big family and they have been supportive and am going to certainly to miss them durning my studies buh I would make up for the loss time durning my holiday break" Is the additional information really necessary?
At the end of the day, it's not about big big grammar, it is about the power of conviction. Sometimes you just need few words/ sentences to make an impact.
I wish you well my friend, let's go get that visa grin

The money is huge o!

It is safer if your uncle or aunt is funding you after getting some form of Waiver. Else , it is hard to convince the VO that your uncle will cough out such sum for just a year to fund you.
So try to get some waiver .
