Hi.

Please how long did it take you to receive a decision on your application?

I applied for fall 2022.

Nanthediverse:
I just got admission from University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. The next step is visa and this is my 3rd time. Been denied 2 times and I'm 20yrs old. This time around it's not my parents who is sponsoring me. During lockdown last year we were doing community services, teaching kids how to read and write in the villages and this actually got me a full time scholarship from my local government to do my bachelor's in economics abroad. How do I go about it? I'm happy and confused.
What paperwork do I need to get from the local government while going for interview?
Or should I inform the school that the government is sponsoring me?

Chynwem:
yes I am

Please once you have traveled on Friday, do update us here if you were asked for proof of fully vaccinated status, either by the airline or at the port of entry.

Safe flight!

Can we chat outside this forum, please?

Great job bro! Your contributions here are the best. Can you believe I read all your posts? I once asked about MBA programs in affordable schools for a younger cousin of mine and you mentioned SAU.

I would like an honest opinion from you. Firstly, will 6M be just enough to cover for both tuition and living expenses (including medical insurance)for the first year?

6m is about 12k usd. For a school like SAU, it should be sufficient if he registers 6 credits per semester. Graduate course cost about $440/credit

Secondly, are tuition fees paid per semester or yearly? Someone mentioned that the school compels students to pay complete tuition for the first year.
Tuition can be paid at once, or as monthly installments using nelnet loans.

Thirdly, the juicy part. Are on-campus jobs very competitive? What’s the percentage chance that he will get a job within 3 months of resumption?

For a school like SAU, on campus jobs are on first come, first serve and students with no scholarship / funding have higher priority. The jobs are mostly available during fall. From resumption, he should avail himself at international student office for vacancies

Fourthly, speaking from experience, would you advise him to take a chance and travel to the US with his limited funds?
I have seen Alot of folks dropping out after first semester, many end up with poor grade due to struggles to pay bills. I have seen many who ended up out of status. Bottom line, it's difficult to survive in the US as a student with limited funds, no scholarship and no backup plan. My backup plan was freelancing which was paying me already before leaving naija.


Lastly, is it cheaper to have on-campus accommodation? Between on and off-campus boarding, which would u recommend? Does accommodation comes with furniture?
On campus is better because you are closer to the school which saves you cost of transportation or buying car, but it is expensive compared to off campus. And during holidays, you expected to vacate campus accommodation or pay extra to stay while on off campus, na your house. Nobody fit pursue you.

As for the furniture. Most accommodation comes with furnitures, some don't. On campus has furnitures. Just come with your bags and cloths



Looking forward to your response.

Apologies for the late response, just settling in a new job, that's why I have been away for a while.

But your school is resuming on the 13th as you said in your earlier post. That means your interview is a day after your program start date

Did your school give you extension letter ?

Decision comes around match

Thank you sir. Again, My Status is reading "Awaiting materials" even tho I have completed all apps. Is that normal?

Hello everyone,

Please can someone help review my DS 160. Thanks in advance

Timotte:


Apply with the 304 score. Your GRE isn't the only thing that is assessed on your application. You have a good GPA. What you need is to get very strong recommendation letters (not the typical ones written by most lecturers). The recommendation letters should be personal and give examples of attributes that are stated in the letter. I can send you a sample of a strong engineering recommendation letter if you need one. Additional, have a well written personal statement that clearly outlines your research interest(s). If you have any publication, it can further strengthen your application. But if you don't have any, it wouldn't harm you either. I have a friend who had a WES evaluated GPA of 3.11 and a GRE score of 294 who got admitted to the chemical engineering masters program at the University of North Dakota with full tuition waiver and a graduate research assistantship for Spring 2022 (he got his visa yesterday). He had very strong recommendation letters and a well written personal statement that strengthened his application.

Pls do u have a strong recommendation letter for a Masters in Construction Management, I'll send an email to you
