Good morning guys. I was asked research interest but I never had any in mind. Should I search for the research areas of the faculty members in the department or I should do my research independently?

A good way to approach this is to think about what interests you in your field of study. It could be a topic you found interesting in one of your undergraduate courses that you will like to learn more about or a concept you think is worth your time pondering on. This will guide you as you use it in an inverted funnel way. You use that one thing and expand on it to find in what different ways you can explore it.

For example, I studied economics. One of the things that I found interesting was National Income right from High School. The reason was the effect Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) had on my family. That was a driving force that led me into thinking I would want to understand how policies are formulated better. Nonetheless, thinking about National Income, Per Capita Income, and the GDP of Nigeria; I thought it will be interesting studying how we might be able to use policy to improve the Oil and Gas sector which was/is our major source of income. Therefore, my research interest went in that direction.

I could think of National Income and think more about it from a GDP perspective and think of how Government can improve living standards. This might lead me into Macroeconomics and can guide me in the area of Taxation/Fiscal or Financial/Monetary Economics. It could at the same time make me think of how can we make our industries better perhaps, I am more interested in Economics from an individual/firm perspective and that could make me think of researching more in Industrial Economics to see how firms and individuals interact in the market space. I might also think about it from how government behaviors affects firms/industry decisions.

In essence, let your heart think of that one thing that fascinates you and let your imagination guide you as to what you really would want to ponder on and not get frustrated.

Hello house
I recently got admitted to New Mexico Highlands University for spring 2024 session.

I am yet to be issued an i20.
Pending the time the i20 is issued, is it advisable to start the visa application so I can start get an early interview date.
Or should i hold on till the i20 is issued.

NB;When I inquired on how soon I would be issued an i20,they said no established timeline for when i20 would be issued.
I would appreciate your response

You can start and update your DS-160 once you get the necessary information.

BigIyanga:


Spring 2024 ?

Yes,spring 2024

Emmatee1816:

Yes,spring 2024

You still have time

BigIyanga:

You still have time

If I am not mistaken,spring session is supposed to be January
That means I have less than 3months to apply and secure a visa date.
You can shed more light in your claims

If it's January date for start then I'd say get your interview date no. A Dec date would not be bad or a late November date

Why STEM?

If it because of the 3 years OPT, then you can apply to SLU’s MBA program as the program is STEM-certified. For other STEM certified programs for International students, Google “SLU Global Grads”

Please I need assistance.
I am currently looking for a course to apply for Masters in SLU Saint Louis University in the states.
I have been advised to do a STEM related course. However, my Bachelor degree is in Theatre Arts and I am currently working as a Customer care rep in a Telecom company at the moment.
Please I need advise on nice courses I can apply for that would grant post study visa and employment opportunities.

Hello, Please I have this student loan approved to the tone of 25kUsd. I am to submit this loan approval letter to my school to be included in the I-20. This loan will cover my total expense but I am worried how the VO will see the loan. Do you think is a good or bad signal that you might want to stay back in the US to be able to pay up your loan ( VO). I don't know if there is any testimony for or against having a student loan before going for ur Visa interview.
I am worried if am to decline or go on with the loan.

I am not sure the Visa Officer is concerned you are getting a loan to fund your studies. The important thing is being able to prove your intentions to study and vacate the US upon completion of your studies. By the way, you can pay up the loan during your OPT and STEM OPT if you land a good job and are not encumbered with other obligations.

Good morning everyone, please I need an honest answer. I am married and my husband is currently doing his PhD in the school that offered me admission, I'm to resume by spring of 2024, I haven't received my i20 yet. Please during the visa application and interview should I mention that I'm married? I heard mentioning that having a spouse or relative is a red flag. My documents still carry my name because I haven't done change of name yet, so please is there need to mention that I'm married?

Nozino:

Pls sir/ma I need those sch that can accept me via HND (upper) plsssss 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Please does anyone know if a Globus bank statement is accepted?

It is a dicey one however, there is nothing as good as been truthful.

What you could do is to explain you think this is the best time to go for graduate studies and also, you both can use this time to bond and upon completion of his studies, you plan to return to Nigeria.

You should be able to find this yourself as almost every university admits people with HND. Why not find the program that suits what you want and check their requirements? You can write to the office of international students of such universities and they will tell you if they take the raw transcript and evaluate it in-house or they need it evaluated by an evaluation body.

In my opinion, there is nothing like a tuition friendly school at graduate school level since interest is very key. You don't want to be frustrated while in school. Good side is every program has some form of funding and if you need more information, you could either write to the graduate program secretary/administrator or graduate program director of the program you are interested in.

They always respond to inquiries.

Please, can someone recommend me to anyone who writes a good academical CV?

And also, how many words are good for an ideal sop?

Why not do a personalized CV yourself?
Also, you can search and download CV app from Google Playstore.

For the SOP, some schools state the required format, number of words(like ≤ 500/750 words) or pages(1-2 pages) while others do not. You can verify from your school's website. But if it is not stated, it is good not to exceed 2 pages.
