Someone has suggested he mail the school. But if there is no financial aid from the school for him, what's your advise? Kill himself on top bills or take up huge loan? Harvard isn't the only top school in USA. There are many others that will offer him full ride scholarship. He is brilliant and with his grade that got him into Harvard, he will definitely get full scholarship from other schools if nothing comes from Harvard. My advise is against attending the school without any form of assistance as he can't foot the bills alone by working and studying.
I got you.

How did he get his i20 without providing proof to show he has funds. I know they don't release i20 without seeing proof of available funds.
Proof of funding is somewhat insignificant to big schools like Harvard. They are more concerned about admitting the best and suitable students. Harvard has the ability to guarantee financial aid for admitted students based on needs assessment, and remember most students at Harvard are from the top 1% family income size.

Falling out of status means you are no longer in school and illegal in the USA. Harvard school fees is very expensive and it's not what you can work and pay. Please search for schools that will give you scholarship if you can't get a sponsor to Harvard university.
Are you seriously asking him to dump Harvard admission for a lower ranked university because of funding? Rather, I think he should contact Harvard financial office for funding opportunities and I'm certain he will be considered, especially if the admission was based on merit. Harvard has the biggest endowment as compared to any university in United State.

CrimeChurch Pastor, Wife, Convicted Of Defrauding Congregation In Nigerian Oil Scheme by 7rewards(op): 5:57am On Dec 20, 2017
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A Virginia pastor and his wife have been convicted of defrauding members of their congregation and investors in a Nigerian oil scheme.

Fifty-three-year-old Terry Wayne Millender and 57-year-old Brenda Millender were convicted by a federal jury Monday of a $2 million fraud scheme, according to the United States Attorney's office for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Terry Millender is the former senior pastor of Victorious Life Church in Alexandria.

Prosecutors said the couple recruited investors for companies they said provided small loans to poor people in developing countries and helped broker Nigerian oil deals. Prosecutors said the Millenders used investor money to pay for golf trips, a birthday party, and to help purchase a $1.75 million home.

The Millenders are set to be sentenced in March.

“It didn't really come as a shock—it was more of a sigh of relief,” congregation member Eric Brown told Fox 5 after the couple’s 2016 arrest. “I asked him like, ‘Hey, that's a nice car.’ He said, ‘Yeah, $100,000 car. If you save up your money, God's going to bless you.’ Come to find out now, it was actually part of our money.”

According to the Alexandria Times, the couple will be sentenced on March 30. Co-conspirator Grenetta Wells was convicted of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. She’ll be sentenced Jan. 12.

George Mason University - Funding Opportunities for Applicants

The following faculty are seeking qualified Graduate Assistants to assist in their research efforts. Eligibility is contingent upon admission and enrollment into our PhD in Public Policy program.

Naoru Koizumi has various domestic and international (UK, Turkey and India) projects that assess health/medical policies affecting patients with chronic diseases. These projects often involve intensive quantitative analysis requiring the application of techniques from statistics, geography (Geographic Information System (GIS)) and mathematical operations research (OR). The research team, consisting of statisticians, mathematicians, social workers, medical doctors, and computer scientists, wishes to work with PhD students who have good working knowledge of GIS, statistics and/or OR techniques and want to extend their knowledge to effectively analyze health/medical policy topics. The students will be expected to work in a multidisciplinary setting and will get exposure to medical topics and community involvement. We are particularly interested in those who are interested in care provisions for diabetes, end-stage kidney and liver disease patients. Doctoral program applicants with similar interests should contact Dr. Koizumi nkoizumi@gmu.edu prior to their application.

John Earle is an empirical micro-economist who uses econometric methods to analyze large databases in order to analyze policy-relevant questions, including program evaluation. His projects include both U.S. and international research, much of the latter in the East European and former Soviet economies. Many of the projects use firm-level data to investigate questions such as the effects of privatization and foreign direct investment, the patterns and determinants of new business start-up and growth, and the dynamics of productivity and business entry and exit. Students working on these projects typically have some previous training in economics and econometrics, but motivated students can remediate those skills while at Mason, and all students have the opportunity to develop them further. Applicants with such interests are encouraged to contact Professor Earle earle@gmu.edu prior to submitting their application.

lol........ you funny ooo. You aimed very high to pick Cornell an Ivy league school from community college . Do you have any idea how competitive it is to enter Cornell. It is possible but you have to be very good .

You say you were given admission to Cornell , Really shocked ....... .
Cornell is a glorified Ivy league. You can easily get accepted if you are self sponsored unlike other ivy leagues.

As an international student you need to think about life after F1 and also your chances of H1B for those who need or want to remain. H1B is competitive to get a company to sponsor u hence the quality of the school is vital and not the easy of getting admission that is vital . If a school is ranked at 173 in engineering do u really want to go there for engineering .

I would recommend you go and write GRE and aim for schools more highly ranked in Engineering and score high to aim for funding... After F1 years u will say i am glad someone in NL adviced me better

****Recent data analysis showed that Southern Illinois University Edwardsville area is relatively unsafe; the college is reported to have a rather poor rating for on-campus crime. Southern Illinois University Edwardsville engineering program ranks #173

EducationAnother Nigerian Teen Gets Accepted By All 8 Ivy League Schools by 7rewards(op): 3:08am On Apr 06, 2016
Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna of Elmont Memorial High School student has been accepted to all eight Ivy League schools. Uwamanzu-Nna was also accepted to the four additional schools to which she applied. The experience has been surreal, Uwamanzu-Nna said in a press release. “My recent accomplishments reflect the hardworking ideals of the town of Elmont, my supportive parents and my dedicated teachers. I am elated, but most importantly, I am thankful,” she said.
Last year, the Long Island high school’s salutatorian Harold Ekeh chose to attend Yale University after having his pick of all eight Ivy League schools. This year, Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna, Elmont’s valedictorian, will face the same decision.
Ekeh and Uwamanzu-Nna are both Nigerian. Ekeh was born in Nigeria and came to the United States when he was 8. Uwamanzu-Nna is the daughter of Nigerian immigrants. “Though I was born here in America, I visited Nigeria many times,” Uwamanzu-Nna told CNN affiliate WABC. “And I’ve seen that my cousins don’t have the same opportunities that I have. So definitely, whatever I do, I want to make sure that it has an impact on Nigeria.”
Uwamanzu-Nna plans to pursue a science-related major. She was a finalist in the 2016 Intel Science Talent Search for her research on cement that could help prevent underwater oil rigs from rupturing. On Monday, she received an invitation to the White House Science Fair. She is hoping to attend a school where she is able to combine her varied scientific interests, which include biochemistry and environmental studies, she said in the press release.
There are no secrets to academic success, she said. Her 101.64 weighted GPA was earned through hard work. “I’ve struggled with numerous classes in the past,” Uwamanzu-Nna told WABC. “But I guess what allowed me to be successful … is my persistence and my tenacity.” Uwamanzu-Nna hasn’t made a final decision on what school she will attend, but with acceptance to 12 schools, she has a tough decision to make.

There's a new redesigned SAT now (from March 2016), so you may have to do a little more research to prepare.

I'd suggest you use the Khan Academy test prep:
https://www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/new-sat

You should also read up the posts on Prepscholar (I found them quite useful):
http://www.prepscholar.com/sat/s/resources

Buy a SAT prep/study book (Kaplan or Barron's will do)

Finally, here's a link to the four official practice tests I used to prepare (for the old SAT):

Jchi9876:
if you confidently pull "transcripts" from here print it on a paper and have "mistakenly" amidst your visa paperwork and a consular office sees it what would you think his or her reaction will be?

are you aware that preping yourself albeit in a deceitful manner as such as soliciting, cramming, relying on other " successful" visa applicants interview sessions to get a visa is morally wrong and creates a bad impression?


Hmmm a word is enough for the wise



Be careful be street smart.

I am no guru, but I think the Visa Officer may have wondered why you would want to go for a postgraduate study in Occupational, Health and Safety, solely for the purpose of improving the standard of your Dad's company. A certification could suffice for this, in my opinion. You will have to be more [b[b]]introspective [[/b]/b]with your reply on why you have chosen that course.

All in all, I think you did good and anyone may have gotten visa with these same replies. However, I urge that you repackage, and be more introspective with your replies. Wish you the best.
