Good Morning, I need your advice.
I have admission offer of MSc from a University in Ohio. The offer is with GTA, therefore it is fully funded (full tuition waiver) and a generous monthly stipends. I have to provide for health insurance, mandatory fees and upkeep. The total amount I need to show is $6k. I have well over this amount in my statement. Also, I have a B1/B2 which is still valid for over a year now. Please what are:
1) My chances of obtaining F1 visa
2) Has anyone with full funded admission letter being declined before.
Thanks

First off congrats on the offer. You've done a good job to land such a good offer.

Secondly,
If you have to show $6K then it's not fully funded. Fully funded means you're not going to show anything at the consulate because the total amount you're being offered exceeds your requirement. This includes health insurance, fees, housing etc.

Either way, People with funding(partial or full) get visas sharply barring a major eff up. Besides you have a valid visa. You shouldn't have any problems. Work on your confidence and you'll be fine. Good luck.

I would be cautious with such recommendations cos level of intelligence, familiarity with the subject matter and learning capacities vary widely with individuals. A score of 321 (thats about 75th percentile) with a month of preparation simply means that your friend is indeed extremely intelligent and has some unstated advantages - strong background in maths & verbal as well as good testing skills. My point is before making such recommendations, be mindful that all fingers are not equal then give realistic estimates. If the individual is a quick learner, fine, the estimate would hold. However, if the individual requires a bit more time to learn the material, you estimate would also account for that. I don't know about you, but i usually recommend at LEAST two months of intensive study. This is not a declaration just an estimate based on observation and multiple experiences from multiple sources. One can do well with less or more time. It all depends on the individuals learning capacity.

Exactly!!!!!!!

This thread dey fly these days sha.
Whew

@whitefriars
I actually thought I was giving you brotherly advice.
Seems you spurned it.

Sorry I commented on your case. As I felt the obligation to clear your rather glaring misconception.

Next time I'll be more careful whom I try to give useful info here. Not every one appreciates it.
Enjoy.

whitefriars:

I didn't attack you bro seriously.

Mbeenox and urch1980

Congrats to you two!!!
Go flourish

DARKLIGHT:
Boss, please kindly post your transcript. Interview transcripts are like lights that illuminate where there is darkness and doubts.

Guy you dey mind am? He even came to ask more questions. Imagine. Lool.

Selfish people everywhere.

whitefriars:
Which one is permanent Visa pleas explain? me its school i want to go and school and use the experience for my company which i have incorporated here in naija, as i love to be in the Lab. I got for delaware and Clarkson and i heard clarkson is one of the best engineering schools in the USA even though its a private and expensive school but am willing to give it a short believing to work hard and get my grades up to be able to get better financial aids.

@bolded
Says who? It's not even in top 50. Neither is it top 100. It ranked 111 according to US news. The most authoritative source for school ranking. Certainly not a school to spend hard earned dough on.

Besides, don't hope on a private school giving funding. They rarely give full and even the balance is usually too steep. Only a select few elite private schools can give few funding. Clarkson is not one.
Bros find another school and do well on GRE and get funding if you can

oyeg:
Hello Friends,

Thanks for your usual help on this forum.

I got my visa approved last week Wednesday. The VO asked me to pick up the approved visa tomorrow but I haven't received any sms from the collection centre yet.

Is it oK if I check the collection centre tomorrow morning.

Thanks.

You didn't post your transcript for others to learn and you're even here to ask more questions.
Mscheew.
Selfishness is bad.

Stewee:
Hahahahahahahahahaah
You funny bruh but we really can't be laughing at someone's misfortune.

The last thing I'll ever do is to check in my documents ... I trusted them at MMIA with common stock fish and indomie and they disappointed me, so NO!

Caution should be our watchword!

Looool they stole your stock fish?
These guys sha

Zeezahbee

Boss lady!!! how far.
How's pharmacy school?
Do you know much about this fpgee and naplex exam.
A friend here is disturbing my life. I told her to write exam to be a pharm tech first and later find her feet within the profession.
I hope I advised her well sha. Just want a second opinion because I read she has to repeat internship and the quality of our medical /rx schools can't compete with theirs there if she wants to enter the profession directly without being in the system for a short time. She's smart tho. Pharm salaries start at >110K with benefits . but tech is like 40-50k.

She got a migrant visa.

DeeTus:
Bro, she only needs one way ticket oh.

Pls which hotel they lodged ur sis? So that niggas will avoid it too.

Someone is asking me now the name of the hotel.

You quoted the wrong person. Lol

efizzy22:
Hi house, plz if I buy round way ticket, how can I sell the return ticket when I get there. As a student for long-term course is it bad traveling wit one-way ticket?... plz doz that is already in the U.S answer me. Thanks

Why did you buy round ticket as a student?
You get money o

mbeenox:
Lol, I'm thinking of wearing a short sleeve button shirt n jeans

You could add a jacket to look more professional.
As we call it packaging. But don't overdo with the tie thing.
You'll be fine.
Good luck

mbeenox:
Still wondering if I should wear shirt n knot Tie for my visa interview. Is it necessary?

LOL. No need for a tie. You could keep the jacket though.

I wore jeans and sneakers.

Stewee:
Nice!
Fort Laud is a lil cheaper than miami...
Don't worry very soon you'll discover how staying at home and saving money can be so much fun!
Don't go wasting your money sipping mojito's at the beach when a bottle of gatorade can give you the same fun.
...12hours of studying? Damn tho! Whatever works for you bruh!

Sup bro. Coming in through Miami POE. How's the POE??

Besides,
How did you cope with the 9 hour layover in Doha.
I'm anticipating an agonizing wait.

mbeenox:
Texas, I found another on campus apartment n that 1is $529 per month 2bedroom apart, centennial court

Seems OK. What utilities does it cover?

buzibiza:
@Ctemi, Medicine is a 2nd degree program in the US as u hv to do a bachelors degree in Premed, or other basic science courses. Medical school is however very difficult to get into as u have to maintain and graduate with a very high GPA. Some schools do not admit non-residents to their program. Most Nigerians that go for their first degrees so that they can do medicine afterwards don't end up being medical doctors. I had about 8 friends in secondary school leave to the US, only one got in. I dont want to discourage u tho.

I am a doctor but studied in Nigeria bt I will advice u go directly to medical school in the Caribbean or Eastern Europe then take the USMLE exams to get into residency which would be quicker and more economical since the final price is working as a doctor in the US. I am going for my masters in Public health bt will switch into a residency program when am through with my exams. Good luck on ur choice tho...

Got friends currently doing residency through this route.
Their advice might be helpful. PM me.

It's not so easy doing residency in the US, honestly I know what they went through before getting placements. And not all of them did. But those that did, are big boys

buzibiza:
it would be difficult unless after some form of aids like scholarships or graduate assistantships. I advice in addition to his GPA which would be converted by WES, he should also have good standardized test results, recommendation letters, and statement of purpose. He needs to thoroughly go thru the schools in "www.ceph.org/accredited". However some unaccredited schools could be cheaper... University of Kent and one other. Will post when I confirm.

It's not advisable for anyone to attend an unaccredited program just because it's cheap.
It's the persons loss after graduation

zeezahbee:
No, it's hard to get such

Better write GRe and get some assistant.

@bbdd

Excatho
You'll get cheap mph programs you can even write usmle, if you pass and get residency position you're made for life.

Write gre, pass WELL and get some tuition rebate.
Goodluck

SO THAT MAN JUST DISAPPEARS INTO THIN AIR JUST LIKE THAT ABI?

the thunder that will fire him is still receiving training

Reminds me of my service year.
75% of the men run away when the wife is about to give birth.

They only resurface a week after delivery when state govt has taken care of the bills.

Sad phucks

Thank God for his mercies

godG:
You sounded like maami. But really, why should I get someone that understands me who my just end up not appealing? For me though, the whole relationship shiiit is overrated o jare. Women are a complex set of people. Reality isn't always attractive to them.

Hiann
You never ready. Lol

godG:
Hahahaha. Can't a young guy dream anymore? Who knows, you could work something out for me with your younger sis? How do you do, bro?

Good. Quarter to movement.
Just get a babe who understands you and whom you understand. All these body, religious na story o

godG:
Subjective. For me, she should be intelligent, religious, and posses a spanking hot body. Yes. Unfortunately, getting a lady with the blend of these is like looking for a Virgin in the city.

religious and possesses a spanking body? Lool
Good luck with that.

stevecrun:
you very right,I was asked series of questions by Qatar immigration officers when connecting out of Qatar..my visa was put through a light beam to verify if it was fake or original.POE at New York don't ask anything,they just asked for my i20 and wished me safe and we'll.

Qatar people what's their business with US visa sef . When they see Nigerians their antennae will be sharp. Mscheew
