imperiouxx: For real yo, ivy league schools are very very stingy with funds. In fact, most top schools are stingy with funds. |

ukemnseg: Hello, Apply to three ivy league schools Three "New ivies" Stanford, Emory, Duke etc Apply to two safety schools that will surely give you full scholarship. Chinese and Indians will apply but guess what they have to be diverse in their admissions decisions so since you're black and you are clearly very bright, you stand a very good chance of getting in. Hopefully, other aspects of your application stand out as well. Goodluck. It's worth the shot. Why are you thinking of a visa now? Get admission first. 1 Like |

imperiouxx: Very true. Now, it seems there's a clause. If a company files for you and you don't stick with them and change jobs before they complete the green card paper work which can take 5 years, if you leave the job, the h1b application will be void even if you've worked 4.5years / 5. Once you leave the job, the new company has to restart the process. |

Fortissimo: Cool MSU! It's a solid place man. I've been to Starkville it's a nice town. Low crime, maybe a bit boring. What's unr? Tulsa is in Oklahoma. Almost the same thing. Farm states. Let me echo what Msnas said a few days ago. Funding is the key. If you get funding in Alaska. Go. Lol Studying without funding is hell. |

Fortissimo: I will advice you to come to MS. It's a great place to get a solid education and you can do whatever you want after school. . Forget about Jackson. That's two and a half hours away. However, If your school is in Jackson. Guess what, people live in Detroit, Michigan and Baltimore, Maryland and they're more dangerous than Jackson Imperiouxx schooled in new Mexico. He's in new York now. Be wise bro. 'll reply your pm later. |

Mekurexx: You do realize that education and work are two different things right? Be focused and be safe ? Lol. Have you been to the south? You're in Nigeria analyzing the US. For the record, aside from Jackson which has unique problems, I don't see much of a difference between most southern states. Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee all look the same to me. You never come America and you're selecting state. Looooool. Don't always give advice when you've not experienced it it's just wrong. 1 Like |

imperiouxx: I've never been to Jackson. Lol. I'm actually closer to Memphis Tennessee than Jackson. It's cheap here, I must say. The stipends go far here and that's very good for student life. The thing is that there's a high African American population here and the difference between the quality of life of the two racial groups is very high. Sad but true Well, I'll do my time and bounce. I actually like the state in some aspects though. Maybe it's growing on me. |

Anthocracy: Just because of the sheer incoherence of what you posted, I looked up your profile. In one post you said you graduated with medical lab science, in another post you graduated from delsu with computer science. Now, you got admission to do medicine in the US. Before I even talk about the rigorous nature of us medical schools admission, the exams you have to write aren't readily available in Nigeria. How did you get admission without writing the exams?? Only you know the game you're playing, don't expect us to buy it. 4 Likes |

rogerdavid: @amanze15 Try to avoid giving advice based on a single experience and then generalizing it. It's morally wrong to say students try to set TA's up for failure. Why would they do that? Even if they did, doesn;t mean that's the way students behave everywhere in all schools in the US. Come on man. I been a TA , i have been an RA. I had fun doing both and i enjoyed it. Students were nice and courteous. Try to give advice devoid of your personal opinions because you risk biasing someone's experience. 3 Likes |

godG MsNas I think a fundamental piece of the puzzle being left out of this funding debate is the actual credibility and INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY of the said person seeking funding To future applicants, No school in the US is going to go all out to fund you if you don't show a very good intellectual capability. That goes without saying. Your test scores have to be good and every other aspect of your application has to be great as well. Also, ability to carry out research is important.I can say this most guys on nairaland who got funding didn't get their schools by typing "SUGGEST SCHOOLS FOR ME" here on nairaland. They actually went online and did some good research which pretty much forms the basis of a good graduate career. Ability to do research. Also research your school!, check the weather(There are tons of apps to do this), diversity(if you care about that), cost of living, tuition fees. No one on nairaland can help you unless they are in the same school which is not so common. Also, funding opportunities are most times given by the DEPARTMENT /PROGRAM and not as a school wide decision. Get in touch with the program chairs of the department you wish to apply to , write them an email. This is the first step. If you need any help along the way, there are lots of guys here to give you a helping hand. Be it with SOP or logistics or just good ol' advice but please be capable of doing some research on schools and make sure you ace your standardized tests. Bests to all applicants. 6 Likes |

The only colder states I can think of are maybe North Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, Maybe Maine/Vermont. But yeah Wisconsin definitely ranks up there. I can't believe someone compared the weather up there with the south. That's plain ignorance. That guy is a troll don't feed him. 1 Like |
