This platform has indeed been helpful to many of us. Thank you to everyone who has contributed and still contributing.

I am married(female) with a Son and have been working for up to 6years. I have applied to severally universities in the US for MSC and PhD in Chemistry/Biochemistry for fall 2022. I would like to know if;
1. Self sponsor is a red flag especially if I have full funding
2. My son is 2years old and I plan to leave him in Nigeria with my mum. Is this a red flag as well?
3. What duration of bank statement is required for proof of fund for the purpose of admission and visa?
4. If my account balance is equal to my Cost of study( for the purpose of admission), will it affect my chances of getting admission?

Please I really need your advice and suggestions. Thank you

abdullahi45:


@ abdullahi45 Thanks a lot. I’m applying for BCH or CHM as well and I’m interested in the direct PhD. Which school pls….?

You can check the Chemistry and Biochemistry Departments at Virginia Tech. Would you be up for a direct PhD program? I have a friend who got direct PhD admissions with his BSc degree. Also check Marquette University, UTSA and U of South Carolina
All the best.

If you mean sevis fee, I'll advise you don't try it. The sevis fee someone intended to pay for me using money order is yet to reach its destination after 2 weeks. I had to pay another sevis fee using western union.

Lekiboboe:

You are welcome Chief.

At this period, many Graduate Positions in Canadian Universities for Fall 2021 intake are 75% closed, only advertised Graduate positions by some Professors are still available but very competitive and not advisable to go for, cos if you are accepted, due to the Canadian Study Visa Processing time for Nigerians its very likely you not be able to meet up with resumption for FALL 2021.

That been said, try to Focus your attention on Fall 2022 intake , & start cold mailing them by July 2021 upward, Professors do respond well to cold mail during that period. January 15 of every year is the deadline some Canadian & U.S Universities give out Fully-funded Graduate offers for Qualified Candidates.

I would post Some some result-oriented COLD MAIL SAMPLES for Prospective Graduate Students tomorrow here on the platform. You can use it to revamp your initial cold mails

Lekiboboe:

Hi

I don't know the reason why your focus for grad. School is on Usask alone, there are loads of Supervisors with research areas in Food Science and Technology located in other Canadian Universities. Avoid putting all your eggs in one basket.

A Factor that might have caused the supervisor not to respond to your mail might be the content of the mail you sent to them. When mailing a Prof. the COLD MAIL approach is the best way. You stand a chance of getting a response from a Prof. when you send him/her a non-generic Cold Mail.

To mail a Prof. look out for their respective RESEARCH AREAS in Food Science, if you see the ones that aligns with your RESEARCH INTERESTS/PRIOR RESEARCH EXPERIENCE/BACKGROUND, send a non-generic COLD MAIL to them each.

Note:
You must have a Canadian Style Academic CV & Research Interests before sending a Cold mail to a Professor.

Don't settle for less, your CGPA is a strong one, and you stand a chance of getting accepted in a PROFS. Lab, you just need to package your documents well so can be able to submit a strong and airtight application which can be make you more competitive, cos there are some applicants with more higher CGPA, Research Experience, Laboratory skill sets than yours.

Go through the contents in the link below thoroughly, then relate it to your field of study (FOOD SCIENCE) and research interests as it relates to your field of study/Academic Background/prior research experience. There are helpful information, documents & videos that can be of massive help to you e.g how to draft a Cold Mail, Sample Academic CV (CANADIAN STANDARD), how to search for PROFESSORS Who has Research Areas aligning with your field of study/research interest etc.

https://www.nairaland.com/6321900/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/561#101054570

As a Prospective Graduate Student (Masters), you need to have the following documents to kick start your GRADUATE SCHOOL JOURNEY in CANADA

- Academic CV (Well drafted Canadian Style Academic CV)
- Transcript (get the student Copy from your school)
- Cold Mail (To be drafted & sent to each professors based on their research areas)
- Statement of Purpose (SOP) for GRADUATE School (not SOP for Visa Application)
- Cover Letter (if required)
- Published Thesis (might be helpful) but not Compulsory etc.

There are GRADUATE SCHOLARS on this platform, If you have further questions along the line, do ask

Note: Your target should be for FALL 2022 (September 2022) or WINTER 2022 (JANUARY), so you can begin now in advance by getting your Transcript (Student Copy), Drafting your Academic CV, sending Cold Mails to Professors in Research Areas related to your Research Interests.

If you package your graduate application well i.e Sending a banging Cold mail to Professor of Food Science in Canada, A good Statement of Purpose (SOP) for Admission etc., you stand a chance of getting a Fully-funded or Partially funded Masters graduate opportunity in Food Science
