I wish there was a blind app for African immigrants or black people in Tech.Since ,the Chinese have their own called 1point3acres.com and unofficially blind now belongs to the Indians.
If you go to 1point3acres.com,your mind will be blown away,they have all the questions to be asked during interviews at specific companies and cheat sheets.Also,people referred themselves to each other’s company.

@MackyNaija,i feel like blind is too toxic,people there are always complaining about DEI in tech but there are few blacks so I don’t know their anger.Also,Indians dominate and have hijack that app.

The problem is my wife lives and work in philly. So just moving to go school in a marriage that we have barely spent 2 months straight in the last 4 years. So my sentiments are if i can pursue a second degree in Philadelphia, then i can know i have a stand too for prospective tech works. I like dollar too ooo

Georgia Tech's OMCS Program (https://omscs.gatech.edu/) is entirely online and is just $7000 for a masters degree in CS. Since you have an undergraduate degree in CS.You can find a job if you're good at coding.For FAANG jobs ,you must be good at leetcode(https://leetcode.com/discuss/general-discussion/460599/blind-75-leetcode-questions)

Please tell me the name of the school so that I can tell my Ghanaian driver to register his kids free. Liars everywhere.[/quote]Adisadel College in Cape Coast is free,tell your driver to send his kid there,if they are smart.
Either your driver lies to you or you have an axe to grind.
I went to elementary and junior high in school in Ghana back in the early 2000s for free and not a penny was taken from me.

Kindly cancel Penn State University for now.. They wont issue i20 to Nigerian students until you make deposit for 1 full academic year including i.e Living Expenses + Tuition.

Try and apply to University of Michigan,Ann Arbor have good engineering program and their career service center is really good at linking well paid jobs to students.

omoluabiguy:
That's a wrong information. You should read the article before posting it

is not wrong information ,this is just recent and cover all non visa waiver countries
What i included is the original memo sent to the embassies .
Here is the same news reported by reuters and nytimes:

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-immigration-visas-exclusive-idUSKBN16U12X


https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/23/us/politics/visa-extreme-vetting-rex-tillerson.html

Is not only those six banned countries but all non visa waiver embassies worldwide and even told not to offered interview above 120 per day.

ponpon:
I'm very sure you didn't read this... Don't dissipate unnecessary fear....

which part didn't i read well ,please tell me , just read the article on New York times and wanted people to know.
If i didn't comprehend ,kindly tell me ?

Also be prepared to surrender your social media accounts or random phone search according to the leaked memo

Peace to all!

Please everybody going to the interview ,should prepare well,since there is going to be a lot of visa refusals based on the memo sent by the Secretary of State to all embassies in African and Middle East.

So happy to be part of this forum. Very informative..... Can someone give a comment about commonapp.org coz I intend using them my schools selection

I recently used it for transfer admissions to Umich ,Cornell and Johns Hopkins.It helps you to apply to many schools within one portal but be prepared to write much personal essays .

slimmy2005:
are we talking about the need for evaluations or the means? In as much as your grades are not from US or Canada, you sure need an evaluation. But most schools do evaluate themselves with no fee attached. Well, it's clear when you can equate the level of education with the response.

You are still a high school graduate, so I'm not surprised at your response. You will understand better when you land here, that is if Trumps VO are meeciful enough to act right

When I applied to University of Michigan,they asked for confirmation of results from Waec directly,I guess evaluations was done in house .

Anyone at University of Michigan,Ann Arbor?
Need information about off campus housing.

Those coming ,please study a little before you reach POE ,lol
