please guy which usa school accept very low cgpa for admission like a 2.5/5 cgpa?

Try evaluating your transcript using WES. If it's falls between 2.5 - 2.7 Over 4.
Then check these schools. Though some of the admissions may be conditional.

Arkansas tech university
California state university East bay. - many of the other CSU variants too inclusive.
Jackson state university.
Pittsburgh state university
University of Arkansas.
University of Memphis
DePaul university.

Did you submit original copy of transcript to them?
Jukwasi:
Your welcome. If it is long you applied and they haven't started reviewing your application, do call them. This will hasten the process because they have lots of applicants from march 1st. All the best dear.

You should make sure you understand how this loan will work. As a foreign student, you are not eligible for a student loan. You would need a cosigner.

not all loans need a cosigner, there are some international student loans that you do not need a cosigner

See what I crossed out.

But first things first... your number one problem is likely to be your school of choice. The rest of your answers are way too elaborate... short and straight to the point should be your aim.

can one give reason for choosing a school as being:
1. the cheapest among the schools granted admission
2. the only school that gave you funding/scholarship assistance

Good day everyone. To those familiar with the Western Illinois University graduate assistantship application procedure, after submitting the 3 names of the recommenders who are to recommend me for an assistantship position, will the school email them directly asking for the recommendation letter or will I have to inform my recommenders to send their recommendation letters to a particular email address stated on the WIU graduate assistantship page/form?
Kindly treat as urgent,
Thank you.

The school didnt ask for their email bro, so i don't think they will be contacted.

If you have submitted your recommendation letters before for admission, you don't have to send it again. This is stated on the graduate assistantship application page.

I believe they only asked for their names so they could spool from their database sha.

So have you gotten admission decision now?

There are opened GA positions presently, why not apply to them directly.

Absolutely. I don’t think anyone would argue with you selecting one of many admissions you’ve received based on who offers you the best financial support. It’s honest and practical.

Ask your admissions coordinator. They will know how this is done for your program.

Hello guys. I got admitted to the Environmental Geoscience program at the University of Massachusetts Lowell as a GTA ($15k for summer, $5,5k as RA for the 3 summer months totalling $20,500 for stipends) with tuition waived and 80% of health insurance covered. However, I'm worried about the cost of living at Massachusetts. I learnt it's on the high side. Does anyone have an idea if this stipend would be able to sustain me there? considering that I might not be able to combine other hustles and the stipends will still be taxed.

Thank you for your reply, I will like to understand you better. I haven't submitted recommendation letters before, but I am currently filling the graduate assistantship form and I am expected to type in names of my 3 recommenders.
I guess, I would be the one to send the recommendation letters to WIU directly via email after receiving the letters from my recommenders, am I right?

I am yet to receive an admission decision from them. I applied for a Masters in Quantitative Economics.

I am interested in the opened GA positions, kindly navigate me to the page on their website.

Thank you.

http://www.wiu.edu/graduate_studies/positions.php That is the link for the opened positions.

I am yet to get admitted too, but I was privy to get some info when I was applying.

When I was applying, I sent a mail to the international admission office, copied the program director, copied some other persons too, I sha dey copy people dey go...lol

So each of them replied with the info I needed.

It was in one of their mails I was told to submit my recommendation letters too.

So I submitted my recommendation letters along with my application.

Yes, I sent my letters via email to them.

Some programs are more competitive than others..

I just sent a reminder to the coordinator now, see the response..

You need to do WES evaluation. It will be around 2.7/4.0 after evaluation. Check out Bowie State University and Morgan State University. Their minimum required GPA for admission is 2.5/4.0.

Hi guys, I need your help! I scheduled VISA interview with an old SEVIS ID - I thought the SEVIS ID wouldn't change with a new I-20 - Now, I have a new I-20 with a different SEVIS ID. I realized I cannot update the new sevis ID on my account. What can I do? Searched online, I was told to go for the interview with both Sevis payment receipts. My interview is on the 6th of May!
