The end goal of doing an advanced degree, is to get returns.. Some courses in the US are just useless, money making mills to cough out money from international students... Even the natives, shy away from such courses because they add no monetary value later on.

FYI, STEM courses are the best.. If you're not in STEM, then try to do a MS. program that can be linked to STEM somehow. This increases your chances of funding as well as OPT extension after graduation, Green card (EB1-A &EB2-NIW) filing and many more.


Peace.

Yes 100% on point unless your parents are paying for it and you’re going back to Naija to head their company once you’re done

I think you stand a chance. All the best to us all.

Oh thank you. I applied for a PhD CS there.
No GRE, TOEFL
UG: 3.2/4

4 yrs work experience
Well written SOP
No publication
Any chances?

To tell you that they are after application fee, nothing else

resolution2020:
I had the same issue. I submitted my application there but I was surprised to got a rejection letter from them barely 24 hours that I submitted the application..

BigIyanga:
If they dont, why do they require your social media handle during application?

That portion of the DS160 is optional I guess. And that’s not used pre-interview. Most times the VO even opens your online profile while being interviewed.

shollyshine:
Pls I need an honest answer. Is it possible for someone studying in the us(masters) to travel back to Nigeria to attend some important function and also travel back without having an issues.

For sure, with a valid visa you can. Update your i20 too to show you’ve actually resumed at the school. International office of your school can do that for you.

The rate at which you guys are shooting for WVU is alarming. It makes it more competitive, but best of luck.

You better go for OPT to get industrial experience, after which (or halfway) you go for PhD.
