Not entirely true. Every dept RA/TA pay is not the same in school . I have friends who attended southern and northern schools…with RA/TA/Post Doc positions .. Some southern students got paid more and saved more. Sometime the COL is 3k-5k of $$ while rent difference btw a southern like MS and NYC might be up $600-$1000/mon. So your net saving is actually zero or negative.

Congratulations.

Great offer. I believe your monthly take home after taxes should be around $1600 especially as health insurance is fully covered so it’s a great deal. Are you having doubts?

Coloniel5000:

Guys, I am asking for an acquaintance. Which schools have scholarships for freshmen with SAT? Just generally as I did not ask for the major intended. Thank you.

1stGenAmerican:


There are over 4,000 colleges and universities in this country. It’s impossible for anyone to know. If you’re waiting for someone to tell you the answer to your question instead of doing a detailed internet search, your acquaintance is going to miss out.

No two experiences are the same, but how would you feel to know that HRs were/are always the first to get laid off in this recession? Talent hunt is chic, but delicate. 'Cos when a company is not hiring, then they are basically just taking up space..

TheNoble007:


Lols. Why the bolded? I hope you are not paying fully out of pocket... I know someone who studied there for a fully funded Masters in Mathematics some years ago.

Ilysm:


Talent acquisition and recruiting are not the only specializations in the Human Resources field. There is more to that than HR. There are HR compensation and benefits analyst roles, business partner roles, Hr generalist roles and even hr analyst roles involving HRIS. All these specializations are relatively recession proof than talent acquisition and specialists in diversity, equity and Inclusion. And every company there is always different human resources personnel with these roles, so I believe this field wont be severely affected by recession in the future.

BigIyanga:

Folks here can offer pieces of tailored advice, if you are more open to share your SAT Score and Major. Good luck

Because some people might consider non-stem courses as a waste of time especially as an international student in the US. HR is a non-stem course, but it has decent career prospects to me. And I never get funding o. I keep in touch with the department in case any assistanship position is vacant so I can apply.

mojolajesu:
I have been rejected twice too.

tbh, my next confidence to approach that embassy again is going to be on the wings of funding.

I have applied to a couple of schools for MSc hoping for funding.

Bro, brace up and enter the embassy again. with a fully funded phd, you stand a high chance!

good luck

Please are there schools that are still open to applications for PhD in Electrical Engineering (fall 2023)? I applied to 3 schools: got a rejection letter from the first one yesterday. I would want to broaden my chances.

Izanghi:
hello everyone,
I got a fully funded PhD offer from University of South Florida and University of Cincinnati.
What do you think about the schools? Are they of good repute (I mean respected), as I am also thinking of after job opportunities too from the school I plan to study.

Please I need advise here.
