Are we supposed to get a mail after a successfull emergency request submission. I did not receive a mail about the emergency request I created.

Ceecee20:
I have no idea either, I haven’t gotten any mail or notification to that effect

mayford:
Your concerns are legit and of course, understandable. Unfortunately, just as you can't do anything about a denial, in this situation, I don't know of any other solution. Perhaps someone else might suggest something different but that's as far as I know.

Good luck.

Happy New Year !

If you had secured 100% funding i wonder why your COA should be amounted to $30,000, but let us put that aside.

Since you are going for a Theological study , i will recommend you approach your church/pastor and beg the appropriate authority to stand for you and provide the bank statement in the stated amount. If that is not feasible you can approach a private institution who can stand for you . The truth is that your Form I 20 would not be issued without the financial verification of the $30,000 deficit.

You can go with your wife, it is permissible and expected of you as a Young mission scholar, but it is better you relate your academic journey with a well known growing church .

Good Luck.

Note = The $30,000 is likely going to be for your wife 's F2 coverage or whatever.

Hello guys, i'm trying to apply for masters in human computer interaction in the US for falls, I've seen some schools that offer it i.e University of Washinton and Carnegie Mellon University but they don't have direct funding, is there any advice you can give on where I can apply for scholarship. I'm a graduate of Applied Physics Electronics with a 2:1

Hello.

You don't have to apply to many schools for PhD (in order to be focused) except if you have not gotten in contact with a positive supervisor. Any University which gives PhD admissions to International applicants must be a research based institution, therefore, all the 4 schools you have applied to are good enough. I have not contacted any supervisor in those schools I applied to . It is not stated on the website to secure supervisor before admission can be given . Do you think I should start contacting supervisors from those schools , even though I have submitted application? Thank you

No matter how High the acceptance rate of any Research based University, such school won't bend her admission criteria for any PhD applicant, hence dont look for high acceptance rate, look the school that will accept your over all qualifications and also focus on supervisor with passion for your work. You can also Google search schools independently.

Good Luck.

NanaOLOMU:
Hello.

If your PhD is not a research based, well its not really necessary to contact a future supervisor. In that case you may wait on the admission decision and keep applying to schools .

But it's advisable to contact prospective PhD academic supervisor (s) in your department many months even before your application date. This will give you time to get to know your future advisor and explore prospective research ideas.

It will also give your advisor time to decide whether they have room for a new student in their research group. Your supervisor (professor) determines if they need you in their department or if there is available funds for you (Research Based PhD Student ).

Good Luck.
