Hello

The book no get soft copy and it is old, 1997 last published. Anyway, your boy devise means sha. I used a free trial to get a scanned copy from SCRIBD. Thanks for your help, my brother. I just want to start drafting my generic SOP before tailoring it to each school I will be applying to.

Someone might be able to get it for you...but you can get the soft copy as well-maybe from other websites

Ewooo see GPA...your profile would be damn competitive with a better GRE score. Brother, abeg retake.

Good day guys. I took my GRE and had 296 (quant:153,verbal:143), Analytical writing yet to be released, WES evaluation 3.63/4.0. Please do I need to take the TOEFL test for schools that says if your primary language is English no need for TOEFL. I am interested in Ms Mechanical Engineering does anyone has idea about any school that I can get assistantships and with good part time jobs with my profile? I had applied to Tennesse State University, South Dakota State University and South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. Suggestions of other schools are welcomed. Secondly how can I pay application fee from here if someone doesn't have anyone over there? Thanks in advance guys expecting replies that can be of help.

repsin:
I was at your school today. Very nice place. I'm in Chicago now

wow! Good to hear. I can't wait to see the serene and conducive environment for learning. still don't give out my bed space ooo.

I sent you a mail. Please reply.

MsNas:

With your undergrad GPA, I suggest you rewrite GRE to get at least a score of 300 or more. Then finding funding will be so easy for you. Most assistantships are competitive and most schools require at least a score of 300 or more before you're considered. You also do not wanna go to a below par school because your evaluated GPA is enough to get you into the top schools.

Rewrite GRE, get killer recommendations, top-notch SOP and you will get whatever funding you have without much ado (with prayers though). My opinion though..

I sent you a mail. Please reply.

I already did.

There are too many schools I'm the US compared to the UK, I don't even know schools that I can apply to with people to put and help me through. I'd appreciate suggestions pls.

I have a situation here pple ,the departure date of this applicant is 26th of January and the earliest appiontment date available is 26th of Jan also .......the problem now is will this have a negative effect on the outcome of the visa applicantion ? It's such a crazy coincidence


Note : this is a visiting visa application ......I await your response nairalanders

Guys thank you,but it won't be easy for me to retake the Gre because I am already currently working I had to take it sharply so not to be more distracted because of my job. I might not require a full scholarship but a quite some percentage of assistantships might help. The time to even think of preparing again isn't their any longer I had to quickly take it because I knew I was loosing concentration.

I think you have your answer already. Sorry to ask this, but is your Uncle college educated? Because he won't be preaching to you to fall out of status if he is. Is he the one paying your fees? Does he give you money every month?

And come to think of it, you shouldn't even be asking these questions. It is a no-brainer. You shouldn't even be thinking of heeding to your Uncle's demands no matter the pressure. So, you'll fall out of status and then what? Be illegal and work under the table jobs that will pay you a max of minimum wage and maybe a little more? Then maybe hold out of hope of jamming an American to marry and file papers for you? That ain't life. Its torture.

You have a job, you have a scholarship, you've paid half of your fees. Save up, pay the rest and try and graduate with good grades. Pray and fast and you'll get a good job. Fall out of status and... Well, go and ask about tales of people who fell out of status. Don't let your uncle push you off the deep end.

Who's that uncle of yours? He needs to be wiped. Thats why I don't involve my extended family in my life. This same uncle could not help you come to the states, am sure he couldn't even help pay app fee or sevis fee. Just shut that uncle down. Do you know how hard it is to run out of status, mehn it's a trauma. It means you are undocumented immigrant. Don't even involve him in your life. New York is even the last place I will advice anyone to go and hustle, some people sleep on the basement in NY. It's all man for himself. If you have any problem in NY,this same uncle won't show up.

My advice struggle through school, try get good grades, on campus job, after one 2 semester you can't foot the bills, apply for economic hardship( you will get a work authorization that you can use to work off campus but only if youncan convince uscis that you truly need it, I know few people using that) . All in all, be careful of family. Good luck

The actual truth is the advice your uncle gave has actually worked for some people. Some students get into the country on F1 visa but with little or no money for tuition to pay through school. Some don't register in school at all, but find something doing to keep them busy until they straighten out their papers, usually takes about 1 year for them. Then as a permanent resident, they have easy access to loans which they take out to go back to school, without having to stress themselves or work 2 jobs that only manage to cover your living expenses. There's also the benefit of ease of getting jobs on graduation this time as a legal resident. Irrespective of whether you go to school or not on arrival here, all routes lead to the same destination - legal residency. I've seen some students who arrive US, enrol in and finish school, but are unable to find a company to file for them. Just saying.

As for your uncle not helping you out before, it is the same here with me and many other students who will tell you the same. You need to understand that this is America. Nobody who lives and works here will give or dash you money just like that, except your parents. Not even your own uncles or aunts. Your relatives would prefer to house and feed you in their house - well only for some time, but to give out their much-earned dollars is very difficult.

Come to look at it, there are millions of undocumented immigrants in this country who yet are surviving. They work jobs, have homes, drive cars yet they are undocumented, especially the hispanic. These people are surviving and you will never know who is undocumented and who is not. How often do you see them sleeping on the streets of America, or homeless and poor? This should tell you something.

Before you make a final decision, you need to be very sure of your financials. You said you have 2 jobs on campus, however don't forget you can only work a maximum of 20 hours every week no matter how many jobs you have. Your on campus job (s) will only cover your living expenses - rent, utilities, phone bill, feeding e.t.c with very little to spare to pay in tuition. Assume you're paid $10 an hour at both jobs with 20 hours a week, you earn $200 every week or $800 every month. Take out taxes and you'll be left with about $740 per month. Depending on where you're staying, you have about $400 - $600 to pay in rent and maybe utilities. Include your phone bill ($40), feeding expenses ($100), transportation e.t.c. The entire money is used up. Now, remember you owe $1,500 in tuition and for most schools, you must pay off all outstanding tuition for a previous semester before you're allowed to register for the next semester. For the next semester, you have another $3,000 to pay. How do you plan to get the money? From your on-campus job?? Do you receive support from home, even if its partial support? If you're depending on scholarship, what if you don't get the scholarship?

Do not really look at your uncle as being 'bad' to you. He probably has seen the bigger picture than you have. You only need to look at things, and, most importantly, your future objectively.
