Hello House, The 120days rule! please will it start counting from the day the student receives his/her I-20 form by courier?

Thanks in anticipation of your response.



NO. It's 120 days from the resumption date on your I-20. If your resumption date is August 17, 2016 you'll have to count 120 days backwards. You're allowed to appear for visa interview within that bracket.

Is it me or those state schools are getting really tight fisted with GA & TA's for International students... A quick recap of Fall 2016 thus far.... Profile [3.48 GPA(IERF Evaluation), GRE( 321, 319) Wrote it twice, TOEFL (107)]... PhD Economics (Auburn, Oregon State, University of Notre Dame, University of Wyoming) I got rejects on all four. I have two more to go 1 PhD and 1 MA, Really tired... SirRiddy call me, I don misplace my phone. femi321 sorry about your funding situation

So after 4 rejects I got into MA Applied Economics Illinois State and PhD Economics MTSU, I applied Mid-March after receiving barrage of rejects. I was not offered funding, I was told to apply for GA/TA/RA/AA at Illinois State and to check back by 18th April at MTSU should anyone reject funding or chose to go someplace else(basically waitlisted). Moral of the story is spread your risk and apply early, I applied to only top 50 schools in my field initially and got rejected by them all. I am looking forward to hearing back from the schools regarding funding and will post updates here.



SideBar : If you want to register TOEFL, I was supposed to write one to improve my speaking scores but I could not test due to network issues. I was issued a VOUCHER by ETS. I am not upto any exam at this point and the voucher is for sale at a very good deal for a forum member. PM me

Congrats bro.........

Pls how long will it take for IERF to get my transcripts evaluated and converted to the US 4.0 system.

I'm applying for MS Renewable Energy Engineering at Oregon Institute of Technology for Fall entry, and they are requesting for my transcripts to be evaluated and converted to the US grading system.

The deadline to submit all application materials is May 1.

Do you think I can still meet up?

Depending on how much you are willing to pay, You can pay for the 24 hour rush service or 5 day rush which is what i paid for. If you can courier your document to them, pay for 24 hour rush and next day air courier service for your evaluation delivery. You will be just fine

Things here for many to learn from!
We have repeatedly warned people about giving replies that they have over practiced.
The moment that you start one of these speeches it is very clear that you are not using a normal conversation voice.
The visa officer will instantly suspect that your statement is not real.

In this case the visa officer reads through the words "Tuition affordable)
This means that you picked the cheapest school that you could find!

Applying for Jan? ? ? Most schools start after summer shutdown, not Jan 2017, what is going on

How should I start self? Well, GA is not automatic lipsrsealed . I am a CCNP and I really doubt they used that as a yardstick (in my case). However, I know three things can get you assistantship; 1) Your profile (GRE, GPA, SOP, etc.) 2) Your experience (if you have some industrial experience or you have published a paper) and 3) Availability of funding.
Of all, the third seems to be the most difficult to predict. My school used to have a lot of funding for MS in CS (but not anymore). However, I am almost certain you will get full funding if you come for MS in maths, physics or chemistry (My friends with way lower profile than myself got full funding before coming over). So if I told you that there is no funding in my school, you will automatically assume there is no funding in all departments. Funding is in cycle!

Solution:

1) The best thing you can do is to do a lot of background research about some schools. Sincerely with your profile, you should choose some good low ranked schools to boost your chances.

2) Send an email to all the professors in the dept (I can send a good template that I have been using to you - you may need to review some of their research papers tho).

3) Pray to God!

Good luck! smiley
bros, please help send the mail template to klawreal@gmail.com and please where are you studying? thanks

H&M, 6pm.com, American eagle. Their drinks are artificially flavored. Use Walmart and buy better juice. You can always try to get a blender and once in a while run smoothie for yourself or some fresh shake. Aldi stores are cheap too for food.
