Hi guys,

For those applying to 'mushroom' schools, read and be guided. About 600 international students, mostly Indians were affected in this sting operation by ICE.

I have been sending statement of intent to faculty members on behalf of someone am assisting to seek RA funding for about 1week and so far have not gotten any response. Am i on track?

Same shoes o. I haven’t gotten any response either although I have been able to write to only one faculty memeber and this is because another faculty member suggested that I should give reasonable time between mailing faculty members for RA positions. It’s been up to 3 weeks now and there’s no response yet and I’m almost at the point of sending another email to a different faculty member. Experts in the house please help with tips that might help us. Thanks.

Hmn, I don't think it's a good idea to put up your SOP on an open platform like this. Anybody can easily plagiarise your work.

Thank you.

why is that everyone here is busy debating on my brown/Harvard admissions admission instead of helping me get scholarship..to be sincere I didn't know getting into such school can be competitive, I only search for the best school in us through which I found those school. I also told them that am very good in football and basketball which they requested for prove and I sent it to them..I will snap my admission letter/ i20 and upload it for you people to see yourself .But I hope am save? because this is a public forum. or is there any other way to clear the doubt? .I don't know how to send pm , so I will appreciate if you can help me out with any tuition waiver. I will give you the email and password I used in applying to the school

I asked you PM me but you have chosen not to for reasons best known to you. I wish you the very best in your pursuit.

If you think you scored 2260/1600 on the SAT,then something is wrong.I think a devious agent is trying to swindle you or you're just playing pranks.You're sounding less genuine everyday.Anybody that applied to an Ivy League institution would be more vast, I'm sorry: sad

Still wondering why he hasn't sent me a PM since I asked him to and Ubah1 reiterated the same thing. I guess he isn't ready yet.

No, nobody would tell you the school to choose because you did not apply to any of them


No, you did not do anything yourself.


Okay, so you had 1246 then 1462 which is not valid and now you have 2260. You are sure you did everything yourself. Besides as Lagosismyhome said, there was no SAT August 25, I believe you are a Nigerian cos you mentioned you have been catering for yourself from ss1 - ss3 so do not tell us you wrote it outside Nigeria


Thanks for the clarification, this one is not serious


This cracked me up. The guy is here to troll, he is not genuine, how can a genuine student who was accepted not know the meaning of Ivy league, not know how to calculate his SAT score

======================

Finally, this is one big family. I am really grateful many stood up and someone volunteered to write a letter for him free. I was really happy that we have one another interests at heart. I should have contributed also but my main account, Olalekank was banned

I am surprised someone can come out and "lie" he was admitted to Harvard and does not know simple steps. Burst my head, he doesn't even know his SAT score.

I think we should just ignore whatever the joker has to say until he provides proof

Going forward, I think I will leave the undergraduate students to their race. Imagine a guy that came 2 weeks ago claiming he had a high score. I had called a few schools on his behalf claiming he is my cousin and already discussing with their honors college, asked him to send me a PM he didn't, and I sent him one with no response till date. Guess I am not going to stick my head out anymore.

Good morning to everyone here (Nigerian time).

I did a Skype interview yesterday for my PhD application to USF. It was a very friendly chat, took around 23 mins. Seems I'm going to get a good funding.

My question is this.

I wish to go with my wife and baby. How feasible is it for us to get our f1 and f2 visas at the same time and travel together (I'm referring to visa application/VO issues).


I know there issues about home ties etc, hence this question.

This is the same way the ingenuity of a few applicants is tarnishing the image of all Nigerians at the embassy.

House I need your advice!

I applied to Kansas State University to study BSc in Milling Science and Management. I have been admitted and have got my I-20.
I finished my secondary school in 2007 and I have OND and BSc in Computer Science. Also married with 2 kids and i have applied for b1/b2 visa twice and was denied.
I currently work in grain milling industry in Ghana spanning 8 years working experience.
I passed all IOAM exams modules and I am certified in 2012. IAOM means International Association of Operative Millers.

Kansas State University is the only university in the that offers degree in Milling Science and Management hence the reason why I applied to the school in order to become expert and grow in the industry.

What is my chance of getting visa with the following:

Marriage status
Already have a BSc and still applying for another BSc
Already denied for B1/B2 visa twice

@ walspring, Lagosismyhome, Bikeman fairheart and the all Gurus in the house, I need to pm you for some update and guide on my transcript. Secondly, I wanted to ask if I should use self sponsor, third party sponsor or company sponsor for my application, I applied for Computer Professionals Program in computer science in MUM, they only required $5000 ($3000 prepayment + $2000 personal expense money) to be reflected on the account of which I can provide that on my personal account, the other funds would be on student loan. kindly advise on the kind of sponsorship suitable for this application. I mean the one that will boost my chance with VO since I have savings that can cover up this expenses personally do you think its wise to use self sponsor.

Thanks.

Good day house, please in applying for a PhD which is more important ? is it one's undergraduate GPA or Master's GPA? I asked because I noticed that even for phds most schools still state that your undergraduate GPA should be ,say 3.0/4.0. In my own case my undergraduate GPA is 2.5/5 but my masters GPA is 3.98 / 5.0. I know that standardised test scores also play a role in deciding who gets admitted. But on the basis of GPA will my masters GPA remedy that of my undergraduate? Thank you.

Which school is called MUM..... also with this amount listed above with no funding , it already looks like a mushroom school . Schooling in America is great but it not cheap

Also you need to aim for a degree program to qualify for F1 visa. What you typed doesn't look like a degree program

It feasible but nobody can predict the outcome. You just have to go for it and hope for the best.

Some people have been given together and some have been denied so it hard to say. Just be prepared to defend how you intend to take care of all 3 and why you need your family to be there. If they are not given then they can always try again.

It might be better to go first , secure yours first and they go for theirs later even if it a few days later
