I applied to Michigan Tech Uni for MSc Computer Science and asked for a proficiency and GRE waive since I graduated from a British Uni with a first class honours in Software Engineering. What do y'all think?

what do you want us to think?

Why you mad bruv? Y'all think I've got a case or nay.. that's why I asked dude. Bitter leaf

GRE is not a test of English proficiency. However, if your program exempt you from taking the GRE then you are good to go.

Lmfao chill out dude, there's absolutely no reason to use curse words. No question is stupid, there's sense in every nonsense. If you feel the post was stupid, your opinion.. you don't have to reply. And the bitter leaf thing was a joke, grow up.

English is obviously the sole medium of instruction in British Universities... I wonder why they requested for English proficiency.

Please is there any way I can go through the information I entered while filling my visa application form online again? I need to go through the information again so as not to give contradicting information during my Visa interview

waynee2baba:

Read my post again bro. TOEFL/IELTS can be waived for they are both English Test but GRE is not a test of English proficiency so you may have to sit for GRE. Engineering programs at Michigan tech will not waive GRE for you

Alrighty

You are not alone, some persons here have been on AP longer than you so stop the worry and carry on with your life or preparation as I will like to suggest, stay positive, it will be issued. Get things ready if you've got the faith, (I will suggest you don't book a flight yet ) but do the non financial preparations and wait for that happy hour when your status changes to ISSUED.As for me I am getting ready gradually and I've ask my school to send me a permit that will cover for my late arrival incase I resume late, you can do thesame to avoid stories at the port of entry . Meanwhile don't worry, just smile and pray !!! cheers

Your case is a very special one. You had very good scores in your GRE and TOEFL but wasn't awarded a scholarship . I think the VO felt you should have been given a form of scholarship cause your profile seems to be good. If you went for your interview in May, I would have said you should reach out to your school to tell them the development and see if they can offer you a Tuition waiver, but now, I am not so sure.


Let's see what others have to say

Time2win:


what do you want us to think?

Dark... loool.

Even Americans take GRE when it’s required by the department.

If you are going to travel with cash, check Craigslist to see what fit in your budget. Don't pay anyone online until you get to check the apartment out physically.

Masters degree in Engineering barely gets Assistantship before arrival. ( mostly only upon arrival) That's Fact.
If you have a great GPA. Apply for PhD before going back. Your GRE and TOEFL is great. Hence, the discomfort of the VO. Felt you didn't make the best outta your profile.
PhD will have you automatically funded.

No harm in giving it a second try since your dad is funding.

Search for chiezzh and pm him. He announced like three times here that anyone coming to ETSU should feel free to contact him for any help. You can search for him and contact him.

The vo was right to deny you
He did it for your own good
Are you sure you know what you are doing like this
You scored 318 in GRE and 105 in TOEFL but you can't get some funding for mechanical engineering, then that means you have not taken your application process seriously.
With your scores you shouldn't be paying school fees, look for other schools to apply. Try Tennessee tech
