How is admission and funding for fall 2021 coming?
Please share your experience and the schools you've received funding from.

Got fully funded PhD computer science admission today
Montana state university

Thank you. I applied to Georgia State University (Urban Studies PhD), Ohio State University PhD City and Regional Planning, City University of New York (Sociology), and University of california irvine (Sociology).
I want to do a PhD in Sociology.

NigPatriot:


Sorry about this sir.

Firstly, let me start off by saying this; PhDs are far more competitive than Masters. With that established, I adviced you earlier, have a holistic review of your application details; starting from your statement of purpose, your Recommendations (this is very important especially for PhD applications). What I did during my application was to ask my references (if they can) to send me what they submitted. - most of them did.

What I'm trying to say is this, something might actually be "off" about your applications. Or maybe you have very ambitious schools - do you mind stating the entirety of schools you applied to?

Dont feel weary my friend? And as I said earlier, some schools still have their applications running. Aim at those.

The race isn't always to the fastest it's for those who won't give up!

I wish you well and hoping to hear some good news soon.

Yes, a friend suggested I change my recommenders.

Ask admission committee for a copy of your recommendation letters if the policy allows you have a copy of them. Don't underate the power of some destiny destroyers! Then I would say you give out your SOP to experts to check for you. USA admission is straightforward just like plug and play kind-of, the funding and visa is the real deal...

You'll need to talk to someone in the US to help you pay for it. Most times it's usually by cheque.

Hello all. I am applying to Western Illinois University ( Msc) 1and I'm required to pay the application fee by check or money order because the credit card option is not available to applicants from Nigeria which would have been easier for me.
Please is there anyone that have made payment using this means. How do I go about this.

Hello, I am also an aspiring WIU Masters student. After submitting my application, I got a mail a week or 2 later that it's been received and that a follow up mail will be sent after my documents have been reviewed.

homodele:
Hello good evening. After completing your application to WIU did you receive a mail from the school confirming your application has been completed or submitted successfully?
Thank you very much.

These are all top R1 universities, especially Ohio State, CUNY and UC Irvine. Perhaps competition was intense. Besides recommenders, your test scores should be top-notch. There is a limit to what recommendation can do, but you can make sure the rest of your application is superb. And trust me, most Americans may not really care that much about recommendations from Africa since they do not know your professors, and they really don't care. This is coming from someone that got full funding to top 20 PhD programs including Northwestern but turned down the academic route.

Munaxara:

Did the funding/admission came separately? Is it fully funded or GA? I really need funding. I was told to wait that they will get back to me.

No application fee at the moment

1. Duquesne University, Pittsburgh

I don’t think it can hurt if we all share any free online applications we come across.

Wow. These are top schools. How was your profile like?

Your GRE score, GPA, first class or 2nd class?
Any publication?

The group can easily recommend schools that fits your profile if we know these info.

Bsc 3.1/4, Msc 3.5/4 (wes icap), Gre q151, v157 a3.5, toefl w28, s29, r29, l29. No publications, I've been working in a federal govt agency for 5 years, and my work experience led me to want to carry out the sociological research I want to do. My bsc is in Urban and Regional Planning (2009), and my Msc is in Environmental Pollution Control (2012).

You have a fair profile, but the truth is that nothing from your profile stands out. Try and ace the GRE. I don't think any recommendations, no matter how lofty, would change the outcome. It is even hard for folks with 3.3/4 undergrad GPA. Masters GPA matters a bit but they care a lot more about undergrad. You can't change those but the only thing you can change is your GRE. Alternatively, apply to lower ranked schools but believe me great GRE scores can move mountains, especially at lower ranked schools. Hope I'm not too harsh.

Hey guys, I’ve hardly seen people sharing offers for computer science/engineering programs, unlike other programs —even in social sciences.

I applied to the computer science/engineering programs at University of Virginia, University of Florida and University of California San Diego and I still haven’t got any decision on my application.

Please, who has been admitted to any of these programs?

PS: I contacted profs at these programs and they were interested in working with me.

Thank you.

Good day Sir, I was asked to contact you. Please can you do mock for me? I'm applying for a F2 Visa.

I disagree with you. Most Universities do a holistic review of applications. They consider every part of your application. Your GRE and GPA scores are not as important as your research experience. He has a very good profile. The most important aspect of your credentials is your research experience which you don't have. Try to publish your Masters and Undergrad projects. Get a very good SOP and look for Professors who will write very good reports for you (very important) and keep applying. All the best.

Please can anyone assist with a draft cover letter for a graduate assistant position in a US university. Thanks

Good morning all,
Please, I need your assistance.
Should I input my Spouse's surname only or mine? Or both?
