I can't remember but it was either...

- interest only payment in school or no payment in school
- grace period of maybe 3 months post graduation before the payment starts

I believe I have written the rate somewhere here (could be around 10%, can't remember becos I have refinanced multiple times and current rate is 2.75%).

Original duration was long, maybe 7 or 10years, monthly payment post graduation was not upto $300.

With the current refinance rate, total interest will not be over $1500 for the remaining 5 years, so I'd rather not payoff early and use my money for a Camry.

Yea sure I don't mind. You can send a DM.

Hi, I've not processed my I-20 yet, still trying to see if I can get some funding first.
I was awarded a Dean's Fellowship scholarship and it was stated on my admission letter on the portal (Discover Drexel).

sbot:
Dear all,

Could you help interpret what the total cost of attendance of this course would be. It's a two(2) years course.

Thank you.

Helkayklassic:
You just need to multiply the annual total by 2, which will give you 67,858. That’s the amount you’ll need for your 2yrs program and remember the living expenses depends on the lifestyle you choose to live. May be lower or higher than what is written there.

Svelte98:
About 12k per quarter.

Themaths:
Visa is only for entrance into a country. If your visa expires in-country, it means if you come back to Nigeria, you will have to first apply for a new visa. But if you remain in the US, the duration in your I-20 should cover you, so, you won't go out of status.

Duisburg:
When you resume there, meet with the immigration official of the school, that would be fixed out easily.

Duisburg:
Easy.

Just get their I-20 and any school you go to does not concern them.

Themaths:
Being passionate is good and commendable, but it might not help in the short run. Not to speak ill of your chances, getting a Visa with a graduate program without funding is difficult enough, now you add grad cert.

What people do is this....They come in with a program they have the best shot at getting a Visa, when they get here, after one semester, they switch. If you are for fall, it's not too late, reapply to another program and defer your grad cert program. When you land, you can hustle for GA on campus

Svelte98:
Hmmm...I got about 4% scholarship which is really small obviously. I'd probably send an inquiry.

Hello, welcome to Canada study thread. I always tell people that in this journey, it is very good to ask questions but then, …

MiamiePizza:
No. Any document you know you cannot submit just send an email telling them you cannot get the document now. You can ask them to give you time and the will. Financial statement or affidavit of support don't stop you from getting admitted

MiamiePizza:
No didn't submit no official transcript. I submitted an unofficial transcript and the school is Missouri s&t

MiamiePizza:
I just got admitted. I haven't started visa processing. My admission is for fall 2022 (August to December) and I got my admission in less than 2weeks that I applied.

1st: You finished high school in 2015, and just going for a bachelors degree more than 6 years after high school. That’s a disqualifying factor that will be hard to circumvent. I will put your age at over 21. Undergrads going abroad are usually within the age 16-19 (maybe 20) age.

2nd: You are going abroad for social work. In the fabric of the Nigerian society, I don’t really see this as a “marketable” skill. That’s a ‘NO’ for me.

3rd: Your responses to these questions: (what have you been doing? What will you do when you return to nigeria? What will this course do for you? How did you hear about the school?)…do not portray someone that really has a firm understanding of what he really wants to do. Your responses to question 2 & 3 in my parentheses should be tied to how marketable social work is in nigeria. But personally, I have expressed I don’t really believe in it. And you should stop saying you did an extensive research on google to find out about a school. Students going for master’s will expertly say “I reviewed an article written by a prof in this school during my undergraduate thesis. Conducted an in-depth analysis using the school’s website to learn more about a program that I am interested in”…. Just learn to say something along the academic line.

4th: who is sponsoring you? What does he do I will be capitalizing my expert response here so that everyone can benefit:
THE “BURDEN OF PROOF” GOING TO THE EMBASSY HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL FORVER REMAIN, HOW ONE’S STUDY WILL BE FUNDED. THE PEOPLE I HAVE HELPED AND ANYONE I AM HELPING, I ALWAYS ENCOURAGE NOT TO GO TO THE EMBASSY UNLESS THEY HAVE FULL FUNDING OR MORE THAN 50% FUNDING. YOU CAN ALMOST ASSESS YOUR SUCCESS AT THE INTERVIEW ON THIS CRITERION ALONE. HOWEVER, THE FACT THAT SOMEONE DOES NOT HAVE FUNDING DOESN’T NECESSITATE THAT THEY SHOULDN’T GO TO THE EMBASSY. JUST ENSURE THAT THE STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT IS LEGITIMATE AND CARRIES MORE THAN *3 OF WHAT YOUR COA IS.

LASTLY, WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO THE OWNER OF THE SOA YOU ARE CARRYING. IN MY OWN LISTING AND ARRANGEMENT FROM STRONG - WEAK TIE: ONE’S BIOLOGICAL PARENTS, UNMARRIED SIBLINGS, MARRIED MALE SIBLINGS, MATERNAL UNCLE/RELATIVE THAT CARRIES YOUR SURNAME (LASTNAME).

Any other thing than this, you really have a hell of a hill to overcome considering how everyone is frantically trying to get out of the country. I did the same more than seven years ago.

LASTLY: God is the one that qualifies even the unqualified. We have seen people with worst profile get granted visa. Miracles happen. Personally, I don’t test God until I have done my own due diligence. And I intensely pray to God to bless my efforts.

I wish you the best femotech….

I submitted application to Missouri S&T and I got an email from the school with link to complete my application in less than 24hrs. Asked me to submit all required documents and get my admission decision in 2weeks.

Two of my cousins already got admission to schools in this state with scholarship (Missouri S&T and Missouri state university) you dey there dey say I dey cap vertical.
If you don't have something to bring on here people could benefit from it better you stop talking.

Tobironke:
Try Georgia State University

MiamiePizza:
Send them an email saying you cannot continue your application because you cannot afford to pay for GRE, give them time they'll reply you waiving GRE.

MiamiePizza:
I recommend anyone going for spring or fall 2022 to search and apply to schools in Missouri. They have relatively low tuition and acceptance rate is high for both undergraduate and graduate studies. They even give out scholarship like breakfast... I made some research and I learnt the reason the tuition fees in the state is low is because the state is really poor, and the crime rate is high, this make even housing to be cheap. The goal is to get admission and japa, the crime rates shouldn't scare us na.

mojolajesu:
We’re you able to pay

Kevdee4reel:
Please I’m on western union and don’t know the next thing to do. What’s the step cos I can’t find how to go about. There is no link to pay

Timotte:
If you have a US Western Union account (you can create one online), login to your account. At the top of the homepage, click on "Pay bills". It will take you to a page where you have to search for the biller. Type in "U S Bank DHS" (make sure to give a space between the U and S; for some reasons, their system won't find it if you don't give a space). Next, put in the amount ($350) and your account number as listed in your SEVIS coupon. Under the "Attention field", you can put "SEVISFEE". Then click on pay with debit/credit card. It will take you to the payment page where you input your debit/credit card details and then review and make the payment. Payment reflects immediately and can be confirmed on the www.fmjfee.com. Hope this helps.
