Thank you so much! Do the schools there require an exam to be taken before applying?
Hi. It depends on the school. Some schools will require GRE or TOEFL or both. Some schools will not require any.
What you can do is use a site like webometrics and check out schools in US and visit their websites to see their requirements. Also check specific requirements for your department.

Hello everyone, can anyone please recommend universities that have low tuition fees? I want to apply for a Masters Program, but I don't know which state to focus on.

Also, is there any ongoing scholarship application at the moment?

Thank you.
Kansas, Arkansas, Ohio, Mississippi, Kentucky, Louisiana, Indiana are all relatively affordable states.

My transcript
Me: good morning Ma,
VO: Good morning,how are you?
Me: I am good( handed her the I20 and passport)
VO: I see you work for **** company
Me: interjected, I work with **** company
VO: you have been their for two years(she was reading everything from my profile)
Me: yes ma
VO: have you traveled out of Nigeria before
Me: yes ma, I have been to Ghana for a weekend vacation and toured Togo and benin.
VO: oh, so how is Ghana, do you like it there?
Me: Ghana is a beautiful country, I love it
VO: when did you finish your Bsc, and what was your major,
Me: I finished in 2015 and I majored in Metallurgical and Materials engineering.
VO: why Msc computer science

Me: I know my time is almost up,so I brought out my study leave, I have been working for **** company which majored in tech, I was selected to go on study for my outstanding performance, the digital world fascinates me....(VO was already feeling disnterested in my explanation), just to say I will resume a senior role at my place of work......(VO interjected)
VO: who is covering your deficit
Me: my father bla bla bla.....(while I was trying to explain what he does for a living)
VO: already printed the blue paper

That's my experience today, please don't be discouraged, we go again.





Switching from Metallurgic and Materials Engineering to Computer Science was the main reason the VO denied you.
Seems your COA was too high too

Hello gurus in the house, pls i need your advice on this I just discovered today that I have an active ban to Canada. Is it possible to apply to the USA for study without getting visa refusal
You can try if you have the funds and time. But truth is: A Canada ban will probably be shared with the US as well. The 2 countries are close and share a lot of info.

Hello everyone,
Please are international students allowed to make hair for people as side hustle.
The only jobs you are legally allowed to do are on-campus jobs, unless you obtain special permission to work off campus.
Fast food or restaurant jobs on campus are usually easiest to get.

Hello house, please I just stumbled on this thread and I have a few questions.

1. Is there a thread for potential graduate students? If yes can someone share the link.

2. I will like to do WES evaluation and need some insight from those who have evaluated their credentials.

Thanks in advance
This is the right thread for potential graduates.

For WES, you can search on here. There are threads talking about it and also numerous posts on this thread about it.

It looks like you need to build your profile further along those 10 criteria. Look at those criteria, check those you can build quickly within few years and work towards them.

You can pursue OPT, H1b for now while building your profile towards NIW or even EB1A.

This is perfectly normal. Many people spend years to build the profile and I think you are on right track there.
Alright. I appreciate

Do you have publication from your Masters
- is your publication in top tier journals (or at least Scopus listed)
- did you present at a highly regarded conf and was your paper peer-reviewed
- is the conference or journal highly rated in your field. NB: this is field/discipline specific
- did your computing work or part thereof lead to an innovation (or innovation of some sort)
- Did you have a patent application or was your work cited in a patent application (whether by the patent applicant or mandated by the patent body)
Thanks.

I took the coursework route so I don't have publications or works.

Nice and informative thread.
I'm going to have my masters in CS by December. I have just a year(part-time) work experience however.
Is the EB-2(NIW) likely for me at this point, or is working with OPT and trying to get H1-B the better option?

2. And Please ooo If you edit your ds-160 and add the new conf code to your cgi portal, will they be able to find out anything about the old one you edited ??

Not advisable to lie about your siblings in the US.

You can edit your ds form and update the code in your profile. They only care about the current one not the old ones.

If you got an admission without a funding and have submitted same in the DS-160 and later got another admission from another school with funding. Is it possible to retrieve the submit DS-160 and change the school as well as the SEVIS no?

see this
PS it's from last year, so there might be few differences.

Stevenssen:


First of all get your i-20 from the new school. Then,

For your ds-160 :
Retrieve your old ds-160 form, it'll tell you that this form has been submitted and ask if you want to view the confirmation page or create new one from it, select the later option. A new one will be created with many details from the old one and only very few key information that you have to refill. You can as well make changes anywhere on the new one if you want.
Make sure you write the new number out and update it on your profile.
ps : you can update your ds-160 on your profile as long as it's more than 72 hours to your interview.

For your Sevis fee : go to fmjfee dot com . Check your i901 status, then from there you'll see an option to transfer to a new school.

Also remember to update the necessary details on your visa appointment profile.

How many times can someone reschedule on one appointment profile??
Don't reschedule. If they won't work on that day, they'd give you another date themselves.

Please I need someone's opinion on this.

Five of my siblings are in the USA. One of them is presently an assistant professor in the school I'm going to for my MA. In fact, she lectures in the same department I'm going for and she's the graduate coordinator. I have funding (graduate assistantship). I am married with kids and I won't be going with them.

These are my concerns:

1. How to prove to the VO that I will return upon graduation, considering the fact that I have siblings who didn't return upon their graduations. They are working.

2. How to answer the questions about how I got to know the school, the course, and how I was able to get the funding. I suspect they will feel my sis helped me.

Please someone should help me.
It might actually not be a bad thing that your siblings all finished their educations before moving on to other stuff. What you might have been worried about is if they all quit school and got married.
Your sister being a lecturer is a plus for you. About why you chose the school, just say that she sends you some of her materials and works and you are eager to research with her.
(You should probably read some of her works also, if you haven't. You might be asked about it.)

All the best

Guys please, I know USA is not Nigeria, but is there no chance at all that I can be admitted into masters programs with a 2.6 gpa, that set 3.0 or 2.7 as their requirement? I really want to study something I enjoy and would build a career in, so I wish to get in. My 2.6 undergrad CGPA is completely as a result of the Nigerian system, as I was getting E and Fs for courses with content as stupid as "define mood' and name ways to commit suicide, but I can't explain that to an Oyinbo school... please how do I go about this? I'm prepping for the GRE, but I hear that cannot even help the case, if a required gpa has been stated. Please what do I do?

I wish to get into the Ms.Cardiovascular Technology or Audiology or Exercise Physiology or Occupational Therapy...or even Public Health...something that could put me in a hospital setting..I need help
It's possible. Evaluate your transcript with Wes. Converting it to 4.0 scale with their system may boost your gpa. Also your gre and recommendation letters and research experience also help if your gpa is low.

Good evening house,

A friend of mine needs an urgent advice. Is it possible to use a school to get visa and go to another one on getting to US? both schools have different resumption dates and they're also in different states.

Your response will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Yes it's possible to do that in US. But try and do it before both programs start. And I think you also have to meet the DSO in your initial school. Google for more info

Please how do I answer the question of what is your study plan
saheed0011:
your response should go like this, I believe I know myself pretty well in terms of what works best for me while studying. I am a firm believer that quality study is far more effective than sitting down there reading for hours upon no end. Quality study involves writing down key learning points from each lessons. Also I have since discovered myself that I am more effective studying at evening time of the day during which my level of concentration and assimilation is always at is peak. So, I have already have plan in place to make sure that my studies are effective and utilize my time very well while at the university.

Others too should contribute
Study plan is simply the courses you will take, total credit hours, compulsory courses required to graduate etc. It should be on your department's program requirement page of your school's website.
