olupentane: I hail Gurus in the house
I will like more enlightenment on these points.
1. It is preferable to write the GRE before applying to schools
Ets is supposed to send one's score to four schools free of charge, will they accept the schools during registration or after the test result is out?
2. If one should get a scholarship for the whole MSc program is it compulsory the sponsor's statement of account should have the amount on the. I-20?
Thanks.

I think these questions have been answered before.

1) Yes. Its preferable to write the GRE first before applying to schools. However, you also need to have your chosen list of 4 schools you want to apply to which you'll give ETS on your exam day. Not during GRE registration. In other words, you'll have to enter the exam hall with your list of 4 schools ready which you'll enter that day either during or after the exam.

Note that, that you entered all 4 schools and GRE sends your report to all 4 schools doesn't automatically mean you MUST apply to all 4. In the end you might apply to 1 or 2 of the 4 schools you entered, or discover another good school later which you'd want to apply to(in this case you'll have to pay extra $25 to have ETS send your GRE score to this extra school).

2) Even if you get scholarship, you'll need to go to the embassy with a bank statement greater than the school's stipulated expenses for 1 year.

I'm glad you realized this on time. Please don't use them, Kaplans especially. The man solved rather too simple questions in his book which when you're solving will make you erroneously see yourself as a genius, only to enter the exam hall and be hit right on the head with the opposite stark reality of the exam.

And please take your time to prepare. Don't be in a hurry to go and write the exam. A good GRE score requires quality investment of your time and practice.

Cheers.

I think this is absolutely correct.

Both I-20s are valid. They'll bear exactly the same information. Since you already have the first I20, go ahead and book your appointment. You have no problem. When the second one comes, you keep it with you.

I suspect he was denied. I think I saw it coming when he mentioned that he didn't include on his DS160 form that he's married but he intends to mention it to the VO as part of his evidence of strong home ties, which is inconsistency. My only problem was that I saw that his particular post late and replied late - I replied on his day of interview.

I suspect so too BOSS.. I remember him mentioning something here about him being married and peeps told him it was inconsistency since he didn't include it on his DS 160 form..

I just hope our guess is Wrong, but i know assuming his visa was APPROVED, he would definately have alerted us here out of excitement since peeps rendered him so much help here...
