I applied for the graduate program in Biomedical science. Is admission decision out already?

Datst136:

I submitted my application last year Dec. The Graduate studies committee mailed me last week that my application has been sent to the department for review. Hopefully, they come through next week.

Have you gotten any mail from them about the progress of your application?

Good morning folks, my cousin is currently in the US on a B1/B2 visa. He got an offer already in public Health Oklahoma State University, can he switch/change his B1/B2 visa to F1 while in the US.

He doesnt want to go back to Nigeria, the B1/B2 is still valid, and he wants to change the status here in the US to F1. Please anyone suggestion, and guidance on how to change from visit visa to student visa within the USA.

Please advise. Thanks

Please any update about ETSU

Please, What of someone accepted into Harvard university but has a deficit of 60k?

Hello, I am currently in your position. This is what I did. This will be a long post, I apologize.

I finished my MA in the UK in 2021. Post graduation, I was working part time here and there, as per UK usual. I applied for fall 2024 to 8 universities, all fully funded programs. I go admitted into 3, 1 waitlist, and 4 rejections. I just did my visa interview last month, it was granted. My Visa is arriving soon.

Key things to note.

My masters and PhD is in exactly the same field. So I am not jumping from A to B.

I have never ever been to the US before, nor have I ever applied for their Visa.

My PhD is fully funded with over 10k excess left over.

My interview lasted like 2mins.

Please, please, please.... apply to the best school you can enter. The school is very very important and will affect your visa. School and funding is the most important thing from my experience. It is harder to deny a havard or princeton scholar than someone going to rashford state university or Onana school of business. I see people talking about home ties and all that, THAT IS A NIGERIA PROBLEM AND YOU ARE IN THE UK. THAT PROBLEM IS BENEATH YOU!!!

VO in Nigeria are people with prejudice and strong belief that we all want to run away and never return. They are very tight. It is not like that abroad. If you can, go to Belfast for the interview, things are very chill there. The VO are soft friendly people.

Apply to a top school, the best you can get into and have full funding. When asked about post graduation plans... I said "to go back to Nigeria and use my skills in education, research and development". Just show intent to go back home, all that home ties nonsense is BENEATH you.

Now, for your application, make sure you write GRE, you dont need toefl. I wrote GRE twice. Try to score above 300. I scored 312. Just try your best, please. Try to study well in school and graduate with a good grade. Transcript matters alot. I made merit.

Try to score a first class score in your thesis, it really really helps. Make sure atleast two of your references are from your UK university. Try to not use Nigerian professors. They don't rate our things. Its unfair but that's the way of the world.

I applied to Emory, UMCP, Ohio state university, Indiana university, Purdue, Bowling green state university, UPenn, and Penn state. Look for schools in top 150 or so. Dont go too far down. You need a top school so they can shower you with so much funding and you will be confident for interview.


Try to publish your Masters thesis before you apply, it really helps. Also I wanted to apply to 12 schools, but I stopped after my second admission offer came in.

BE CONFIDENT WHEN YOU GET THERE FOR INTERVIEW. TALK LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

GO FORTH AND CONQUER!!!!!!



No over think am, it is not rocket science.

Teledom1:


Yea sure ! If I am able to get an offer I will reach out . I’m going for my Doctoral though. What program you planning for at Morgan State

Mjosh1000:


No

dest4real:


The person who was able to book an interview space confirmed that he/she paid for VISA fees alongside the SEVIS fees. If you didn't do what he/she has done, you shouldn't expect the same processing time!

Have you paid your SEVIS fees?

Datst136:

Same here o .
I mailed the graduate school coordinator and he referred me back to the department admission committee. He also said that he doesn't know about the progress of my application.
Which program did you applied for?

liliberth:

sunspartech:


Does that mean without the payment of SEVIS FEE you won't be able to receive visa application approval? I don't think so
