BRO I CHECKED THERE TUITION FEES I DON'T REALLY GET IT PLEASE I WILL LIKE TO KNOW THERE TUITION

I can give u a rough idea to all those schools.

Averagely graduate student offering 9credit per semester pays about $6.2k (tuition and fees). If it is 12 credit, it is around 7.4k (tuition and fees) per semester.

Those three schools fees are cheap compare to their counterparts in other states. But, any graduate student with assistantship will just be paying about 1k. Just fees.

Most times, i believe the CO/VO wants to see the score not evidence of registration, i think getting your school to write a TOEFL waiver and evidence of registration should take you out of that situation.
Best wishes as you prepare ahead for your visa interview.

Can you seek admission to University without sitting for any necessary exam but tell them you only registered for those exams? Pray they don't ask because caught lying would be detrimental to your dreams. Since it's not required by your school and you've taken the important one (GRE), just go with that in case you are not given the opportunity by the ETS.
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part3 by king14: 3:42pm On Oct 08, 2012
Trust me you dont need TOEFL you have GRE, I suppose you are going for Grad school. You are fine. i went with only GRE, as a matter of fact the VO will ask for GRE
once its a Grad application. Nevertheless go with whatever document you feel will present your case better, but you will be fine with just GRE. Wish you success!

Try calling them on phone. They usually get lots of traffic as the amount of people registering for the GRE could get enormous. Their number is on their website.

Its just one GMAT file out of the whole lot that requires a password. Unfortunately, I don't have it now.

Those three schools fees are cheap compare to their counterparts in other states. But, any graduate student with assistantship will just be paying about 1k. Just fees.
In addition, generally there are resident and non-resident fees, the former being cheap and for residents of the state(s) where the uni is located and the latter being quite expensive (most times twice the residency amount) and for students from other US states and international students as well. For some schools, as an international student landing a GA or scholarship or financial assistance of any sort qualifies you to pay in-state tuition or residency rate. Also, for some schools, this may come with full tuition waiver or a waiver close to that. Meaning that you don't have to pay tuition and fees. Now, if you're enrolling in spring semester, for example, and your tuition is say $6300 (we'll assume you got a GA job and qualified for in-state tuition), you have the priviledge of either paying the full fee up front or dividing it into 3 and paying it each semester, that is $2,100 in spring, again in fall, and then again in spring.

Hey folks,
Have you guys heard of the US BS degree for $10000? Please, does it apply to International Students as well and if not, does it mean in these schools, International Students fees too would be reduced? Whoever has more information should please provide it to the house here particularly, those in schools that have agreed to start this next fall.
Regards,

Julie55: Hello house,
I was denied F1 visa last month.
The interview was so short,the VO was typing MOST of the time. He rarely looked at me.
I was asked just 4 questions-
1)Why Public Health?
Me- I have a passion to serve people, and improve the quality of health for those around me, rising need for public health specialists in Nigeria, etc
2)Who is sponsoring you?
Me- My Dad
3)What does he do?
Me- An engineer
4)What work do you do?
Me- A dentist
I answered fully. No documents were asked. After a long period of typing, he just said, Sorry....and that was all.
I was denied last year also. Same course, though a different school. So this year, I applied to a less expensive, but equally good school.
I have re-applied and will be going soon.
A few questions-
--Im trying to fill a new DS 160, but there is really nothing to change. I filled to first one as carefully, and truthfully as I could.I do not know how else that form could be filled.
--Do I need to snap a fresh passport? I still have copies of the passport I submitted last month.
--How about wearing a good sweater this time around. I felt too cold the other time.
--The 'remarks' section on my I20 says 'all funding subject to Consular Verification' Abeg apart from bank statements, what other 'verification' would they need?
--What else can I do, guys?
Hope to hear from you all!

Thank you for the information however, the school you quoted cost approximately $5400 per school year which amounts to at least $20000. What is being implemented is that the 4years of school which amounts to at least 120credit hours would cost at most $10000. It is a new law that would be implemented from Fall, 2013.
