You have a fair profile, but the truth is that nothing from your profile stands out. Try and ace the GRE. I don't think any recommendations, no matter how lofty, would change the outcome. It is even hard for folks with 3.3/4 undergrad GPA. Masters GPA matters a bit but they care a lot more about undergrad. You can't change those but the only thing you can change is your GRE. Alternatively, apply to lower ranked schools but believe me great GRE scores can move mountains, especially at lower ranked schools. Hope I'm not too harsh.

Good advice - generally. I second that it seems these guys favour undergrad over msc - and even some msc are just advanced undergrad in some places...I am in no way saying the OP did an advanced undergrad msc oo.

Though the point of recommendations - they actually can move mountains. Just that I'm not sure whether the poster has access to the type of people who US academics know and respect and would listen to when they say "this student is good".

So, OP, I second this advice. As I said before, retake GRE, and focus your applications on not top schools. Get strong letters from the most research active people you can find who know you and can speak highly and provide a lot of research-relevant details about you.

Please not the half or one page letters that I often see oo that says you went to so so so school, got A's, and are well behaved, noo oo please. Lol. The letter has to be detailed. This type of letter takes days to write and can only be written by people who want to help you succeed.

I have been seeing funding everywhere lol does that mean those without funding will have difficulty getting visa?
And does it means once you have funding either full or partial it’s automatic ticket to get visa?
Just curious!

I am super grateful. Very clear and the school equally answered like you just did.

PotentialNurse:


Q1. I think you should send your Naira account statement to them, with an email explaining that you can’t get your statement in dollars and the equivalent of $1 in Naira.

Q2. If you fill their I-20’s now, I think their Living expenses will be added to your I-20 now(I’m not really sure), so I don’t think you should get it now.

Q3. You need to renew your passport now because when applying for visa, your passport must be at least 6 months to expiration. Since you’re yet to get your I-20, your interview date might likely fall in June or July which is less than 6 months to expiration.

I noticed that MAJOR stated in the I-20 form is different from the course e.g my course is CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT and my major is CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY.
Which one will one say when asked?

NigPatriot:


What's your major? - what's your intended course of study. At this point, say all you know about your proposed course of study. If the VO feels that's not what he wants to hear, he/she will clarify. You can begin with "I am going for a PhD in Gynaecology science, in the dept of Bleep" I have been admitted for an MSc in urban studies"

pebes:

I guess you can say you will be studying CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT with a concentration in CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY.
Let others add their input too.
