Hello Amaka, I am sure there are lot of majors in information system that are related to accounting. I would advise you visit usnews.com to search for schools and their courses. Most schools nowadays do not require any standardized scores but I would advice you take at least GRE not for admission purpose but rather to increase your chances of getting funding from the school. All the best Amaka Osigweeee: 1 Like 1 Share |

Hi everybody, Please, for those who are currently applying for PhD, did you have to email one of the faculty members whose research interests aligned with yours to facilitate your admission process. I applied for 3 PhD positions since September and this were open positions for Fall intake. However, I just felt like doing a follow up with graduate departments and one of the response I received seemed to suggest they are "ONLY" accepting those candidates whose "would be" mentors has approved for their applications to move to the next stage. If anybody can throw more light to this, it would be much appreciated. Best Regards |

IwinosaA: She can apply for f2 with you. She can state that she doesn't work at the moment and will like to travel with you to keep you company and give you moral support. You should have money that will cover your living expenses for at least one year. Note that she can't work nor school while in the US with f2 visa. She can't even work or freelance online while in US with f2 visa. 1 Like |

Capitalbase: Yes, you should first contact the supervisor you will like to work with. PhD is not Masters. It's usually competitive and they are very selective. So, to increase your chances, you will go to the faculty page and choose the professor that their research interests align with yours and send them cold email. In your cold email, you will introduce yourself, talk about your GPA, your research interests, your proposed research topic, and your interest to be mentored and supervised by them. ***Please, contact one professor per department per school. In your cold email, you can even request for a Zoom meeting at their earliest convenience. A professor that replies you and agrees for a Zoom meeting, is probably interested in working with you. After meeting with them on Zoom meeting, send in your application. In your Statement of Purpose, state the fact that you will like to be mentored by that professor and that you have had a conversation with them via Zoom. Also, admission decisions for Fall 2023 will be coming in by February and March. Admission portals for Fall usually opens around September or October. So, you will have to exercise patience to get a decision. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

eniola1010: You can enter via PhD which is the easiest option for you. You mustn’t finish the program. Most people don’t. |

CreativeWeb:contacting a supervisor is not the issue rather, it's whether one must secure one before admission is granted. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by Capitalbase: 11:18pm On Nov 28, 2022 |
CreativeWeb: Thanks a lot for this detailed response. However, I already applied a long time a go (September) and I didn't have to contact anybody. But I will start sending out email following your ever-helpful guidance. I appreciate it. Well, na God get power. |

pongwa: Some PhD programs demand that you first contact a supervisor. If you check requirements for SoP, you will see where they asked if you have a faculty member you will like to work with. Some schools will give you admission whether you are in touch with a supervisor or not. Some will not give you admission because they will usually ask people in that department if they want you. This is where prior conversation becomes important. 1 Like |

CreativeWeb: What's the essence of going then if the f2s can't work, to further burden the PhD student on stipends? |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by Nozino: 4:12am On Nov 29, 2022 |
Idaytesj29: An F2 can always change visa. The Spouse may adjust status and apply for an F1, get an E class visa or get a job with sponsorship. It’s easy to seek these opportunities when you’re already in the US. 1 Like |

eniola1010: Horrible idea. Find a PhD or stay in the UK. A recession is expected in early 2023 so you won't find a lot of employers hiring at this time. 1 Like |

Capitalbase: Not in all cases but it is highly advisable you do so, more so because the graduate departments you have contacted have strongly suggested it. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by pongwa(m): 7:23am On Nov 29, 2022 |
CreativeWeb:oh! I understand you perfectly now. I applied to two schools, one asked if I had contacted a faculty staff and that I should mention his name. The other asked me to state the supervisor I would want to work with. However, there was nowhere I was asked to state the person I wanted to work with in my SoP. I guess these things differ for each school. Although, I got a response from one of the supervisors but I'm still waiting for the second. Thanks for the clarification though. |

For Fall 2023 resumption, is it advisable to have an interview date at April? SEVIS fee is going to expire by July. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by drjustice17: 1:16pm On Nov 29, 2022 |
It depends on School. Many Schools will ask you to apply directly to the department or Graduate School, then after one year of rotation, you will choose PI. Why others will ask you to e-mail a PI. Just check the department's website Capitalbase: |
