Yes you can. But why both? Just asking because undergrad is capital intensive YoungWizard007: |

iamola30:People sometimes forget this. You are in direct competition with these guys especially for top schools. The University of Utah that he mentioned is not some random school. It's one of the top public institutions. |

EmeDavid:Contact EducationUSA. They have physical branches in Lagos and Abuja. You should also be able to reach them online. |

My small question is this: is there anyone schooling in University of Georgia? I logged into my profile now, and saw that my application has been decided, but they are insisting on me to pay the application fee ($100) which has been pending. Is there a way Someone can get information on the admission decision without paying going by the fact that the app fee is lot of money. I have already sent email to them today which hopefully they will reply by Monday or Tuesday. Lastly, does it worth it paying for pending app fee for some pending schools by 3rd week of February? That is when I could raise money to pay for those schools (Ohio State, Purdue, and Oklahoma State ) Modified** (On 22nd February) Finally canceled/deleted my application for Ohio State, sent an email to Oklahoma State to cancel my application due to inability to pay application fee, and lastly decided to attend the graduate information session/fair for Purdue. As for University of Georgia, I honestly don't have that money, so would be ignoring the application. I would also cancel pending application for North Carolina State. |

YoungWizard007: Most CS schools will accept you into computer science masters with mathematics background especially if you have relevant work experience. Alternatively you can consider cs adjacent programs like Software engineering, computer engineering, Artificial Intelligence etc depending on your interest. 1 Like |

DAramis: You don't need to pay all the application fees, don't let all these schools use your money eat suya. Exchange rate is high. Seek app fee waiving schools. I applied to 10 schools, I paid app fees for 2 schools, the other 8 waived it. 1 Like |

EmeDavid: My little contribution is for you to put in applications to two more schools to make up for the ones lost already. Look towards state universities for now. |

iamola30: What’s so competitive about Indians, Pakistanis and other Asians? Some Africans are very competitive as are some Asians. People should be encouraged to apply where they want. Not everyone is looking to Japa. |

DAramis: If you didn’t pay the fee, how did they get the file to evaluate? No offense, but I’m certain this is a rejection as graduate schools do not send incomplete files to the departments for review. Anyhow sha, if $100 isn’t a lot of money to you, you should pay it. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by Zihno: 2:07pm On Jan 28, 2023 |
iamola30: I understand. But i was speaking in general. People should apply wherever they want. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by DAramis: 2:09pm On Jan 28, 2023 |
iamola30: I don seek for app waiver tire for these pending 3 universities. Only Purdue sent mail for me to register for graduate fair which will hold in March (already late to me. I would prefer to pay for them consider me for admission and funding under fast track than attend the event and lose out completely. IOWA State showed me shege last Fall application despite scaling the initial review, and being told they will consider my application for next academic semester since there is no slot to admit me. Few weeks after fall semester started, they sent love letter ). If you don't mind, can you drop the names of schools you applied to. Might have one or two of them I could apply to, and probably get app fee waiver like you. |

Zihno:My documents was actually complete. From unofficial transcript to recommendation letter. Every requirement was ticked ✔️✔️☑️ |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by YoungWizard007: 2:14pm On Jan 28, 2023 |
Zihno: Thanks you for that I will look into that in coming applications |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by EmeDavid: 2:17pm On Jan 28, 2023 |
Bro, you're right. My profile is very very weak. I need to up my game now. I will try to gather all the other parts of my application, which are GRE, Even if is one publication, stronger SOP, if I have the funds I evaluate my transcript, then apply strategic; strategic I mean is, applying to schools in a region not to known, and also making sure I run away from those hat waive Application fee. iamola30: 2 Likes |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by Zihno: 2:30pm On Jan 28, 2023 |
DAramis: Most won’t review if you don’t pay the fee. Some don’t even allow you to submit without the fee. Hopefully you hear back from them soon. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by BigIyanga: 2:32pm On Jan 28, 2023 |
EmeDavid:Take GRE cos it’s going to boost your chances for funding |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by Zihno: 2:32pm On Jan 28, 2023 |
EmeDavid: Don’t bother with GRE. Literally 95% of bio science programs have done away with it. 5 Likes |

EmeDavid: You need a Killer SOP and evaluate your transcript as well if you have the means. Look for school waiving GRE. And fire back again. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Zihno: Exactly, but if he has the means and mental strength he can take it. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by BigIyanga: 2:38pm On Jan 28, 2023 |
EmeDavid:There are still a lot of open opportunities for you. Apply to more schools. Using a 3rd party for US college application is way too early. Do it yourself and you’ll get seasoned by the experience. Dont over-load God’s work.. God has given you brain, stamina and connect.. execute!! Good luck |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by iamola30: 2:38pm On Jan 28, 2023 |
DAramis: Have you evaluate your transcript with WES. They require it. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by DAramis: 2:45pm On Jan 28, 2023 |
Zihno:Yeah, I was navigating the website of the said school where I saw the information. It has not been processed because of the pending fee. Damn, that is lots of money, but let me see how it goes. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by iamola30: 2:46pm On Jan 28, 2023 |
EmeDavid: Don't run from school waiving application fees, you need to save cost. Considering the exchange rate, just be competitive and apply early too. App fee waivers are the sweetest. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by DAramis: 2:46pm On Jan 28, 2023 |
iamola30: I didn't do that. you can forget about it then. |
