zeezahbee:
have you checked the rating of your so called school. it a catholic school tucked in south bend
there acceptance is 21% because its for broke ass like you.
Go prepare for your interview and find a way to put some funds in that your empty account
next time, do not say it outside that some people will spoil your chances. Everyone is wired for success.
Enjoy

I dont know your stress with him......dont we have our choice of opinion here anymore?
Because you are now in the umited states or because people seek advice from you as you have experience the process means they must do what you want?

For christ sake the guy have the right to disclose what ever he wish to or not so also you have the right to respond or not to respond to his question or help.......you dont judge a man by looking at him now because we dont know tomorrow and because he decided to be fully transparent because he needs help does not mean u use it against him and insult him..... please lets drop all this unnecessary i know it all and help who we want to help and over look those we felt we cant or dont want to. lets be one....one love

Just for your information, with regard to your second point, aligning your interests with those of our faculty members is nowhere near as important for our program as it would be for a Ph,D. program. Our funding for assistantships, as a rule, comes from administrative units rather than research. Accordingly, our decisions with regard to whom to fund are based primarily on a combination of GPA and professional experience

Please, guys, what do you make of the above?
Thanks.

Might be helpful to include your second point which was referred to, but reading between the lines I guess you asked if aligning your interests to those of the faculty members will increase your chances of getting funding and they are saying not really as decision on funding for the program is based on gpa and experience and not research interests.

For a PhD program, having aligned interests with the faculty will help with funding as phd is research based, but not this program which I assume is a masters program as funding is more administrative hence the need for experience not research interests.

Hope that helps

sirRiddy:
Very helpful, sir.
However, when he says it is administrative, what will
the GA position entail? Sorry for asking too many questions.

ttmacoy:
Simply put the GA role available for the program you are applying for is administrative in nature i.e. funded by a particular administrative department where you will work hence why he said it is based on your experience and not research interest as would have been the case if it was a graduate research assistant role for a PhD program.

See below from a university's website which explains further:

The official title of Graduate Assistant (GA) is used in all university documents, but, in general practice, Graduate Assistants are referred to either as Graduate Teaching Assistants (TAs), Graduate Research Assistants (RAs), or Graduate Administrative Assistants (AAs).

Administrative Assistantships
A number of academic and non-academic units employ Graduate Administrative Assistants (AAs), generally to perform administrative support functions in an office setting.

sirRiddy:
Hmmm
Quite a new dimension to what I was thinking then.
Thanks a lot, bro.

I guess you can apply from anywhere depending on which one best suites you. But based of ties, applying from home would be the best. Was in your shoes then, I Came back from Dubai to Nigeria for my Visa. Hope this helps. Goodluck.

aadeyi:


Just send the money to your sister, fill the sevis form online @ https://www.fmjfee.com/i901fee/desktop/students/formSelection.htm
