As I said earlier my head is valid. I was asked to forward an updated bank statement cus I sent a statement and my application last year november, I did and next thing I saw was I got a notification from dhl that I have a package containing I-20. Guess what? Its free of charge. Fortissimo: |

Lols thank u sir... I am also quite frankly surprised. In my mind I feel the school made a mistake Fortissimo: |

malory84: The course is not under STEM, secondly, related course that can make u work under UN is offered at Bridgeport . Global development and peace. I have been admitted and I have my I 20 now.. My plans is to enroll for first semester and transfer my unit to community college for courses under STEM.. 1 Like |

purplesummer: You could check on the career page for non-teaching GA awards. It could be some offices like Graduate Student Office, Student Hostels as Community/Resident Advisor position amongst others. 2 Likes |

malory84: Not sure but I don't think there's much difference. MIT, Caltech, etc call themselves institutes abi. Also going by wiki, the parent institution of your "institute" is Middlebury College, a very respectable school. Let's see what others say. |

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by malory84: 4:52pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
don4ye: Oh wow. I will check out the school. Are you going for the Global development and peace program? Also, how can someone with an social science background just transition into STEM, just like that! The VO's will think its just a strategy to get into the US system. I equally don't think the schools will offer me admission with no prior undergraduate STEM courses. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by malory84: 4:55pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
worry359: This is serious. So are you implying that people like me don't stand a chance of getting good jobs after graduating? I was thinking of pursuing a PHD, then get into lecturing. Heard they are paid well. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by malory84: 4:58pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
Fortissimo: Yes they are under Middlebury College. That was why i even gave it a thought. Don't just want anything that will raise eyebrows in the interview. So needed to find out from gurus in the house and also on the course. |

If you want to work with NGOs (most are health related), you should have a health background(like taken one or two courses). And you should apply for a program that falls under a STEM degree (at least to be marketable on the job market). I got admitted for Healthcare Mgt (a STEM degree), in Cal state LA(Really Affordable school but LA cost of living...LOL), and good job prospects for NGOs and UN-like organizations. So maybe you email the grad coordinator and ask if Mass com is acceptable in d list of undergrad programs. On the long run for me, I am also looking at NGOs but defnitely not just US. NGOs in Nigeria like FHI, 1 AIDS foundation (cnt rem the name) & another that partnered with Harvard are all in Nigeria and they pay REALLY WELL. Personally I rate NGOs over Banks and even oil firms but not Tech companies. malory84: |

What Gboyega said earlier is correct. I applied to over 5 departments (mostly non-teaching, residential, admissions office etc). And once you meet their requirements, you just apply. Next stage is usually an interview and then a decision will be made. Apply to as many as you can (if there is no limit) but personally I prefer GA in my department. [quote author=purplesummer post=44058226]I got partial scholarships in 3 of the 4 schools I applied to. No GA though, just awards. How can I possibly apply to other departments for a GA position while I'm still in Nigeria? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 5:12pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
Mekurexx how far? Have you decided? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Mekurexx: 5:15pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
It just kinda feels like he is doing some GA work for their admissions office. Marketing the school. Cuz the way the guy hypes the school, I actually had to check out the school. But another private Uni for me is a No No. Lol don4ye: |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Mekurexx: 5:20pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
The last school hasnt given admission decisions yet. Is your program a STEM degree? You should check one stemdegreelist like that if your course falls under it. I guess you decided on MS.... Fortissimo: |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 5:31pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
Mekurexx: if chemistry isn't STEM then I dunno what is. Yeah i've decided o. So is the last school a dealbreaker for you? Like your No1 choice |
