Dreamhigh2016: I have seen your previous posts and their replies. You have to be decisive and specific when asking questions and it will even do you good if you read previous parts. After reading, you will become very informed and need no agent's help. You are still young, some of us didn't have the opportunity of thinking of schooling abroad let alone stumbling on this thread. 1 Like |

Hycon: I would say always match what is written on . your i20....should be the same info on Ds 160 Also computer information system is a part of information system so why should this even bother you in the first place. You can even start with a major and change next semester. Dont waste valuable time focusing on little non issue. Hycon , Spend time preparing good answers and stay away from generic things like student ratio (that answer irritates my ears) |

Good evening everyone? After my failure to secure a T.A, i am thinking of rewriting GRE and then apply for spring 2017. My present GRE score is 313, i am aiming for a 330 now. I plan on applying masters in Agricultural Engineering, my undergraduate course, i believe i have more chances for funding with it, as i worked with a lecturer on his Phd topic for my undergraduate project and I currently work in an agricultural related firm. I want to apply to UIUC University of Nebraska Lincoln KSU please i need suggestions. how do they calculate last 60 credit hours too |

Walspring: Actually why I got TB was that I changed the DS 160 bar code on my appointment page a day to my interview which was on a Sunday because of a little error on the former DS 160. I think the concept is one can track the status of ur DS 160 code before and after the your interview. It will say READY a day to your interview, REFUSED if one is been denied and ISSUED if your visa is granted. |

Not sure how writing another GRE will guarantee you. That extra leap is the favour of God. You got to the interview stage (which is commendable), work on how to best answer interview questions and portray your credentials. motifoluwasolami: |

oluwafemikolade: Except u are related to Osama bin laden or a name sake why would POE bother about checking your phone. They are not that jobless especially not that level of scrutiny for student visa. . .. yes in like vistor visa if they pull you out for interview they do check handluggage and all but i doubt phone content. Legally maybe they can but should be rare and for red flag cases Free your mind from stuff like that . Students travel everyday , hardly any issues. Just have all your school document close by and answer any question asked. You should be just fine. If it still on your mind then turn off your phone completely when u get to POE so its not a focus. For most student they spend less than 5mins at POE. Sharp sharp out and on your way 1 Like 1 Share |

Hycon:No u don't need to be worried, I had a similar situation. Going for Child Advocacy and Policy, but i20 stated social work with a code in front of it. That's what I filled in my ds160. Social work I didn't encounter any problems during my interview. All the best God goes with you! |

OK so let me share my story on my application journey . I hope this post encourages someone . When I started my application, I was on ground zero because I felt I wasn't even going to be admitted. But thank God for Bigfrancis21, his WES equivalency post some years back gave me the courage to kickstart my app. I also thank MsNass for trolling me when I sugegsted I wanted to go to CA. That made me apply to more schools. Fast-forward to this year, I got admitted, got the visa and reality set in. Funding wasn't even my thoughts but when I stumbled open GA positions on the school website, I decided I was going to get on. I was persistent. I applied to over 15 positions, didn't make the cut for 9 of those and got interviewed for 2. I did share my first interview experience here when I stated I prepared well, the interview was a 9/10 in my assessment but somehow I didnt make it. The second position was a Half-GA. I was busy trying to polish my excel and spss skills anticipating practical questions but lo and behold it was just normal interview questions (why should we hire you etc), I stuttered all through and I knew deep down I wasnt going to be picked. For prospective applicants, dont get offended when you are told to read back pages, you should and it is really helpful. I struck gold reading through one post about someone talking about persistence to get a GA, even as far as going from office to office once you and in the US and the extraordinary scene of a department opening up a new position for the student. So this is the key part of my post. Remeber there is a limit to which talent, intelligence and even a high profile application can get you, in summary human effort, for me it was second position. But our Heavenly Father in His infinite mercies opened up a way I never expected. I had already forgotten about the first interview I did, only for the Director to mail me, checking up on me and telling me they opened a new full time GA position and they were offering it to me. I was like I did not hesitate to accept the offer. That was how I secured a full time GA. (full tuition waiver plus a nice stipend monthly). And may I add that I am the first international student the department is hiring. It has always been Americans. The summary of this post is always hold on to God and do YOUR HOMEWORK. Be persistent and resilient. I never came here to ask for sample cover letter or guidelines etc (Pls do your own research). I spent minimum of 2hrs preparing my application for each of the 15 positions I applied for. Even when the rejection emails came in like wrecking balls, I was still persistent. Trust me GA is sweet esp in this challenging times we are in. Even if you are not on one now, pls and pls, make effort to apply, keep applying, continue applying until you get one. I always told myself the folks who have GA dont have 4 heads. And when you have God on your side, he doesnt follow protocol and statistics. on my school website,it says only 25% of new international students get a GA when coming in but God is not tied down to all statistics. Congrats to all those who got their visas today! God bless us all! 33 Likes |

motifoluwasolami: Maybe others can share their experience about writing GRE twice ..... when i wrote GMAT the score was good but i wanted better and registered again. Practised more to my great SHOCK i got exactly the same total score. Different section score but exactly the same score ..... since then i am cautious about writing those exams twice but maybe its only me that it annoyingly happened to Cc gunther6 you said u wrote gre twice already. Was there much difference in scores |

CBNL2014:people's opinion are different, I registered for my TOEFL through them,even though most people say TOEFL is easy I never had that mentality when I registered, even though the guy was never around for lectures, I studied with the ebooks I was provided with,I wrote my exam and I passed up to the extent that my school used my result to award me a $16k scholarship.So to the best of my knowledge they are good to go.it depends on what u re looking for. 1 Like |
