. Why would you wanna give yourself unnecessary "headache" . Fly directly to that your school so you don't have issues at POE, then travel to anywhere you want once you get in .

deWav:
Please, i need your constructive advice.

I'm a tech savvy guy, never been tutored but somehow catch up on tech. I intend changing to computer science from chemical engineering(fantastic field, but feel like conquering another) for masters.

Here is the thing; considering both fields are dissimilar, is that a red flag for the VO?

GPA:3.01/4.00 (WES unofficial)
GRE: In a couple of days
TOEFL: Next Month

I have been discouraged from changing field on grounds on visa & funding.

Schools I've contacted about MS in Computer Science(no specialization yet).
University of Texas—​Austin
University of Massachusetts—​Amherst
Brigham Young University, Provo, UT
University of Houston

UH seem to have the better option. Here is an extract from the mail with the CS grad cord (she was so blunt).



Every School i have contacted seem to be directly or indirectly hinting at have the pre-requisites down first before consideration.
So if i manage to secure admission directly without these pre-requisites i could end up having my 1st year solely on pre-requites and foundation courses at full cost as no one is will to fund someone still testing the waters.

Someone advised I secure an admit in chemical Engineering solely for the VO, when i get there I request for transfer of my I-20 to a CC to obtain these pre-requisites. After which I could have more options shooting for top schools and possible secure some level of assistantship, as a year in the school system will expose me to more ways to secure funding.
I'm skeptical of plying this route due to stories for the school insisting on having a semester with them before transferring of out-rightly terminating the I-20.

How will you advise i go about it?

Boss, and other seniors on this thread I beg your advice would be appreciated... there was an error on my gtbank receipt print out, my old passport number was reflected on the receipt.... I have not registered for appointment yet......Have you any experience on how to go about such circumstance please?

djmakson:
You presented your old passport when you should have shown the valid one. However, what matters is the pin on that GTBank receipt. That's what enables you to book an appointment. You are fine.

Drop your comments

DeeTus:
Not answering questions correctly but saying the "right thing".

Please post your two transcripts.

akin3102:
Yup

worry359:


You did not answer the "questions rightly"
because you have been refused twice.
There must be some fundamental error in your submission.

Tell us the exact reason for refusal given on the papers that you received from the VO.
Was it 214b or something else?

Nice. I think I will check out Geico. I was thinking Esurance is the cheapest. I am on comprehensive for $98/month. The car is a AWD V6 2008 Lexus IS 250 sedan car. It's kind of a luxury car. The insurance payment depresses me monthly. Hope I cut a better deal with these tips.

LagosismyHome:

while it is very possible....some schools are funny and do ask for a deposit or for you to spend a semester first or some other funny rules...although a lot of school do not so its best to confirm what exactly is that school policy for transfer of Sevis

obquinn:

Me:no av not
VO: who's sponsoring you
Me:my uncle
VO: did u take any exam
Me:no
VO:are you working presently
Me: yes in one private secondary Sch near where I live
And that was all

codedove:
. Well, here's just my 1cent. Why are u going to The United State.. just tell the VO .. you are going to study nursing and stop telling him or her the duration of your program. Pls let's start making visa interview like conversation .
