Pls wat r de necessary doc one needs for interview?

TWoods:


Ah thank you! Always happy to help... it's a lot easier to help folks who are starting from scratch. If you've got a high GPA (>4.0) you've frankly got the best shot... we should talk, on here. If your GPA isn't that high, that's still not a problem. A lot of graduate schools do not care so much about your final GPA as much as the trajectory of improvement from year to year. If your GPA is low because of a poor first/second year performance but the last 1-2 years were pretty strong, you got a good chance. My only advice would be to take the GRE, always.

Always be wary about schools who don't ask for the GRE. Those are typically smaller schools who care more about the tuition you're paying than the education they are providing. Better schools like the GRE because it is also another means to thin out the applicant pool.

Get to know your admissions coordinator, they always have email addresses or phone numbers you can use to contact them. Especially as an international student who will be relying on a visa, i can't tell you how useful this was for me. She was like a mother to me my first year.

Give yourself at least 1 year to plan. 2-3 is even better. You want to get admission and a visa all in one shot, to avoid stories that touch the heart (there is no guarantee of course, but to be prepared is to improve your chances greatly).

Spare a thought for where your school is located. America isn't the same cost-wise. Schooling in NYC, NJ, California... all look good on facebook. Until you have to pay for rent, transportation, food etc. If you intend a modest cost of living, try Michigan (i loved living there! It's cold in winter but an absolutely lovely state for outdoor activities in spring to fall). It's also a cheap state. Other places to look out for, NM, TX, WI etc. Don't look for cost of living advice when you are now looking to get a visa, its too late.

Funding - you will get far better funding opportunities at better established, highly competitive public schools. I find it sad that it is rare to find anyone here applying to Duke, Harvard, Rochester, UPenn, UMich, MSU, NYU, UNC etc. Why not? Aliens are not the only people admitted there.

Let's face it, 99.9% of folks will be looking to stay and get a job in the US after school. Don't lie . If that's the case, then your school choice is ever more important! You want to go to a school that your future employer doesn't have to use google to find! That is not good... especially in a crowded job market.

Anyway... i truly wish all genuine applicants the best. As for the frauds for whom a student visa is only a vehicle to immigrate to the US.
well, i wish you the best too.

I really liked the way you laid everything down.. but people have been saying things about fraud a lot here.. Please who is the fraud and who is the genuine student as regards the bolded, I think everyone is a fraud then. Maybe I am wrong but I know I will love to get a well paid job after my studies in the US and that is why I am about leaving a job an offer from dangote in order to pursue my msc and I know I will get a better job afterwards. Does that make me a fraud?


Modified.. don't bother replying me.. i have seen the difference in between the lines. Thanks.

congrats ...does your school allows you to arrive long earlier before resumption date ?

TWoods:


The VOs aren't stupid. I think they can spot a fraud quite easily.

No, they cannot. Otherwise the many illegals in the US today will not be there. The VOs are no seers.

Anybody going to Park University, Missouri?

Please help! I have just received my Form i20 after having to pay for eShip only to discover that my Passport name was not entered on my Form i20 (the column was left blank). Other information were entered and correct. Would there be an issue presenting this i20 for visa interview and/or at the POE? Has anyone seen such before? Please I need your opinion/advice

Reach out to the school and have it corrected....i20 is an important document for student so it has to be right

Usually since the error is their side then they should cover the cost to ship you a new one asap

That's how it is the passport name column is always blank but the name column and preferred name must have your name.. Hope you understand. No course for Alarm... You could pm me so I'll explain

calmman:


Thank you Ma

I am not a guru o but what you mean is that the column that has passport name was left blank, but the one that has surname was filled and the one that has given name was also filled and the preferred name also.. Well that's how mine is and I have seen a few also and they got their visa. It is not an issue, since your name is on the i-20 already but what do I know.reach out to your school as the guru's have said.

Family, abeg I just noticed on my form i20, my program which is masters program which starts January 8 2018,ends January 2021, is that suppose to be so, hope. It won't bring. Issues at the embassy, as I believe the masters program suppose to be for 2 years

Nomal practise would be 2 years but yes i have seen some schools put an additional one year buffer and it was fine .... you just need to make sure that your ds160 matches ur i20 and if the Vo asked you state that it a 2 years program . I seen it so most likely the Vo has .

No issue here

Any thoughts/comments on landing at Newark Liberty International Airport New Jersey using Ethiopian Airlines.

I haven't read any Poe experiences at EWR and flight experiences with ET. The flight time is amazing & it's relatively cheap... just 13 hours. I wonder why people prefer Royal Air Maroc that has about 25 hours flight time with an 11 hour layover at Casablanca & same price range.
