NefT: Someone here was in a similar situation last spring. He had a PhD offer with no funding and he was promised funding after a semester. He got his visa and left. I think he got the funding afterwards. Remember that what works for Mr A may not work for Mr B. No one is praying a bad prayer for you but note the risks involved with resuming without funding for PhD. You have two options 1. Wait for one year or one semester and reapply to other schools : This seems like the safest option and all it will cost you is a wait time of 12 months. If you're taking this route, ensure you rewrite the GRE and increase your score to 315+. 2. Take the risk: This seems very risky but it may be fruitful if you have luck on your side. As I mentioned earlier, someone did this and was successful. You may also be successful but it's not a guarantee. I hope you know the risks involved. I can't really choose an option for you. I just hope you know the implications involved. I just want to clarify that you will get your visa whether or not you're funded for the PhD. It depends on how well you sell yourself to the VO. Search for the transcript of that person. He had his interview last spring. Goodluck 1 Like |

I have an inquiry to make. Will there be a problem at POE in JFK if my connecting flight from JFK is 16 hours after my arrival? My flight arrives 4PM and my connecting flight is 8AM the next day. I'm willing to wait cos I can't find a connecting flight from 6PM upwards and I don't want to arrive late at night. I just want to know if it will be an issue at POE. Thanks as I look forward to your responses. |

femi312: Wow, I really appreciate your input bro. My major is Environmental Engineering and I have done 3 researches but no publications yet. I wrote the GRE without preparation tho, so I might consider rewriting it also. I am looking at other schools like UTK, U of florida,UT while I also add Uni of pittsburg. |

tolatof: Don't misquote me! I didn't say his GRE cannot get him an offer. I said a higher GRE will obviously give him more options and I remember saying 315+ GRE will open doors better than UT Arlington for him. If he has 12 more months to prepare (since he is going for Fall 19), why shouldn't he use that time wisely by increasing his chances? I have said this earlier, forget the holistic review BS these schools tell you. A higher GRE will always open more doors for you. It works 85% of the time. Let's tell ourselves the truth |

Hello everyone. I'm a silent reader and I need help in terms of selecting school based on ranking. Two schools offered me admission for MBA in USA. Ball state University in Indiana and University of Wisconsin. Ball state University is ranked 99 in top public schools and 151 in business program. University of Wisconsin is ranked 20 in top public schools and 381 in business program. Please help, I am confused. Which ranking should matter to me, top public schools? Or businesses program? |

Chidinho10: Nope. JFK is your POE for immigration purposes. That’s what really matters. As long as you have your flight ticket for your connecting flight, you’d be ok. Everything after that is treated as a domestic flight... no issues. |
