Hi guys,

For those applying to 'mushroom' schools, read and be guided. About 600 international students, mostly Indians were affected in this sting operation by ICE.

I have been sending statement of intent to faculty members on behalf of someone am assisting to seek RA funding for about 1week and so far have not gotten any response. Am i on track?

Hmn, I don't think it's a good idea to put up your SOP on an open platform like this. Anybody can easily plagiarise your work.

Good afternoon everyone, I already have an admission from University of Baltimore for aMsc Negotiation and Conflict Management but I want to apply to Columbia University also for the same program fall 2019. I want to submit my application today, I just want to ask if there is anyone here that has an idea in my area of interest who can help me check my statement of purpose for any errors or additions. Thank you.

Boss2411:
why is that everyone here is busy debating on my brown/Harvard admissions admission instead of helping me get scholarship..to be sincere I didn't know getting into such school can be competitive, I only search for the best school in us through which I found those school. I also told them that am very good in football and basketball which they requested for prove and I sent it to them..I will snap my admission letter/ i20 and upload it for you people to see yourself .But I hope am save? because this is a public forum. or is there any other way to clear the doubt? .I don't know how to send pm , so I will appreciate if you can help me out with any tuition waiver. I will give you the email and password I used in applying to the school

BikeMan:
If you think you scored 2260/1600 on the SAT,then something is wrong.I think a devious agent is trying to swindle you or you're just playing pranks.You're sounding less genuine everyday.Anybody that applied to an Ivy League institution would be more vast, I'm sorry:

kolalekan:

No, nobody would tell you the school to choose because you did not apply to any of them


No, you did not do anything yourself.


Okay, so you had 1246 then 1462 which is not valid and now you have 2260. You are sure you did everything yourself. Besides as Lagosismyhome said, there was no SAT August 25, I believe you are a Nigerian cos you mentioned you have been catering for yourself from ss1 - ss3 so do not tell us you wrote it outside Nigeria


Thanks for the clarification, this one is not serious


This cracked me up. The guy is here to troll, he is not genuine, how can a genuine student who was accepted not know the meaning of Ivy league, not know how to calculate his SAT score

======================

Finally, this is one big family. I am really grateful many stood up and someone volunteered to write a letter for him free. I was really happy that we have one another interests at heart. I should have contributed also but my main account, Olalekank was banned

I am surprised someone can come out and "lie" he was admitted to Harvard and does not know simple steps. Burst my head, he doesn't even know his SAT score.

I think we should just ignore whatever the joker has to say until he provides proof

Anyone?

Going forward, I think I will leave the undergraduate students to their race. Imagine a guy that came 2 weeks ago claiming he had a high score. I had called a few schools on his behalf claiming he is my cousin and already discussing with their honors college, asked him to send me a PM he didn't, and I sent him one with no response till date. Guess I am not going to stick my head out anymore.

Good day sir, I feel you're referring to me. I actually got a message from @Bikeman and @Idibia18 , I also sent one to @fairheart. Unfortunately, I didn't get your pm. I'll send you one just right now. Thanks very much.

House I need your advice!

I applied to Kansas State University to study BSc in Milling Science and Management. I have been admitted and have got my I-20.
I finished my secondary school in 2007 and I have OND and BSc in Computer Science. Also married with 2 kids and i have applied for b1/b2 visa twice and was denied.
I currently work in grain milling industry in Ghana spanning 8 years working experience.
I passed all IOAM exams modules and I am certified in 2012. IAOM means International Association of Operative Millers.

Kansas State University is the only university in the that offers degree in Milling Science and Management hence the reason why I applied to the school in order to become expert and grow in the industry.

What is my chance of getting visa with the following:

Marriage status
Already have a BSc and still applying for another BSc
Already denied for B1/B2 visa twice

GboyegaD:


Might be able to help if Monday wouldn't be too late as I have couple of things lined up for the weekend.

BikeMan:
GboyegaD, this man is very credible. How far?Have you heard from those schools?

demmysoft:


@ walspring, Lagosismyhome, Bikeman fairheart and the all Gurus in the house, I need to pm you for some update and guide on my transcript. Secondly, I wanted to ask if I should use self sponsor, third party sponsor or company sponsor for my application, I applied for Computer Professionals Program in computer science in MUM, they only required $5000 ($3000 prepayment + $2000 personal expense money) to be reflected on the account of which I can provide that on my personal account, the other funds would be on student loan. kindly advise on the kind of sponsorship suitable for this application. I mean the one that will boost my chance with VO since I have savings that can cover up this expenses personally do you think its wise to use self sponsor.

Thanks.

Good morning to everyone here (Nigerian time).

I did a Skype interview yesterday for my PhD application to USF. It was a very friendly chat, took around 23 mins. Seems I'm going to get a good funding.

My question is this.

I wish to go with my wife and baby. How feasible is it for us to get our f1 and f2 visas at the same time and travel together (I'm referring to visa application/VO issues).


I know there issues about home ties etc, hence this question.

LagosismyHome:


It feasible but nobody can predict the outcome. You just have to go for it and hope for the best.

Some people have been given together and some have been denied so it hard to say. Just be prepared to defend how you intend to take care of all 3 and why you need your family to be there. If they are not given then they can always try again.

It might be better to go first , secure yours first and they go for theirs later even if it a few days later
