Thanks... it doesnt state if h1b to green card is impacted which is equally important. If you cannot convert h1b to green card then some companies will even be more hesitant to hire Nigerians for h1b

Then what was used to evaluate the international students at Urbana Champagne to determine their admissibility into their Law School?

You must understand that prior to now, LSAT is or was a requirement to get into Law school in the USA. Things may be different now, you can guide the person that asked the question and tell him what is needed to get admission into the Law School at Urbana Champagne.

All I know is that there must be an admission test to evaluate the admissibility of the applicants, maybe they now use GRE as a parameter too in the University of Illinois Urbana Champagne. WHO KNOWS!

Many thanks brother, I asked her to email grad coord for admission inquiry.

(vo cuts in again )

VO: please hold on (gets on the phone and a superior appears and they turn off the microphone so I can’t really hear what they are saying and looking at the screen)

Me: thanks

35K deficit.

Have you been hustling over there to pay fees? why have u been bitter over USA?

For the Fall/Summer 2020 Candiadtes

It's been a long time here.. My apologies for the unreplied mails and mentions. I had to take some time off to focus on my studies.

I had lots of candidates contacting me to ask if there is still hope to study in the United States and my response is still a big YES.

The ban is placed on only immigrant visas ( Visa that will require permanent stay, e.g wife filing for husband or husband filing for mother for permenant residence, etc.). It does not affect non-immogrant visas( F, J and H categories visa).

Visa approval has always been a stuggle for Nigerians. But where there is a will, there is a way.

That been said, don't lose your steam! keep pushing and elevating your game. No one will deny an exceptional candidate admission, funding and Visa.
Do everything within your capacity to be exceptional.

Peace,
B2G

Instead of looking through people transcript to pick holes.... why dont you open your mind to a balance view of things. The point for and the point against so that when you make a decision it is an informed decision . Not just for school but life in general

Not every arguement against a topic is about bitter, trash jealousy or some other stupid words people use easily .

Experience is usually the best teacher and it's very powerful sometimes hearing from other experiences. It makes you gain insight and learn what ever mistake or enhance your journey in life.

Hello,
I need advice urgently. I applied to 4 schools : University of Toledo, Creighton University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and University of Rhode Island. I received an approval from Southern Illinois plus teaching assistantships with a deficit of $4500. They are asking me to send my original transcript and also upload a statement of account before the admission will be official. Now my problem is, accepting this offer from SIUE, does it mean I have forfeited the other schools who are yet to make their admission decisions? SIUE was my safe school as the other schools rank higher, won't the VO query me on why I chose SIUE over Other schools? For the second question, I am afraid telling the VO that only SIUE accepted me will make me look like an incompetent student which I am not.

I dont know if it's right or wrong but I do it anyways ..lol. I have accepted an offer and when a better one came along I went to reject the first offer ... I am sure school understand that why they have last minute waiting list .

On the second question... if only Siue accepted that will not stop you from getting your Visa. Prepare well for the overall interview and other questions.

Nice but his statements are usually vague. He hasn't said the reason why he is frustrated over there.

Good morning


I recently got an offer from Texas Tech, could anyone please explain what the out-of-state tuition waiver entail?

Good morning

The waiver means : allow out-of-state students to pay tuition at in-state rates. International student usually pay "out of state tuition"

For example according to Google this is the tuition for Texas tech In-state 8,428 USD, Out-of-state 18,220 USD.... so if given a waiver an international student will pay 8k instead of 18k so a discount/ saving of 10k usd

Exactly my point. If you have been following his posts you will notice that he is implying we don't come to USA because things are hard.

I asked him how? He didn't give any explanation but kept on hammering that we should avoid USA and that is discouraging.

He has refused to share his experience of the difficulties he is experiencing over there that is making him discourage others from coming.

Does it look like a good offer?

Also, they asked for about $21k statement to be issued I-20. Is that the amount i will pay for the whole program including rent and books?

A good offer is always relative to your pocket .... I come from a place where anything is better than nothing if it a school I want . Well not anything. If the outstanding balance is doable by my pocket

21k minus 8k is 13k .. so maybe that cover rent, books and any other fees. Usually it is listed what this entails and it usually an estimate. You can be more prudent and spend less and then if you get job on campus it helps offset some of these

Daddy as a sponsor for me is stronger than self sponsor ...well depending on your age and course .

If SUIE deadline to accept the admission isn’t close, I will suggest you wait for other schools to send their decisions.

MS data science is expensive and usually not funded. MS business analytics is quite expensive and it being done in business school as packaged deal with MBA makes funding slim.

As you have a computer science degree, look for MS in computer science or computer Information Systems. This will increase your chances of funding then you can do business analytics option. You can always learn analytics online or in boot camps.

You can kill two birds with one stone. Check my other posts

Thanks for this amazing response, it’s an eye opener.

I read your post about going for MS information systems in a business school. Can you please offer some suggestions. Thanks again

They didn't even mention anything about deadline. They only said I had been approved by the department and I have been chosen as a teaching assistant. They now said I need to send my official transcript, degree certificate and proof of funds.
