The bolded statement in your statement isn't true. There are many "serious" and highly ranked schools that won't give letter of funding until weeks later of giving admission letters. - many people here can testify to this.

Schools differ, and are unique in their modus operandi. Relate with your Graduate coordinator, they are the ones with the perfect information especially with regards funding.

Thanks for this clarification. I was also wondering how Georgia state university and university of Illinois are classified as unserious schools. Meanwhile on this same thread I saw people with half scholarships and assistantship from these schools, that's why I asked for advice from those people already in the system who knows better, I don't need advice that would discourage my efforts.

Amen

Hello everyone. I graduated with Bsc Biochemistry and I intend applying for MS Biology (concentration in Cancer Biology) for fall'21. Though I have applied to some few schools. However, I got a conditional admission into Jacksonville state university for fall'21 and I'm waiting for their funding decision as it is not out yet. I'm open to any information as regards JSU GTA and to what extent "conditional admission" can make or mar an applicant at the visa interview.

I wish to apply to more schools (those that accept below 2.5 GPA) with either full or partial funding. I'll be gad if I can get vital information concerning this.
Here is my profile:
Undergraduate GPA: 2.67/4.0 ( WES evaluated)
TOEFL score: 73
I'm currently preparing for IELTS and GRE so as to boost my profile. Please I am open to all suggestions and help. Thank you in advance.

I doubt they would consider you for funding on a "conditional" admission.

Hi guys I need your honest opinion on this, like put yourself in my shoes and tell me what you would do. ok so I started this studying abroad journey back in 2019 I was fresh out of high school and didn't plan on schooling in Nigeria, Canada has always been the only country on my mind. So I apply to one school in Canada, university of Manitoba, Winnipeg I was granted admission in November 2019 and applied for visa December of that same year, my decision envelope came and I was denied because of insufficient fund not because I didn't have the money the account wasn't funded so we funded the account and applied again and I forgot to add am not the only one going it's me and my junior sister and when I mean wasn't funded the money there wasn't enough for two people. So we funded the account and applied again in February 2020 and yes we we're using an agent so I didn't get any response from the embassy till October when only passport was returned without it being stamped and a little note which says Decision making is still in progress, final decision not taken I found that weird but since they gave a reasons I kept on waiting sending emails and webforms till February when I reached out to my agent and he said he got a mail from IRCC and he needed to see us privately and I was like wondering what went wrong so we met up with him only to tell me I've been banned from Canada for 5years for misrepresentation. Turns out IRCC already sent him an email since October to respond to clear their suspicion about misrepresentation and my agent didn't respond to them neither did he let us know about it until he was arrested, This was the same for my sister. I posted that on nairaland asking for you guys help and so on, i was told to avoid these countries:US UK Australia and New Zealand because they share the same database with Canada. Now I've searched for countries and I've come to the decision that Germany was ok for both me and my sister I've even picked two schools already and yes I'm going for a Bachelors degree and I plan to study anything relating to business, it could be marketing, business admin.,management e.t.c. ok so now I've spent 2yrs at home already and all my classmate are in school and I don't want to waste this year again on a country that would waste my time and money then not grant me visa and with what am seeing they said booking Appointment date with Germany is like asking the Nigerian government to pass a death sentence bill for (financial) corruption which is a first red flag for me like I don't have have another year to waste I want my application to move smoothly. my question is do you have any know European country that I could try I mean put yourself in my shoes and tell Me what you would do? At this point I'm confused and No schooling in Nigeria is not an option neither is schooling in Ukraine Cyprus or turkey so pls I need as much opinions as I can get

Hello brother, your story really touched me and every day we learn that doing it ourselves is the best and not to use any agency of any kind. I finished high school in 2013 but just started school last year august so you have a lot of time ahead of you. Don't be bothered about your friends in school, everyone has their own path and I believe you have chosen the right part.

Now, if you want to make progress, you have a lot of research to do. I know for a fact that public schools in Germany, Norway, Belgium and some other scandinavian countries are tuition free. It appears your parents can pay for the living expenses so you are good to go. Start making your research and reaching out to people who are already there.

I read thru the thread and I can say you're competitive applicant.
Please change your recommenders that's the only area we don't know
And try to apply to some safe school

Please can we all contribute to this please I think someone had something similar to this last two years on this thread , I received my i-20 for the fall semester yesterday and this was what I was seeing in the i-20, at the left hand side tuition fees and living expenses altogether is $22,300 , at the right hand side of the i-20 students funding for 9 months, personal funds $0 , funds coming from the school $0, Father $55,000 because father was used as the sponsor. This actually means that the school calculated the SOA of my father and then put $55,000 there, please aren't you seeing this as a problem and that this might confuse the VO, since the amount in both sides are different? Please anyone with similar experience or that have idea of what I am talking about can contribute. Oga @fairheart and Co please what is your take on this. Screenshot photo below to see what I'm saying.

Since your sponsor amount is way more than the COA you should be fine. Ensure your SOA reads this total amount in your interview.

I already told them to change that amount on the i-20 , they already did. So each school has their own way of doing their things, but I just tried to explain to them and they corrected it within minutes and sent a new i-20 showing the same amount as the one on the COA.

Conditional admission means you didn't meet up with unconditional admission requirements. And I can tell that your low cgpa is the main factor.

The pure truth, your chances of funding and GA is extremely slim, you even have a condition placed on you to pass all your first semester courses or else you will be dropped from the school. Your best bet is to get a sponsor and back it up with on-campus job. If you are the essay writing type, you can check fastweb scholarships for essay based external funding, it's small and very competitive as well.

Warm regards

God doesn’t give sponsorship nor scholarships. If you apply to schools that doesn’t have scholarships, you won’t get one. So do your research well since your prospective degree is uncommon amongst Nigerians coming to the US

Short answer - No. It is illegal by the terms of your visa.

You can apply to a Masters /PHD program in this school, then look for profs. In your field in this school and send a Cold Mail to them, if selected you might be lucky to get funding

I am not here to make unnecessary arguments. If the OP takes your advice, he can go ahead to pay the tuition deposit.

I have a question.

Would it be indicated in my i-20 that I was exempted from writing English Proficiency Exam?
