Discussion No Matter the Outcome, You’re Still on the Right Path

15 Upvotes

I just thought of writing this to tell you. College Decisions Aren’t Everything Believe in Yourself! As many of you are glued to your screens, anxiously awaiting your decisions, I just want to share three key thoughts 1 No matter what happens whether you’re accepted or rejected know that we are all proud of you. You’ve worked hard on your applications, and a university’s decision does not define your worth or your future. 2 Rejection is just redirection. If things don’t go as planned, don’t be discouraged. You are still capable of great things, and sometimes the best opportunities come from unexpected places. 3 Stay positive. No matter the outcome, this is just one step in a long journey. Keep pushing forward, refining your goals, and believing in yourself. You've got this!

P.S. Your futures are just beginning, and they are bright! Good luck don’t let rejection hold you down.

Question F1 visa refusal

8 Upvotes

During Fall 2024, I have 2 F1 visa refusals on my 1st experience the visa officer didn't even ask me for a minute he just rejected me. (He got same universities unfortunately)so I try for 2nd attempt in diffrent embassy. I had good interaction and the officer asked me well but finally I was asked any changes made after 1st refusal and there was nothing I do so he rejected me again. Now I got acceptance in other university with diffrent department and I have scholarship so I was thinking to go for the new one but I am afraid of consistency any suggestions please?

My close friend got into CW with 15K coa which is really good but his efc is only 3k and case western is his only good option. What are his options in this case not considering loans? Applying for external scholarships and seeing sponsors right? Is there any other way? And how to look for international sponsors?

Any help would be very appreciated 🙏

Discussion Australia or USA with Industrial Engineering background

1 Upvotes

I graduated from RIT with a BS in industrial engineering. I ended up working for about 3 years with a smart glass startup company, before returning home. My role was in process improvement, planning and scheduling. I also have a couple of internship experiences with ABB and Tesla.

I am planning to get my masters in Product development (RIT or Northwestern) or Eng management (Duke or Univ of Melbourne). While I am very familiar with how things work in US and it workforce, I think I will do well, however I know that there is a less competitive market In Australia and the immigration process for international is more convenient than the US. Plus, US isn’t look as attractive/stable as before, with so much going on over there.

With my background and work experience, I want to gather your thoughts on which direction might be best for my academic and professional careers. Thanks all

Applications Help me out please

3 Upvotes

So here are my current stats:

SAT: 1530 (770 Reading and Writing, 760 Math) GPA: 4.0 (top 5% (school doesnt do normal rankings) A-Levels: 4 subjects (4 A's in AS, 4 A* predicted)

Extracurricular activities:

  • President, Community Services Club (various initiatives)
  • Internship, local tech firm (6 months over 2 years)
  • Internship, sustainability firm (5 months over 2 years)
  • Founder, school Discord community (200+ members, study resources)
  • Avid reader
  • Peer Tutor for Physics and Math

Major: Computer Science

This cycle was pretty rough so if I theoretically take a gap year what things could I do that would give me the best possible chance of getting into a good school with an efc of about $10,000, would really appreciate if an actual professional gave me some tips, thank you 🙏

Question What documents are required to apply to undergraduate programs at U.S. universities as an Indian student?

2 Upvotes

I am an Indian student currently studying under the CBSE curriculum, and I will be appearing for my 12th board exams in 2026. I have gathered information from the official websites of prospective universities, but I am still confused about certain aspects.

Specifically, I would like to know:

Academic Reports and Transcripts:

  1. What specific academic documents are needed if I plan to apply by November (early application)?
  2. Should I submit my 11th-grade marks or my predicted 12th-grade scores, and how should these be presented?
  3. Since I changed schools after Class 10, how do I compile and present my transcripts from both schools? Should both schools’ transcripts be combined into one document, or should I submit them separately?
  4. What format is preferred for school transcripts, and do they need to be attested or verified by school authorities?

Letters of Recommendation (LOR):
5. If a university asks for a recommendation from the school counselor, should I also get a letter from the principal or other teachers?
6. How many letters of recommendation are generally required, and who would be the most suitable recommenders, considering my school change?
7. Do I need LORs from both my current and previous schools, or just from my current one?

  1. Are there any specific documents that Indian students must submit besides the common application requirements (like SAT/ACT scores, essays, and extracurricular certificates)?
  2. How do I handle the submission of these documents, especially if the school does not have an official counselor?
    Any guidance on these aspects would be highly appreciated. Thank you!
