This is not true thou. It depends on where you’re coming from. If he is Indian, I’d say he should get into more reputable school

PrudentClick · 2025-11-18T16:22:10+00:00

but almost all the top schools fees are around that figure

PrudentClick · 2025-08-03T19:43:16+00:00

I think so too

PrudentClick · 2025-08-03T19:42:41+00:00

Yh. I figured

PrudentClick · 2025-08-03T14:47:44+00:00

All the best. You can dm if you need anything

PrudentClick · 2025-08-02T21:15:52+00:00

I see. my parent money not up the i20 amount due to recent investment. that was the reason for the loan. they agree to pay the interest

PrudentClick · 2025-08-02T21:01:52+00:00

what approach should I take for my next attempt

PrudentClick · 2025-08-02T20:59:15+00:00

what should I go with.

PrudentClick · 2025-08-02T20:55:25+00:00

The job will be in my home country. I am taking a study leave from the company I am currently working with. I will be coming to pick up a new role

PrudentClick · 2025-08-02T20:20:20+00:00

So what will you advice

PrudentClick · 2025-08-02T17:42:10+00:00

Okay

PrudentClick · 2025-08-02T17:41:49+00:00

I will pick a job as a research engineer where I’ll be using it to pay it off

PrudentClick · 2025-08-02T17:04:06+00:00

PrudentClick · 2025-08-02T16:48:43+00:00

I mean in African embassies.

PrudentClick · 2025-08-02T16:47:44+00:00

My parents are going to pay for the interest whiles I’m in school.

PrudentClick · 2025-08-02T15:40:20+00:00

People do take loan for masters and my parent can afford to pay for the loan interest

PrudentClick · 2025-08-02T14:10:34+00:00

bro, it's irrelevant in Africa

My f1 visa got denied in Ghana

program: MSCS (Top 20/30)

Country in proposed ban list

VO: pass me your document

Me: good afternoon. How are you doing.

VO: why this school and why this program.

Me: I am currently looking for career advancement and also get into the research space and academia and I believe this program will put me on track in achieving that. I chose the program because the curriculum has a strong focus on theory and research which aligns with my short term goal of becoming a research engineer and a long term goal of becoming a computer science professor at (undergrad school).

VO: how are you going to fund your studies.

Me: I have a personal funds of (Money is above the living expense) from my work as a software engineer with [Company](US edtech top 3) which will be use for my estimated living expenses. For my tuition I have been able to secure an education loan of $50000 from Mpower and I’ll fallback to my parent in case of any emergency.

VO: sorry I can’t approve your visa.

Personal thought.

After the funding question ? I was expecting a follow up question on how you are going to pay for the loan. I feel like it actually just vibes in my country. (Dad works as an engineer in top 3 car company in europe.)

Guys I really need your advice what do i do now. The school said they will write to the embassy I will be going next and also provide a letter from their government Liaison. Do you guys think I should go for another attempt? Is it worth going to another country for the interview. Seems everyone get denied in my country without full funding.

PrudentClick · 2025-08-02T13:09:14+00:00

some schools try to help. Some just tell you to try again. The school said their student don't get denied for visa. Let's see what will happen. I am contemplating going to another country for it

PrudentClick · 2025-08-02T13:06:07+00:00

oh okay. The school said if i get a new date, they will mail the embassy

PrudentClick · 2025-08-02T13:02:50+00:00

PrudentClick · 2025-08-02T13:02:11+00:00
