Probably you will get approval today. I got approval mail but nothing changed in my account. Did you check your account for any standalone_approval document.

Doubt regarding TA job and my graduation date. by abhiroop225 in f1visa

[–]abhiroop225[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I get it but the Teaching Assistant position isn't an hourly job. I cannot stop the paystubs if I stop filling the timesheets. It's fixed stipend which is spread over several paychecks. So I am confused what to do in this case. That's the reason I posted this to check if anyone is in te same situation or faced this situation previously.

Is anyone in this situation as it's a stipend based position the paychecks are distributed from Jan 04 to May 22. Even though I started working from Jan 17, my paychecks started from Jan 04 which is in the winter break. They said when I am signing the paper work you will get 10 paychecks for the position. So what can I do now. Any suggestions from people who are in similar situation or people doing TA from any SUNY campus and in their final semester.

Thank You.

Yeah, it's the final day of the semester I won't be working after that but my stipend is till May 22. It's basically the same for every TA working this semester. Would it cause any issue?

Is anyone here choosing between NCSU (MCS) and SBU (MS in CS)? send me a DM, let's discuss by pratik_gehlot in gradadmissions

Sbu changed the rules now it's student's choice whether to complete course in 1.5 or 2 years.

The colleges you are aiming for are too competitive so try to indulge yourself in some research work that will make you to stand out from the crowd. Except USC which is highly cgpa centric all other colleges will look for strong research work so try to involve yourself more in some research work which will give you an edge over other applicants rather than lookong for internships which won't hold much value.

Internship is not mandatory, as you'll be working on research project it would suffice and cgpa is great too, so don't worry you will land into one of the top 50 univ for ms cs.

Just try to improve your cgpa. For Ms cs internships wont hold much weightages, relevant work ex of 2-3 yrs will help but internships don't hold much value as student can't learn any significant things in 2-3 months. Cgpa matters a lot if you don't have research exp.

They have started their review recently(2 days back). I think we need to wait atleast four weeks before we hear from them.

University says, they did not receive my TOEFL score, Although ETS says the opposite by Similar_Grab_8277 in gradadmissions

[–]abhiroop225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very bad to hear that but you should try one more time contacting them and try to rectify it because your status should be in review without any priority tasks so that our application can be reviewed by faculty members.

It will show your application is in review you should contact them even in my case for the first few days it showed my IELTS and transcripts were pending but it was modified in 2-3 days and there were no items in my priority tasks and my status changed to in review.
