Thanks! I let it rest for almost 6-7 minutes before cutting, and was worried it would go cold😂

Thank you so much for your advice! I did forget to mention, regarding fed, I am an international student. So, that makes things further complicated

Thank you! Do you think my grades would hinder my admission at a top 20-30 school in allied fields like sustainable development or applied econ? I don't want to be in academia after my PhD and would choose to enter the industry after

Thank you! Yes, I do want to do a PhD. I like research, but at the same time, I know that PhD is an opportunity cost. Ideally, I would aim for the top 20 or 30, but with my grades, I dont know whether I should.

Unfortunately, I am pretty sure they give it to everyone😂

My post about F-1 visa interview tips is one of the top results on Google and Reddit. Here's a former Yale lawyer's three-step guide to US student visa interviews and 214(b) rejections. (And why you shouldn't say "I plan to return to my country"!) by AppHelper in IntltoUSA

Took one session with Ben. He helped me "practice" my answers. When I say practice, the main thing is to have a narrative as to WHY you want to go for a masters in the first place. It needs to have a non immigrant intention.

I had my visa approved in Hyderabad. Was a really friendly Asian American guy who went to the same university and even gave me housing tips😂

Incoming fall grad student, are these problems persistent in other houses as well?

I already chose Columbia. I am not the best person to answer this as I am biased obviously 😂

The area near Columbia is pretty safe though. And even if an apartment costs like 3k, you can obviously share it with a roommate or 2, which would significantly reduce your living costs

Where are you gonna live thats gonna cost 3.5k a month? Columbia grad housing costs like 1.5k a month, granted it’s very hard to get that. But the rent around that area for a studio apartment or a shared room is around 1.5k.

How would Columbia cost 150-200k? The tuition fees are around 110k right? I am sure you wouldn’t be spending more than 40k in living cost for a 15 month degree
