  1. Yes, that's the problem I am facing! thus, I have to live somewhere in a safe neighborhood that's why I was asking cause safe neighborhood like east harbor are pretty much expensive!
  2. Hola, fulbrighters from around the world. I have a question. Do anyone of you know whether the fulbright pays enough stipends to cover renting a house, food, clothes, and transportation??? The city I am most probably heading to is Baltimore, Maryland and its quite expensive Any help??? I do not wanna go there and work as a cadger rather than a student ?
  3. Is it enough to pay rent, buy food, transportation, and clothing? Need any help!!
  4. Best of luck to you and hopefully this stressful time would lead to a good results eventually! FYI: I am waiting for a rejection from my top choice Columbia also We are on the same boat
  5. Hello there, we are in the same position but the difference is that I am located in Egypt. I am in the same "Wonderful" position (Sarcastic tone) I asked the Fulbright for feedback regarding the universities and they told me we do not provide any kind of regular feedback. What's more interesting is that I asked a previous fulbrighter, he told me that they do not provide you with information regarding your acceptance or rejections. Just when they place you in a school, then you would know that you have been accepted in it! other than that No you don't get the chance to know anything P.S I am freaking out as well and I want to call the school so bad
  6. Helloooo,, Did anyone over here apply to Columbia's Ms in Marketing???? if so did anyone hear from the school yet. or when should we expect to hear from it!!! The waiting is too much!!! Anyone over here HELLOOOO, ANY OLD FELLOWS IN THE PROGRAM!!
  7. Actually it would not have been a problem if I am not interested in a program unfortunately placed in the Ivy league. Don't get me wrong I am from Egypt, and I did not know what columbia was I came across this program and then found out that it was at Columbia, which was an Ivy league So, it is not about the looks and prestige!

  9. Guys hello, I have a question is this scholarship when deciding the placement is based solely on the cost? Cause they actually kind of de-motivated us by telling us that Ivy league schools are really expensive and they gave us the feeling that they do not want anyone to be placed at them! I mean schools like Columbia,...etc!
  10. Hello everyone! I need help... concerning the fulbright placement! if there is any previous Fulbrighters I would be grateful to answer the following question. Is the main placement for fulbright is all about the money and how should they place us in a low cost university??? will I have a chance as a fulbrighter at Ivy league schools like Columbia? did it have previous fulbrighters before? cause I have this feeling that it is all about the money somehow? thank you!
  11. I have been dreaming about getting in my whole entire life. And, the person who would provide any kind of tips for me would be a life saver helping a dreamer achieve her dreams.
  12. Hello guys, So I was wondering if someone here applied to stanford phd in marketing? I want to know more about how to get in. and if it is not stanford, if someone have knowledge about what it takes to get into ivy league schools? Thank you so much!
  13. Hello guys. I am planning to take GRE test soon. I need to know the BEST books for GRE to get a very high score I mean I want the WHOLE LIST Another question, How could I improve my TOEFL reading scores? If i got 26 in listening, 27 in both speaking and writing and 22 in READING???? I would really appreciate any help! Thank u guys
  14. The problem is that I can go there with a fund of 1 semester but since I am from a developing country, the American Embassy requires that I need to have the entire amount of money to pay for school which is like 50,000 Dollars Thank you so much
  15. You know that is the most helpful tip of advice I have ever received Thanks a lot Really appreciate it.
  16. Honestly, I am still preparing myself for admission in the fall of 2015. As an international student not being able to travel to see the campuses of the schools, I can't get access to any information. The schools are really really expensive! I got response from Columbia business school to which i considered applying ! they told me yes we do have TA and RA, but each professor has his own criteria, then when I tried to approach the professors there have been no absolutely response. The problem is that the American embassy requires me to identify my funding source before I could get the visa. I don't know whether the professors r rude and unhelpful or I am making mistake in my email format. Thanks
  17. Well, I honestly tried to email couple of professors But there have been no response at all. Also the financial aid office is providing no absolute help. As an international student wanting to pursue Master's, I wanna ask ppl who have experience how do I approach professors to get RA or TA as a kind of financial assistance? I honestly felt that the universities do not like saying the kind of assistance they provide to make ppl pay ! I would be forever in debt with any kind of assistance and guidance Thanks
  18. Thank you so much for this advice, but i have a question, how to approach exactly the professors and make them want you? there are hundreds of applicants who have the same GRE, TOEFL, GPA as yourself? Please i would really appreciate it especially i am thinking about applying to PhD program.
  19. Okay , i need the whole entire truth from anyone that has any background about this topic. Can international students get accepted without a Masters at Stanford Phd program? Thanks
  20. I don't mind working part time but they aren't making it easy either i don't mind having loan and working part time Do they mention on their website that they have hardship grant? do i ask them after my acceptance or before? Thank you so much
  21. Also one thing they provide like more than 10 grants to MBAs while MSc none which is something that is not reasonable..
  22. I have tried to talk to a professor who is in charge with Msc. Telling him i really really want to get in and i hope to meet you soon and these stuff with alot of respect but he wasn't very much helpful he is telling me try fullbright and then he said we don't provide any scholarships because it is 12 people program! Duhh and then when i asked admission office about Work-study they told me Msc is not allowed to get the work study program it is like saying okay if u will not get a full scholarship u can't get in...... They are not helping at all i wonder what kind of person would afford loan without working at New York city one of the most expensive cities in USA Thank u 4 responding 2 my post...
