I'm asking because I really don't know how bad it is,

 

If I apply for graduate school in the States this year, probably December,

will there be like, several/many disadvantages if i get accepted?(while studying)

 

Some people are saying they can't visit their hometowns because

they are afraid they can't go back to the states

i would be honest in saying that it depends where you are from and if Trump and his cabinet choose to have another ban. It has surprised a lot of us Americans what he is doing. I would say that the schools in the states are generally liberal, but when it comes to travel. I cant really say.

ot this standard rejection letter on Tuesday. I was expecting it too so was prepared for the rejection. Europe is also going towards nationalism so I can see why I was rejected despite the good grades and good GRE. Also got into Columbia but will probably be going to Stellenbosch or Norway instead. Can't deal with Trump and his idiots. Good Luck to those still waiting but if you're American or Asian you probably got it already!

 

 

was expecting this. I Received the email a day ago. According to the Facebook Group the Institute rejected 95% of the Africans (Those who indicated that on FB and shared their true result) Maybe our grading system isn't up to their standards but only 3 of those actually went to African Universities most are from UK or USA. Lucky for me I got into a US program but I am scared of Trump and his America so probably won't go to Grad school at all.

Ohhh Columbia is a wonderful school! Please don't let Trump scare you away! Obama went to Columbia!

it is almost 8am Geneva time. I'm sitting at a wifi cafe in southern Cambodia. I think they'll send it at the end of the day to avoid the flood of emails afterwards. Good luck to you all!
