The COVID-19 effect on admissions & funding
Anik_91 replied to Paulcg87's topic in Political Science Forum
The problem is that international students are only allowed to take up to 3-4 credits of online classes (the rest has to be in-person) to be in accordance with visa requirements. Hence, if the instruction is online they would think you don't even need to enter the US. I know this requirement was waived for Spring semester as everything happened quickly and in the middle of the semester, but I haven't heard of similar news regarding Fall semester. -

The COVID-19 effect on admissions & funding
Anik_91 replied to Paulcg87's topic in Political Science Forum
Aren't student visas considered non-immigrant? I am pretty sure it won't affect student visas given that international students are a big source of revenue for US higher education institutions. Trump has been eager to close the borders for immigrants for a while and the pandemic has given him a chance, but it's likely to be challenged. -
F1 VISA funding documents for PhD students
Anik_91 replied to Paramita's topic in IHOG: International House of Grads
Just to add to this response. Schools are legally required to update your SEVIS profile on a regular basis and if/when any changes to your student status occur. That's why I am pretty sure you don't have to show funding beyond the first year. I imagine schools update funding info on your SEVIS profile on a year-by-year basis even if you are guaranteed funding for 5 years, mainly because funding amount might change a year later based on your assistantship/fellowship. -
Hi, I am an international currently in the US under J-1 visa which practically expired (but my status is valid based on DS-2019 form) and I will need to obtain an F-1 visa for my PhD program that starts in August. US Embassy and consulates in my home country are closed until further notice. As of now, my options are as follows: 1. Wait until mid-May (beginning of June at the latest) to see if the situation improves and Embassies/consulates start operating again. If that happens, then I would fly back to get my new visa. 2. If there are no improvements by June, I would con

Still waiting for a decision from Cornell. It's radio silence - they don't even reply to emails. -

Thanks for a reply! Is that in-person on campus interview for everyone? I did email the coordinator and the reply was that very few acceptances were sent out and we gotta wait patiently for a decision. -

Any updates on the UNC BME program? Someone has just posted an 'interview invite' on the results page. I wonder if that person is present on this forum and would provide more info (e.g. POI). -

Bioengineering/Biomedical Engineering Applications for 2020 Admission
Anik_91 replied to LHMQ's topic in Engineering
It's just that tuition fee is up to 3 times more for international students compared to in-state/American students, hence it's harder to find funding that would support an international student. If you didn't get any scholarship/fellowship, then Principal Investigator has to agree to take you on and pay your tuition, stipend etc. -

Someone posted in the results that Northwestern BME program is inviting 10% of 350 strong applications to the interview. I wonder if all invitations have been sent out or more should be expected? Any info on this, guys? -

Appears that all who got acceptance notifications from BU today are the ones with the distinguished fellowship. Perhaps, RA/TA funded applicants will be notified later? -

Was told UW BioE Admissions committee will be reviewing applications tomorrow (Wednesday). Don't know how helpful that might be, but at least something.
