Are you supposed not to wear same clothes two days in a row? How strict is this?

What about midwest? Who has the best coverage in the Illinois?

That's not true. I had 3.5 as well and I have been accepted to several top15 programs (including one in top5, with funding)

Why do you think anyone on this forum should know that? Go to the interview. If you fail then the decision has been made for you. If you pass explain your situation and ask for an extension.

Univ e-mail account is up and running, so I finally did it What do you enter in the Class Year?

gre is not important unless it is too low for quant anything less than 750 is too low, but getting 800 there is extremely easy for a cs/math major

It's good that someone has started this topic I have dark and fast-growing facial hair. If I shave at the morning, it will already be noticeable at the end of the day and will be several millimeters long the day after tomorrow. Now I usually shave every 2nd-3rd day. Should I start doing it more often (like every day)? I'm afraid that it may not be very healthy for skin. Do people in US pay a lot of attention to this kind of thing?

Same in Ukraine. The interview took about 1 minute. No questions about ties to home country at all.

I think you should write to the new university and they will probably need some information from your old i-20. Also, if you didn't tell the old university that you have changed your mind before april 15th, then you will need written release from them

Heh, I knew there will be a catch Probably, I should watch 'Lie to Me' less :roll: Oh, wait! I'll watch more, remember everything and use my newly acquired 'mad skillz' :twisted: But! New thought: what if embassy officers are monitoring this forum? They will learn about my evil plan and will be ready :cry: No more telling all my ideas in public

as if the answer would mean anything except for the fact that the person has spent some time reading advices on the internet

That's exactly what I was thinking

Hmm, it is better than I thought Thank you (2 other cars are situated on campus and are available for students only, that's why probably you didn't see them)

I wonder what is the situation with cars availability in Champaign-Urbana, with only 6 cars in the town. Is it possible for someone with subscription from another city to see online how many cars are reserved? If yes, could you please do it for, say, this and next week (and, especially, weekends) and write about your findings here?

How often will I regret that I don't have a car? What are taxi rates? Have anyone used zipcar?

should't you be working full-time to qualify for this?

Thank you for your input Forgot to say that I don't need international calls, I have skype How does plan changing work in US? If I have a sim card from some operator and don't have 2yr contract, can I change to another his plan anytime I want (not in the middle of the billing period of course)? Are there any repercussions for changing to a cheaper plan or removing additional features, like unlimited messages? Is it possible to change between pay-as-you-go and monthly paid plans? Btw, slightly related question. With unlimited US&Canada calls with skype for $3/month and a phone number for skypeless people to call you at for another $3/month why do people even bother with landlines at home?

so what?

Hi! I am thinking about phone plans for international students. First of all, what surprises should I expect? For example, in my country all incoming calls/messages are free, whereas in US they are not. Are there any connection fees for each call? Now, what operator and plan should I choose? I have no credit history, so I suppose contracts are out of question (I might ask some remote relative to co-sign if it is absolutely necessary, but I already have a phone (not locked), so if the rates difference is not extremely large I would rather not) What I need is a little of everything: calls (~100-200 minutes, 300 tops), messages (~50-150) and internet (~20-50 MB). Free calls to several favorite numbers or the same operator phones would be good. Most plans that look good with respect to calls/messages have ridiculous rates for the internet: either 1-2$/MB or offer it in big packages of 100MB/month. Any advices?

oops, my bad probably smth similar applies to your new university

Express Email login page says "Attention: New students for fall 2009 will be able to log in starting May 21, 2009."

is MIT EECS good enough for you? they don't require GRE general

well, it's actually quite a good comedy if you watch it with friends and laugh on all stupid thinks that characters do or say

I was thinking summer and maybe winter, so 1-2 times per year
