  • SUNY-Buffalo
  • Drexel
  • CSU, Fullerton
  • CSU Long Beach
  • USC
University of Texas at San Antonia
I got admits from CSU, Fullerton, UTSA and NYIT.
I gave my Visa interview twice in Mumbai and once in Chennai where i was rejected.
I think they have an issue with my uni selection.
I want to apply for Spring 2013 so can u plz suggest me uni for my profile.
My dream university is USC. Is it possible to get into it with this profile?

F1 Visa

First you have to understand how Visa interview process works.

You shouldn’t asking if you can get visa or admission for your profile after attending visa interview 3 times.

Visa is given, just not because of your profile. Read the F1 Visa interview experience shared by other readers.

Understand the process. Prepare for interview based on others visa interview experience.

If you don’t know why your visa was rejected, there is no point in attending F1 visa interview multiple times.

Looks like you are still not sure why F1 was rejected 3 times.

  1. Although most universities say they don’t have cut offs for GRE,GPA etc the truth is people with higher GPA,GRE have good chances.USC takes in a lot of international students but it is definitely very difficult with your profile.Please try to improve your GRE,TOEFL score.TOEFL should be 105+ and GRE should be 315+. Also try to do internship in organizations like C-DAC etc.

    • wrong answer, USC admit is easier but graduation is difficult. just send application package with financial support document, you will get admit. also it will be impossible to get funding for masters program at USC. also prepare to spend up to $35000 from own pocket or loan for tuition and living expense(very high in LA).

  2. Hi,
    U ve an option by contacting the landline of vfs where u got rejected and ask why ur visa has been rejected. The point is they will not exactly say why urs is rejected but ll say some indirect point. So as HSB said its wise to know why ur visa has been refused before attending next time

  3. Getting into USC is very difficult with your profile. I mean everyone says that universities in the US don’t look only at your academics. But so many people applied for Fall 2012 (and that number will keep increasing) that I guess eventually they admitted students based on aggregate only. Because, from what I saw on Facebook, all the people who had USC admits had really good academic profiles, like 65-70% aggregate at least. You have backlogs so it’s all the more difficult. Of course you never know, so no harm in applying, but don’t peg all your hopes on it, and apply to a bunch of “safe” schools as well.

  4. may be u havn’t given any convincing reply to the VO wen he hav asked Y THIS UNIV?
