Frequently Asked Questions!
Welcome to our FAQ section, where we answer common questions to enhance your knowledge.
I have a low CGPA. Can I still get admission to a U.S university?
Yes, it’s possible! Admissions committees don’t just focus on your grades—they evaluate your application as a complete package. They consider your CV, SOP, recommendation letters, GRE/GMAT and TOEFL/IELTS scores, and extracurricular activities. If these elements showcase your strengths, you still have a strong chance.
Also, just to boost your confidence, we have a team member who had a CGPA below 3.0 and not only secured admission but also successfully completed a Ph.D. program!
Should I choose a Master's or Ph.D. program?
It depends on your goals! Master’s programs are typically 2 years, while Ph.D. programs are 4–5 years. Comparatively, it’s easier to secure full funding with assistantships in a Ph.D. program.
What does full funding with assistantship mean?
Full funding with an assistantship means the university waives your tuition fees and provides a stipend to cover your living expenses. In exchange, you work part-time as a teaching assistant (TA), research assistant (RA), or graduate assistant (GA). It’s an excellent way to finance your education while gaining valuable experience!
How much funding or scholarship can I get?
The amount of funding or scholarship varies depending on the university, program, and your profile. Many universities offer full funding, which includes tuition waivers and a stipend for living expenses, while others provide partial funding or merit-based scholarships.
If I get full funding with an assistantship, can I cover my living expenses and still send money to my family in Bangladesh?
Typically, the university provides an assistantship stipend designed to cover your own living expenses comfortably. However, if you manage your finances wisely and avoid unnecessary expenses, we’ve seen many students successfully support their families in Bangladesh while living on full funding.
How much I can send monthly?
It’s difficult to estimate exactly, as it depends on the university’s stipend amount, the city’s cost of living, and your lifestyle. From our experience, many single students can send between BDT 20,000 to 70,000 per month. If you’re living with your spouse, the amount may decrease to around BDT 10,000 to 30,000. However, it varies greatly based on individual circumstances and financial habits.
Can I work while studying in the U.S.?
If you are self-funded, you are allowed to work part-time on campus for up to 20 hours per week during the academic year and full-time during breaks, as permitted by your F-1 visa. However, if you are on full funding with an assistantship, you CANNOT take additional work outside your assigned duties. If the authorities discover unauthorized work, it could lead to serious consequences, including losing your visa status and being asked to leave the country.
What is an F-1 visa?
An F-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows international students to study full-time at accredited universities, colleges, or other academic institutions in the U.S. It is granted to students enrolled in programs that lead to a degree or certification.
Can I bring my spouse and children with F-1 visa?
Yes, you can bring your spouse and children with you on F-2 dependent visas. However, F-2 visa holders are NOT allowed to work in the U.S., and children can only attend school at the primary or secondary level.
Do I need to take the GRE or TOEFL?
It depends on the program and university you’re applying to. Most U.S. universities require TOEFL or IELTS to demonstrate English proficiency for international students. The GRE or GMAT is commonly required for graduate programs, but many universities have waived these requirements after COVID-19. You can check the specific requirements on the university’s website.
Which semester offers a better chance to get fully funded scholarship?
Generally, the fall semester offers better chances for fully funded scholarships. Most U.S. universities admit a larger number of students in the fall, making more scholarships, assistantships, and funding opportunities available. While funding is still possible for the spring semester, it is often more limited. Planning and applying early for the fall semester can maximize your chances of securing full funding.
How difficult is it to get a job in the U.S. after graduation?
We’ve seen many people secure jobs even before graduation, often during their internship period. The U.S. offers vast opportunities across all fields, making it a dream destination for professionals. With the right planning, networking, and internships, landing a job can be much easier than you might think.
