Anyway good luck to everybody!! Hope it's today!!

Yes she has applied with bachelors. She has 5 years B.Arch. degree. But she gets 10 more points than me for age so it evens out. I have always been self employed so much more paperwork for me prove my work experience. So we decided to apply with her as primary applicant.

Where are you from Wacky?

hey i am also self employed and i think being self employed there are less paperwork then other salaried person, you just have to put your IT returns and something to show that you are self employed, btw what are you?

Does GRE no longer use 800 point score system?

And good work on your score. What kind of scores do the schools you are interested in want?

It changed to 340 back in 2011.

I am actually still divided on what I want to study. The scores I got today is more than sufficient for graduate/ phd courses at even the top tier schools like Harvard, Stanford. But I am toying with the idea of MBA now, and to get into Harvard MBA you need a combined score of about 330 - 332.

I might just end up at the University of Toronto or British Columbia or Mc Gill University if my PR goes through. And yeah these scores are sufficient for that.

For the MBA, the schools are often more lenient on scores for foreign students. Work experience at top tier company and recommendations from high-level or school-connected people count more. Been there, done that at one of them. PM me if you'd like.

Just out of curiosity, you don't want to do it on a student visa? I think I have to do it that way in order to raise my CRS enough. Starting student visa paperwork now.

Sitting at 523 CRS, I'm extremely disappointed that would be no chance to getting an ITA any time soon! Any uplifting replies are really appreciated!

We have been through a lot in these ROH threads. Does anyone of you still remember that draw when we saw the rounds page with 1,XXX ITAs and XXX points?

Feels like I've been here for XX years

It indeed feels like ages since we've been chasing the Canadian dream

Good luck to us all. Hope all of get to Canada as soon as possible!

It's 9:12, CIC has started drafting the papers for next draw, and minimum CRS level would be 431!

That's an option too. But doing it with a PR status entitles you to much lower tuition fees. Especially in University of Toronto, there is a stark difference. Of course the tuition in Canada is anyway much lower than the states. So still might be beneficial for you to study in Canada.

 

[GavinSouthAfrica]

Hoping for 432 today.. here's hoping

 

[Wandering Mind]

Just you wait to see all the mature and tasteful jokes in the "69th" draw party. I can already imagine it.

Ha ha ha. Can't wait

 

[jbourne]

I am not sure bro what to do, hence roaming in this forum especially in this thread.

You are starting paperwork, so you have already gotten accepted somewhere?

P.S. Newbies, please ignore this.
