Hi everyone!
I’m taking the **IELTS Academic** in about a week, and I need to get at least an **overall Band 6** for my university application.

I only have one week to prepare, so I’d really appreciate advice from people who were in the same situation.

What should I focus on during this last week?
Which section is the easiest to improve the fastest?
What resources (YouTube channels, websites, books, or mock tests) helped you the most?
How many hours per day did you study?
What mistakes should I avoid on test day?
If you scored Band 6 or higher with only a short preparation time, what was your study plan?

For context: I’m taking the IELTS as I would be continuing my studies abroad.

Hi everyone!

I’m an international student from the Philippines who’s currently **finalizing my application for Fall 2026** at Ole Miss.

Assuming everything goes well, I’m hoping to join this fall, but I may arrive **later than expected** because of the student visa processing timeline.
I wanted to ask:

•Are there any other international students starting in Fall 2026?
• Has anyone experienced arriving after the semester officially starts because of visa delays? If so, how did the university handle it?
•Is Ole Miss generally understanding if an international student arrives a little late due to visa processing?
•When do most international students typically arrive for orientation and check-in?

Any advice on housing, airport transportation, or anything you wish you had known before coming?
I’d also love to connect with other incoming international students. Thanks in advance!

First, I would like to ask if it is possible to withdraw or unsubmit the documents that I recently uploaded to my application. I realized that I may have accidentally submitted the wrong file, and I would like to know if there is a way to replace it with the correct document.

I would also like to inquire about the scholarships available for international students. Are there any scholarships that I may still apply for, and what are the eligibility requirements? If possible, could professors or academic departments endorse international applicants for scholarship opportunities?

In addition, I would like to ask about housing options for international students. Are on-campus accommodations available, and when should I begin the housing application process?

I would also appreciate it if anyone could know when the Fall 2026 term officially begins. In the event of unforeseen delays with my application, visa processing, or travel arrangements, would it still be possible to enroll or arrive slightly after the semester has started?

Hello planning to transfer po sana to BS Chemistry! Is UST still accepting po ba for transferees? Red school po na yung program ay BS Chem din.

hello! bukas na raw po ba lalabas yung results for shifting and transferring under CS?

just found out that representatives sa course na i want to shift into sent out already yung block assignments and it included name of shiftees/transferees 

Does that usually mean finalized na yung list of students including transferees/shiftees? wala pa naman po kasi kaming email na nakukuha in regards to the shifting result. kaya overthink malala huhuhu possible pa ring ba madagdagan ng transferees/shiftees even if the block assignments are already released?

Curious lang if anyone has experienced this before. Thanks!

Hi! I have a question about the UP shifting process.

If an application doesn't pass the initial screening conducted by the college/college secretary (e.g., due to not meeting one of the published criteria), is it still forwarded to the institute/department for transparency or a final review, or is it stopped there?

I recently heard that some colleges still forward applications that fail the initial screening to the institute for transparency and re-checking if necessary. Is this a common practice across UP, or does it depend on the college?

If anyone has experienced this or has worked on admissions/shifting, I'd really appreciate your insights. Thanks!

Hi! Just wanted to ask if non-ADMU students are allowed to enter the Ateneo de Manila campus solely to visit the merchandise store. Do visitors need a gate pass or any specific requirements, or can anyone enter and purchase items from the store?
