University of Bridgeport is an independent, non-sectarian
university located on Long Island Sound in the South
Bridgeport section of Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA. The
school is the tenth-most racially diverse university in the
country.
The university had financial troubles in the 1990s and was
the subject of controversy when the trustees were obligated
to enter into serious negotiations with and subsequently
gave control of the institution to the Professors World
Peace Academy (PWPA), an affiliate of Sun Myung Moon's
Unification Church in order to save it from closure. Since
then, in an effort to boost enrollment numbers, the
University of Bridgeport has attempted to recruit more
international students and Established in 1927.
The University grew rapidly in the 1960s by capitalizing on
the increased number of people seeking to attend a U.S.
college resulting from the baby boom, Vietnam War veterans
eligible for a higher education under the G.I. Bill, and
international students who wanted to attend college in the
United States. Enrollment peaked at 9100 students in 1969.
Enrollment declined in the 1970s and 1980s after the waves
of baby boom and Vietnam era veterans eligible for the G.I.
Bill declined. By 1990, the University had cut tuition, room
and board fees to $18,000 per year, but the school's
reputation had not improved. More than a third of the 50
campus buildings were empty. To cut costs, the university
decided to terminate 50 tenured faculties, and asked the
other faculty to accept a 30% wage cut. In addition, the
University decided to eliminate its liberal arts college,
alienating many students. This led to the longest faculty
strike in the history of American higher education. Dr.
Greenwood, the president at the time, quit abruptly, and
around 1,000 students left the school, contributing to the
cash crisis.

VO: Hi. VO: Why do you want to go to IIT? Me: This institute provides one of the best courses in Mechanical Engineering. It has very good study atmosphere especially the faculty that is highly qualified. Most importantly It has very good student to faculty ratio ie. 10:1 that is highly favorable for student’s studies. VO: Which other universities have you applied to? Me: I have applied to Purdue, USC….( I was telling about other 2 universities also, but he interrupted) VO: Why not Purdue? Me: Coz I’ve got a rejection from there. VO: And what about USC? Me: I’ve got rejected there too.

(I was thinking I got my VISA but he returned all my forms back along with some US embassy brochure and replied…) VO: Thank you..you don’t qualify for the US VISA this time. ( I maintained my composure and asked..) Me: Can you tell me the reason please? VO: Read the brochure. ( I was feeling devastated but I smiled back and said..) Me: Thank you. 2nd appointment 2 August Me: Hello sir, How r u.. VO: Fine, Where r u going? Me: Illinois Institute of Technology VO: Why IIT? Me: The courses required for MS in mechanical Engineering at IIT are very much related to what have i done in my undergrads, there are subjects like thermodynamics, engineering mechanics, fluid mechanics, mechanics of materials that i've already studied, so definitely it will be a plus point and also its faculty is very good and student to faculty ratio is 10:1 that is highly favorable. VO: R u working somewhere? Me: Yes, I'm working in Vimtech infrastructure pvt ltd as a technical supervisor. VO: What is your percentage?

Me: No, Sir VO: You have a lot of C grades.(He returned my documents back and said) VO: You need to prove that u r a credible student. GRE: 1330( Q770;V560) TOEFL 96 University: Illinois Institute Of Technology There's one more thing that i need to tell u that i have got around 16 backlogs in my undergrads, but i've cleared them all and they are not reflected in my marksheets but the year mentioned in my marksheets is of when i clear all papers of a particular semester.
