GRE Exam and admission for a cancer patient [#permalink] Post   06 Jul 2021, 06:56
Hey,

Suppose I able to score decent marks in GRE. I had cancer, but i have to go for regular follow ups.
1. Does Dream of studying in USA makes sense ?
2. What are the cons ?

I am super confused.

Thanks

Hi, really sorry to hear that.

However,

1. Does Dream of studying in USA makes sense ?

Of course, every day to chase our purpose makes sense . Every day under any circumstances. You must be as hard as iron.

2. What are the cons ?

In my opinion, the cons are "not give a try" and subsequent regrets.

Here you will have all our support

Stay strong and keep going

Regards

Hi ramyakavya

Wishing you a speedy recovery :)

I totally agree with Carcass. I would say you should never stop dreaming. It all starts from dreaming. So gear up your shoes and work on that dream if this is what you want.!

Do let me know if you need any help!

Kind Regards

One more thing I would like to ask, does USA accept students who have/had cancer ?

Hey ramyakavya

I don't think they have or any country has requirement for fittest applicants only. So don't worry about that because as long as your score and profile is good and you get into the best college, visa issues won't be a problem.

Wishing you the best for speedy recovery!

Please ask if anything is unclear.

Regards,
R

I'm sorry to hear about what you have gone through.

If you get a great GRE score, I don't see any reason why you would not be able to attend school in the US. Let us know how things end up with your GRE.

Good luck!
