by 737min - I have used the services of this great hacker Bruce (prohackerspy.me@gmail.com) who has helped a lot of students to conquer their fears as a result of poor grades, a lot of students have issues but don’t know who or whom to turn to. Before now i was in this same situation but when i hired bruce i was able to navigate the crazy grading of my college academic score. ask about imap for british students and Imat for italian students i can only encourage you to make use of their service to help you with your school grades or any other hacking services.by Philip_
- So, this is not about OPT, but CPT. Many from various schools have abused CPT; so, they want to put to close that loophole. Some real ones get affected by this because of others' actions.by raincom
- When I did my CPT more than a decade ago in an age before the current admissions policies, I had to ensure that the place I was going to work at was a good fit for what I was studying, and there needed to be a written explanation of why it would directly benefit my studies. And it was no joke, I couldn't do an internship for a role not directly in my field of study.
Either Berkeley isn't doing things right, or this is a shakedown. International students are the biggest money-spinners for universities (to the detriment of everything else at this point, from what I hear), and ICE is going for the jugular.

I'm pretty sure that the kids getting admitted to Berkeley actually are the best and the brightest. we should absolutely be welcoming them.
what are we even doing here?
by schaefer - Is this headline misleading? From reading the article, Berkeley is pausing authorizations for Course Credit CPT, which enables international students on visas to work in exchange for credits to complete their degree programs. It doesn’t outright ban work experience if it is an “integral part of an established curriculum”.
The headline reads like Berkeley is suspending authorization of international student workers in general, but this actually seems like a relatively narrow restriction?
