I cannot go to Columbia. I cannot even go back to the U.S to organize my stuff. feeling like I am tossed in the air and experiencing free fall. Trying to think positively..oh well...I am too smart to go to Columbia grad school. again and again but cannot explain how disappointed I am. The U.S consulate rejected my Visa application twice, telling me I am overqualified to go to another master degree. They told me financial engineering degree is relevant to finance degree, which I already had. Considering my degrees in Econ, Finance, Math, and IT. I am already a highly skilled worker, proven with H1B, who does not need another master degree to study Quant and FE at Columbia. They told me they cannot give me a student Visa and believe the plan to study at Columbia is just for staying in the U.S. Washing dishes at the local restaurant with a degree from Columbia after quitting a nice job at Cummins as a Treasury Analyst....I guess it is the scenario they think. Do not wanna blame the U.S consulate. I think it is completely my fault and I failed to explain what Quant and FE is. And I try to believe their thoughts are reasonable. It might be time to stop studying, which I have been addicted to. I studied too much. My lawyer told me do not try again and just rest for a year. You have been a hard worker and already did enough. Sometimes rest is needed. There are numerous people, who helped my admission and Visa application. My three managers at Cummins, wrote a letter for my Visa interview. (I gave the letters but the consulate told me she will not read it.) One of them actually came to the office to send me his letter thought he was on vacation, driving 1.5 hrs. There is a friend at Cummins, who helped me like my Visa interview is his matter thought it is nothing to do with his interest, which I appreciate. There are a few friends, who told me leave Cummins and pursue another degree. You can make it. when even my parents told me just work for Cummins. I cannot make it. There are two friends, who edited lengthy essays for my school admission. I know it takes tons of time and they just did it for me. I wish I can pay back your help and encouragement. I learned I do not need the entire world on my side. A few people can weight more than the world. And with those encouragement, I can reverse the currency. Just want to tell you I sincerely appreciate your being and help. Just feel sorry for disappointing your great help. Just wanna say THANK YOU! MANY MANY THANKS! I will try one more time but I think it would be very difficult to get an approval for my student Visa. I know this is the end. 이제 한동안 바둑이나 하면서 놀려고 하고 있어욤. 고마웠어요. 도와주신 분들. 정말 감사드려욤~ 라뷰 얼~~ 켈켈켈~~~
