3 Easy Ways Identify Black Listed Universities in USA
Is it possible to identify blacklisted universities in USA?
Tri Valley University have created much needed awareness about scam that affects legitimate students. There’s no such thing as blacklisted universities list. But, I want to give an example to highlight the scenario that would create this “blacklisted universities”.
Image following two students applying to study in USA. Let’s compare the profiles.
Profile: Student 1
- GRE Score: 310
- TOEFL: 98
- Academics – 70% (No Backlogs)
Profile: Student 2
- GRE Score: 281
- TOEFL: 65
- Academics: 51% ( 16 backlogs)
We tend to prefer the term blacklisted universities to universities that accept Studnet 2. Universities like NPU, Herguan, Tri-Valley University, Silicon Valley University, ITU, etc.
I highly doubt if the Student 1 will even consider such schools.
What happens with student 2 is desperate to go to USA ( and settle down in America)?
They are going to find schools that are ready to give admission with their low academic profiles. Believe it or not, education is also run as a business. Universities need students who can pay higher fees. They want to make money from your fees.
During F1 Visa Interview:
Just by looking at the list of universities applied by a student, we can identify if the person is above or below average.
If we can identify the quality of universities by looking at the list, don’t you think US Consulate will know much more about those universities?
We know Air India denied 19 students from boarding flight to Study in SVU and NPU.
How to Identify Black Listed Universities
I can think of 3 ways to identify blacklisted universities. Term Blacklisted might not be the right term, but it seems to convey the message. So, let’s use blacklisted universities.
- Universities that have been caught for illegal activities
- Schools that accept low profile students ( provide degree mill)
- Universities not Accredited and admitting foreign students
Let’s discuss #2 in detail. Other 2 options are self explanatory.
Universities admitting low profile students
Look at the students F1 visa interview experience and read the 10 Traits of F1 Visa rejected students.
Someone with GRE Scores above 320 don’t post their experience about F1 visa rejection. There could be F1 Visa rejections too but I I think the number of rejections will be comparatively lower.
If your academic profile is below average and you have applied to schools that are below average, then you are in for trouble.
Your Visa interview answers, coupled with your choice of universities, would create doubts in the mind of visa interview officer.
If your answers to Visa interview questions is not highly focussed, then it’s tough to get visa for USA.
Now, if 10 students are going to same university with similar profiles, new pattern beigns to form and US consulate could keeping track of such universities. We call them blacklisted universities.
Do students get visa to such universities? Yes, they do. But, it may not stay the same way. Don’t blame the system if ICE raids and shuts down the university.
Your Thoughts
I like to hear your thoughts about my argument on Blacklisted Universities.
Do you agree that if even if there is no official list of blacklisted universities, US consulate could have a list of such universities (as we call them blacklisted universities)?

UCO is definitely legit .Just check US news.If US news shows a lot of info about them and ranks them even in one area then it is most probably legit.

They aren’t the best universities but are not like SVU or NPU imo.

36 students? Where did you get that news from?
There’s nothing called blacklisted university.
Black Listed = Poor Quality University.
Poor Quality = Admission without GRE or TOEFL. Admitting students with backlogs. Degree Mills.

Can you help me with the kind of universities a person can get with 56% in Mechanical Engineering , GRE score of 1400 and TOFEL score of 115/120 ?

ya the argument is very help full to a lot of people who had a lot of doubts about these so called black listed universities, but i still have a doubt some of the universites which usally consider GRE to give i20 surprisingly for some courses the same univ is not asking any GRE score, whats your point on this…
There’s several top universities that accept students without GRE, but they look at several factors. For instance, if your recommender have good credentials, have you accomplished anything that stands out from other applicants.
Students applying to schools like SVU or NPU or other similar low profile degree mill kind of schools are not from high achieving backgrounds. That doesn’t mean they will not be high achievers in future, but based on scores and achievements, they are below average students.
If you don’t have a lot to prove in the SOP, LOR, then you wouldn’t get admit in good universities.
Thank you very much guys @Garnesh and @Srikanth. I wanna apply to those schools because my cgpa is just on the average and I heard Texan Universities are way cheaper and I was thinking I could get some kind of aid from this schools. Most of the other schools are asking for a minimum cgpa of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale but my cgpa is 2.4 on a 4.0 scale. What do you think I should do? Please any school ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
yes, i think he would be having a check on those schools too….after all he would get to know the whole profile, so he can judge easily…

Hello HSB Sir,
Can u plz tell me whether I can take a paper based GRE test new pattern(not computer based) from India? Can subject GRE (physics) be also given in paper based mode? What are the disadvantages in giving the test this way?
hi ,Stratford univ is accredited.How u can say its black listed.
is gannon , lawrence technologyand national university (california) a black list university..???
So is it going to effect the on visa approval, if a student apply through any consulting company.
I think GRE is not the only ultimate solution for good universities to decide a students capabilities. I agree that minimum of 65%+ is must. But still, They must also consider a students latest academic records and their other achievements related to their present subject of interest, like presented paper at state or national level, participation in various conference of their field of subjects.
In some cases students get admission in good Universities with scholarship based on their latest academic achievements. Which is not just an admission. It’s an encouragement for students to carry-on their research in their field of interest.
I don’t know why people who have internet go to consultancies to apply to universities. Really, why ?
Hello
Thank u for starting this debate. I like it. The Univs mentioned here will help and guide new students. But I like to differ when you say tht low acads and low GRE score can land you into trouble with the visa officer. I wud like to mention that may affect the chances but still you can go around it and still get the F1 visa. Not everyone is born talented. Not everyone will score above 1300 in GRE. I can tell you my exmaple (in no way I am blowing my own horn). My B. Enggr acads were very bad (52%). It took me 7 yrs to complete my 4 yr Enggr course from Mumbai Univ. At one time I had 27 backlogs (from 1st sem to 8th sem…courtesy due to the ‘n’ ATKT rule in our time). I had applied to average to below average univs. My GRE score was below 1100. But still I manage to convince the visa officer. I think the real reason is the way I presented myself. You shld shw confidence (fake it even if u r nervous)….look at him/her in their eyes. You shld talk clearly and loud enough. (Being in US since last 5 years , I hv seen tht in US comm skills and confidence are of prime imp and will take you where u aim to be…. I am following this and its been a hit for me till now) .
So guys…dont loose hope. Give ur best. (Really dont know that this reply belonged to this thread…but wht the heck…)
So are you saying that below average students cannot get admission into the US? My GRE scores are 1450, TOEFL 112/120 and CGPA of 2.4/4.0. I’? applying to PVAMU, Texas State University, SHSU and University of Texas at Arlington and San Antonio. Are those any good schools?
Did you apply via consulting company?
No I did not. Personally. Why?
No I did not. I am applying Personally. Why?
@Enigma1991.
they are good shool for a student with less than 1100 score in GRE and with less than 80 in TOEFL. If you have applied yourself you are ignorant or if consultant applied for you then you have been cheated by the consultant.
you get better schools than the those you have listed..
A student with GRE 1000/ Toefl 80 acads 65+ will choose such..
Better you review them once again and choose the right one…
