The vast majority of those seeking help with their F1 student visas are Indians, Pakistanis, and Bangladeshis. I don't know if it was a bad advice video that went viral or something but it keeps happening again and again.

For goodness sakes if you get denied please don't apply again having only changed your school! Your school choice wasn't the reason you were denied! Just like with tourist visas, with F-1 visas the devil is in the details.

The USE knows that even relatively wealthy families can't necessarily afford to send their child to Harvard. Going to a mid or lower-tier school doesn't mean an automatic denial. If your application was denied your school choice was probably not the primary reason--unless it is a known visa-mill school.

It's sad to see applicants applying multiple times and throwing their money away without fixing the root cause of the problem.
