Hello all, I came to the U.S. for master's in 2017, and I got a five-year, multiple entry F1 visa that is valid till June 2022. I returned to my home country after the master's in July 2019. I was wondering if I could still use the same F1 visa for my PhD for Fall 2020, after getting a new SEVIS number and I-20 and paying for the new SEVIS number, or whether I should apply for a new visa altogether. I sent an email to both my previous university and my upcoming PhD university, and replies from both the sources were that I can use the same F1 visa, if it has not expired yet, given I pay for the new SEVIS ID fee. However, to officially confirm one last time, I emailed the US Embassy in my home country. They asked for my passport and scanned copies of old and new I-20s, and responded, "As you have already completed the course and applying for another program, you should apply for new visa." I again asked my previous and new university officials, and they again stood by their former response, and gave the number of the director, if there is any problem during immigration. Do you think the person from the embassy has mistaken the situation a bit? Since the embassy is closed (or at least not accepting visa appointments) right now, it would be an immense relief for me if I could use my previous F1 visa, so that I could just fly as soon as international flights resume. I look forward to hearing your thoughts... Thanks so much!

Topic: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: "Comprehending the past is crucial to tackling present and future obstacles." My essay There are some people who think that as we are living in rapidly changing society understanding the past is no longer that important as it was in the past. However I personally think that trying to harness what our past can teach us is still important because many events that are happening today have similar counterparts in the past, and there are many instances where we find clues to problems that seem to be very new and unfamiliar to us. To begin with, if we have some knowledge in human history, we can find some events that occurred in different countries and different era, but have a lot of similarities with one another. There can be many explanations for it, but I think the reason is, although we are all different people and have different lifestyles, we are all basically the same in that we are all humans, which means that people who lived in different times with us can sometimes have very similar experiences with us and can face similar circumstances that we do now. Thus, it may be safe to say that the lessons they have learned and solutions they have found can still prove to be valid today in solving today’s problems. But of course, there are also many problems that seem to be quite new to us, leading us to think that the ways of the past are not useful to solve them. It may be true, but if we scrutinize those seemingly new problems carefully, sometimes we will find that we can find some clues to solve them from the old solutions. There are many examples in some fields of science, such as organic chemistry, where we sometimes find that a previously unheard-of finding is obtained through combining already well-known processes in a new way, or some breakthrough is obtained by just reorganizing previously known knowledges in a more efficient way. These examples are numerous, which suggests that useful insights can be gained through deep understanding of previous knowledges, and it may possibly lead to solving current or future problems. To sum up, as we may face similar problems that existed in the past we may rely on previous knowledge to solve those problems, and although in some case the problem can seem to lack previous examples, we still can obtain important clues to tackle them by thoroughly examining the past. In this regard, I must say that I think, the importance of comprehending the past cannot be overstated. Any form of feedback is welcome :)

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew how to access the previous US News Rankings for economics graduate programs. I understand they do it about every four years or so, and if anyone knows, that would be great. I've done some searching around and understand that there might b some copywrite issues, but at least pointing me in the right direction would be swell. Cheers mates
