JAMB INSTRUCTIONS TO ALL CANDIDATES WHO ARE PREPARING FOR THIS EXAM

Baba thanks for this post. Abeg I fit PM you?

DanjaNinja:
I made this post on the main usa student visa thread. As you prepare to study in the US, please note the following advise. You dont have to be in computer science either.

"If you intend to do a Masters in Computer Science in the Us and you do not have a first degree in computer science, i take God beg you, once you get here, dont skip these two courses/prerequistes: Intro to Computer Science and mostly importantly, "Data Structures". An intro to algorithm course is also necessary.

Computer Science is a deep and diverse field. All areas, from Artificial intelligence to database and standard applications programming (from windows to andriod) all require a good understanding of algorithms, data structures and some object oriented programming concepts (the latter is usually taugth in any standard data structure class).

One common mistake those with a non-computer science background make is to skip these topics beliving they can survive and learn these prerequisites on the go all in the name of cutting cost.

I repeat, Dont even think of taking any advanced level course until you have confidently understood the concepts taught in these courses. These are required "Prerequisites" and not "corequisites". You cannot learn as you go, you must already know these topics before you can take your regular graduate classes.

My first semester was a disaster of epic proportions because i failed to take these courses.
Imagine JJC like me taking classes on advanced database (i never even take database course before sef) and object oriented programming with c++. One thing is certain, you will struggle till the end of the semester and your grades would suffer greatly.

I have spoken with friends studying computer science from several universities and they all share the same opinion.

Please note, this is not Nigeria where your final exam makes up 70 percent of your final grade. Over here, your final exam is mostly 30-40% of your final grade. The rest is evenly split between your assignments, midterms, papers, projects and labs. In this amelika, to make an A, you need a score of 90 and above whereas in naija you need only 70 to make an A. The difference is like night and day.

So, for your own good, as soon as you arrive, approach your academic advisor and make them understand you dont have any background in computer science. This applies to every other discipline. Interact with your academic adviser as well as current students. Make them know your background and your limitations. Its not always about studying hard, sometimes for you to succeed, you need to "know what you dont know that you dont know". Only those with experience in that field can help you with that."

On my application update:
K-State: I sent a mail to Statistics Program Grad Coord asking for admission update. I was
informed I was on the wait-list for funding. The availability of funding will determine admission.

Bowling Green State University: Masters in Mathematics. Admitted, funding decision to come later.

Congratulations!!! All d best with funding...

Happy birthday to you too...we are waiting for our cake in form of funding update

You get work for oak ridge

Lol. I pray. My lab mate's boyfriend works there. We got talking during the week, and he mentioned some cool stuffs about industry research going on there.

Yeah! It is a national lab, so they've got a lot of funding for research with state of the art instruments. They are more into nuclear related stuffs;same as Los Alamos National lab. The most recently discovered element, Tennessine (₁₁₇Ts) was synthesized at Oakridge national lab
