Yildiz:You are good to start your application in October, some schools require you to input your result in the application portal while some dont. Either case you should be fine since they will still wait to receive your official GRE score until they review your application. You can start your application by october and chase your LOR providers during that time since LOR is one of the materials that delay completion of application. |

[color=][/color] Hello house.. Am new to this thread..my question is that...is it a must to make use of WES for calculation of one's cgpa |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Scholastica16: 6:41pm On Aug 16, 2017 |
Bebebella: Read from page 1 of this thread. If you get far enough you'd have 70% of the information you already need. I gather you are aiming for a PhD which is splendid because with a good GRE score, you could be admitted into a top 100 US school fully-funded. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by DreManuel(m): 6:44pm On Aug 16, 2017 |
khadijat2015: NO |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Scholastica16: 6:45pm On Aug 16, 2017 |
khadijat2015: No. Some schools ask for it whilst others don't. It helps in guaging one's profile though, especially when trying to communicate with POIs. They relate better when you say, "I had a 3.7/4" than say, 4.4/5 (even though both are stellar). The former appears to them as 92.5% whilst the latter mathematically is 88%. But, like I said before, it depends on the school of choice. WES costs $212 to process but using the free converter can help with an appropriate estimate that would not stray too far from the actual conversion. |

Scholastica16: I'm kinda laid-back, so I never bothered to go through the entire thread myself save from the page 250Something upon which I stumbled on this thread -- and that's long after I had written my own GRE, so I learned the hard way, but I found myself here somehow perhaps to cheer others up as I pass along. So, I took the pain to scan through the thread today, and I can see valuable inputs/testimonials from great minds here. I recommend that "newcomers" and/or intending test takers should do the same. And you - Scholastica16 - have earned your props. I read through your valuable contributions, magnanimous gestures, personal aspirations and hopes. And all I can say is that you deserve the very best and nothing less. Why? Mary Anne Radmacher was right: “As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way.” 2 Likes |

I have another question. Is it possible to meet up for spring 2018 admission And how soon can one start preparing for it |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Scholastica16: 12:12pm On Aug 17, 2017 |
khadijat2015: Yes and No. Yes if you have all your documents ready (including LORs, SOPs and GRE) you can definitely make it in time for Spring. There is a little hitch though, most funding opportunities bar a very few exist in Fall as against spring so it is always recommended that applicants from our side of the divide considered Fall above Spring except you have your own external source of funding. Fall admission cycle begins in Oct. I think you should aim for it whilst you prep for your GRE. US can wait. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by DreManuel(m): 1:31pm On Aug 17, 2017 |
Rousel: Good morning, I do not know any other way to approach the application fees than paying it, except it is waived for you - and that's very rare. Even if you are applying to different programs in a school, one application fee won't suffice for all of them as you would have to pay severally. Sadly you will have to pay the non-refundable $90 or whatever the school is asking even when admission is not guaranteed. It's true your chances of getting funding as an international student is as not as promising as STEM majors. You would have to try harder than STEM guys to be able to cut the mustard. So you need to reach out to schools of your choice and seek out possibilities for funding. I don't know any I can recommend but do your research. You could also consider local scholarships that sponsor Economics Major overseas. But you may have to choose courses related to oil and gas management in some cases like PTDF. You could try Chevening too if you like UK and meet the requirements. |
