Yildiz: Yes you need to. It helps sometimes because the adcoms will relay your app to said people who could (on liking you) influence the adcoms to accept you. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by BrightFuture48: 1:20pm On Nov 28, 2017 |
Yildiz:Yes! as scholastica16 has rightly pointed out. Try and mail the prof. in your research area. Introduce yourself briefly and express willingness to join their team. However, due to volume of emails they normal received from prospective students, it can be very disappointing at time, not to get the reply soon. But here is the catch! When mailing the prof. Try and read one or two things about them before, and make the subject of your email some thing that showing appreciation like: Thank you sir, etc. The goal is to make them open the email, and by extension see your profile.The first paragraph should reflect the subject of the email.Then in the second paragraph, introduce yourself along with your profile, and express willingness to join their research team, which hopefully will entice them. This has worked for me. I just got a reply from a prof. in GaTeach expressing interest in me, if am admitted into any GT graduate programs. Though, am just prepping for my GRE and TOELF, hope to write the exam early Jan. God willing!. GSU grad coordinator also tell me to start talking to any prof. I will be willing to do research with, because I'm also considering that as well. So, its a good thing if you can get in touch with any POI in your research area, as soon as possible. All the best bro! 1 Like |

Hello NLander, I need advise urgently, I really don't have a wonderful profile but I'm seriously looking for funding. I had my first degree in Petroleum Engineering UG CGPA - 5.5/7.0 WES Unofficial GPA (last 60 hrs) - 3.51/4.0 GRE Score - 301 (Q159, V142, AW3.5) Terrible I know Work experience: 2 I saw that the GRE requirement for MSC in PE at the University of Louisiana, Lafayette is 285. I saw that one can apply for a PhD in Systems engineering with concentration in any of their engineering options with a Bachelors. Does anyone here think I have a chance? I would have applied for their MSC put it seems with PhD, the chances of getting funding is higher. Someone who know about this school should pls advise. I'm actually not interested in PE anymore, I'm more concern about funding. In fact, if I can take any program related to my field so long I can get funding, the only thing it will cost me is the time to tweak my motivation letter to suit the field. I am also considering MSc in Environmental engineering at Purdue University and University of Massachusetts . The application deadline for the former is 15th Dec so I need to act fast. I just need someone who probably have idea of this schools to either encourage or dissuade (so I won't waste the application fee) me from experience. Finally, looking at my terrible profile what does anyone advise? I know it's difficult to tell, if I one can get funding in most these schools. But if one is to take a risk, take a risk where you have chances. I need someone to make recommendations for this confused fellow. Thanks a lot. |

Without much ado, let me reiterate one of the questions I asked on my former post, which you (nor any other guru) failed to throw light on: Is the TOEFL exam compulsory?

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Scholastica16: 1:57am On Nov 30, 2017 |
arTiculaTe01: TOEFL is compulsory for some schools but not for others. The merits of sitting for it include the chance of getting a TA. Schools like to use the speaking score to guage if someone might be a good TA (amongst other things ofcourse). An overall strong TOEFL score can make up for a weak V score in the GRE as well. In summary, TOEFL bolsters the application and could tip the scale when both candidates are neck and neck. 2 Likes |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Scholastica16: 2:00am On Nov 30, 2017 |
BiggyB242: Funding simply implies; We really want you to come to our school to study and contribute. We see value in you and feel you would add something special to our program and school by extension. We don't want to lose you to another school. Please, pick us. Now the question you should ask yourself is, what factors can make any school come to that conclusion about someone? That is what I am insinuating. ![]() 8 Likes |
