Pampaya009: What did it cost you, 45k? |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by paulbets: 2:21pm On Apr 12, 2018 |
Pampaya009 It took a lot of courage to post your low GRE score here, given that most scores posted here are usually above 300 and some getting close to 330. The truth I want to tell you is that, the GRE is a tough exam and one is most likely to come out with an abysmal score if they prepared in a month or less. Also, preparing with technically insufficient materials is another straight way to scoring well below 300. That been said, I want to encourage you to write another GRE test, and to give yourself at least 3 months for intensive preparation. Remember the Fall 2019 cycle you are targetting is still far; the applications become active from around October. You also need to prepare with adequate materials; and so many have been mentioned in this thread.. Thus you will need to search for them. Materials like Manhattan 8 strategy series GRE official guide NOVA GRE Bible Magoosh videos (which the link has been shared here, please search for it). And other materials you will come across in this thread. Do a lot of timed practice tests online. Please endeavour to read this thread well for study guides, strategy and materials. You could check all posts by Scholastica16, Akatovic, Time2smile etc. I am confident that with enough preparation with good materials, you will score well above 300 in your next try. Another advice; in this pursuit for US Admission, you will have to do a lot of personal research and use peoples experiences shared here and else where. Browse and research very well about your schools of interest; lookout for faculties of interest that works on your area of interest; call the program coordinator of the course you want to know more about and also do not hesitate to call any faculty you like his or her work on the phone. You should send emails for enquiries or to show interest; but always follow it up with a phone call. You can also call first. Whenever you call, if the call goes to voicemail, do not be shy to leave a short voice mail on why you called and nudging them to reply your mail. It's a tough process; but you will end up loving the experience. You have my best wishes 15 Likes 2 Shares |

nelem:I’m doing great and thanks for asking. Yes. You can still apply to Tamuk for fall 2018. However, your chances of getting the graduate scholarship and out-of-state tuition waiver would be slim. Again, it depends on the program you are applying to....what program do you intend applying to? |

Masters degree funding is hard. From what I see on Gradcafe, it is really hard. PhD is the sure way to go but then , don't do a PhD if you don't have interest in research. Have you considered Canada? They fund their masters degree students though it is usually competitive. BiggyB242: |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Nobody: 11:21am On Apr 13, 2018 |
Quoran: I will do research if that's all it takes to get funding bro, "I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me". Talking about Canada they usually need account statement over 10million but for US it can be bypass, or is there is anyway around it. |

nelem:Considering the timelines in applying, getting admission decision, getting I-20, going to the embassy for visa, etc.....you may not be able to meet up with the whole processes considering the school’s resumption time in August. However, if you feel you can meet up, you may give a try. |

Hi everyone, Good to be here! I thought I'd share two generous funding opportunities for grad school with the house. 1) EducationUSA Opportunity Funds Program (OFP). Closes June 30. What they're looking for: Preferably STEM majors with 4.5 or higher undergrad GPA with demonstrated financial need. They'll assist you in the application process, and provide funds (on a case-by-case basis) to apply and get admitted. Note: Even if you don't have a first class but preferably over 4.0, apply still. But be ready to demonstrate that you're insanely passionate about going to grad school and simply don't have the resources to do so. Application page: https://ng.usembassy.gov/education-culture/exchange-programs/opportunity-fund/ 2) Knight Hennessy Scholarship Program at Stanford. Applications for 2019 classes close September 12, 2018. Definitely more competitive, they'll fund your grad school for up to 3 years at Stanford. But you must be admitted to a program at Stanford at the same time, else you won't be eligible. A long shot, but if you had a very high undergrad GPA (even with weak extracurricular activities), it's definitely a shot worth taking. No application fees, and if selected, all your fees are catered for, plus flight expenses covered. Eligibility criteria: https://knight-hennessy.stanford.edu/admission/eligibility Best. 4 Likes |

Thanks, my gmail is femimckonzy@gmail.com Btw, have you guys heard of the USA Opportunity Funds Program (OFP). It helps graduates with the application fees and all buh its very competitive sha. Y'all should check it out. In case anyone is a recipient/has info about the program, please holla. Make boys glean small from your knowledge. Cheers. happyday: |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Daint: 11:04pm On Apr 13, 2018 |
paulbets: This is true. I prepared in 2 weeks and had 305 still hoping if I qualify for schools requirement it's been disturbing since and JKK house had network issues the whole test experience wasn't fun |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Nobody: 7:10am On Apr 14, 2018 |
You are right.... OFP is a very competitive and dope something. Do you have any publication? Did you finish from a public university? I applied last year but did not make it to the final stage. ORI1: 1 Like |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Nobody: 7:13am On Apr 14, 2018 |

Jumybecks:Nah, no publications but I finished from Unilag. How was the application process like? Thanks guys, I have seen the GRE documents. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Nobody: 10:05am On Apr 14, 2018 |
Where are you bro? I have a very limited access to the Internet at the moment Shanid: |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Nobody: 10:10am On Apr 14, 2018 |
The application process simulates normal grad app. You must be in dire need of the financial support and you must show it. They are using the avenue to help those that are financially incapacitated. I think you'd be required to write two essays and submit a number of documents. All the best in your application. ORI1: |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by ORI1(m): 10:21am On Apr 14, 2018 |
Thanks man. I appreciate. By the way, it says that GRE results are recommended for engineering students. Does this mean that I have to get my GRE results by the June 30 deadline? Jumybecks: |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Nobody: 11:15am On Apr 14, 2018 |
My pleasure. Yes it ought to get them before June 30th..... But I'd advise you not to rush yourself to take GRE if you have no intention of taking it before their deadline. You may want to focus well on other areas of the application - the essays are very important. ORI1: |

If you have really good grades, try the Knight Hennessy Scholarship Program. With good test scores, good application essays and supporting documents, you can get it. Someone from Unilag made the list last year. The funding is generous also. happyday: 2 Likes |
