Delesta2015: This is not true. In fact, on this thread I have discouraged people from applying to Michigan Tech for that very purpose. Even when they fund, it is usually not full and this has been the consensus on even grad cafe. 4 Likes |

MasterforceII: Very good selections and I am very certain you will get at least 2 of them on a full ride. There is a Nigerian from UI or so who even got into Iowa State's E/E PhD program fall 2018 whose profile is not better than yours. Sometimes, one just needs favour which you are in abundance of this time around. Good luck making a choice. #YesYouWill 1 Like 1 Share |

I know much has been said about top schools and programs in the past, but there is more to schooling here than just that. As much as possible (especially for those of you with more than 1 option) make sure to investigate the culture of the school as it relates to people from this part of the world or from different academic backgrounds. Some of those top schools are overwhelmingly unwelcoming to new intakes or have this smug and super-competitive aura about them. if you are not thick-skinned you will suffer. That smaller school with a kind PI may just be what you need to settle. US education is not as easy as vaunted. There are certain things that can be draining. Presentations, Term papers, reports. And then the volume of homework. Many times getting good grades is about over-applying yourself rather being brainy even though being brainy helps. In the past 4 months I have been applying for internships against summer. The feedbacks have been disconcerting to say the least, but we keep pushing. So far, I am certain I have made about 70+ applications with 20+ rejections. The essence of saying this is not to discourage anyone. I am just chronicling my experiences so that when the story changes, it will make for a good ending. There are some Nigerians that have gotten into Internship programs in top companies like Tesla, Cummins, Micron etc. In my little experience, having some sort of programming or coding skill makes a wealth of difference because that is the major skill that many companies look for amongst others. Having good extracurriculars, leadership experiences are also very useful. It is important to also mention that some US citizens themselves have not secured internships regardless of the fact that, most of the rejections many Nigerians will face in the job search will be based on work authorization and citizenship. The good thing is, there are many many many job openings and once there is a will, there is a way. 26 Likes 3 Shares |

Weldone Scholastica16. I'm sure you'll be excellent there even with the workload.I am also positive you'll get a placement for summer. Thank you for your encouragements and kind words.You have not forgotten this forum even with your tight schedule. I must also add that formally the waiting period has begun as most Universities deadline has passed(Jan 15th).Let all FALL19 hopefuls gather for a month power crusade titled " Admissions must come with Full funding" featuring veteran 'pastors'. Note also that another powerful service will come up in another location to be announced later titled " No delay - Visa must be approved". Get ready people.

Hello everyone, i hope our day is going on well. Please I would be writing GRE in the first week of February and I need tips for the verbal aspect of the test as it is my weak point. I have been following this thread for over 5months now and I have all the material on the Google drive shared on this thread. I have watched all magoosh VIDEOS for both the Quantitative and Verbal. So far I have learnt 100 words on the magoosh app(flashcard). I took the ETS practise test 1 and my score was 162(Q) 143(V). Which is also the range of scores I have been getting on magoosh test practise. Around 158(Q) 146(V). I just need some strategies to improve on the verbal aspect. Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Mikkyboy(m): 11:17am On Jan 16, 2019 |
For starters,100 words? Or you mean to say a thousand words. Please improve on your word counts o. During my application, I have learnt that the AWA score is very important in selecting candidates for fellowship so think about acing that part of the test too. solihp: |

You're correct. I know someone who is there now (PhD Mechanical Engineering) and since he got in, all the promises of funding have been a mirage. He's from a rich family so he is pulling through. Michigan Tech is really disappointing considering the nature of industrial work in Michigan Scholastica16: 1 Like 1 Share |

@ bolded , That is key even when applying for admission in STEM fields. When you can code, understand algorithms and solve problems, you have an advantage. All the best in your internship search. Scholastica16: 2 Likes |

solihp:practice from verbal grail and try to write/track your mistakes in a log book. Identify your weakness, is it TC, RC or SC once you have found out which section is giving you problems, now drill down to the cause e.g. Could it be you don't know enough words in context, or you fail to understand convoluted passages, or it could just be that your test taking strategies are poor (e.g. time management, tricks and skills to get the right answer even if you don't know the words) You will need to really identify your area of weakness, inorder to correct it and move forward. Hence, you will keep rotating around that score range. 1 Like |

Hello guys, Please what are my chances of getting full funding for a PhD in Electrical Engineering (Electric Power Systems) with a profile of BEng CGPA (WES Unofficial)----- 3.5/4.0 MEng CGPA (WES Unofficial)------3.36/4.0 Work Experience : 4 years with an Electricity Distribution Company Publications : None, though I hope to publish my thesis NB: I am not through with my Masters yet, I actually got that GPA assuming I get a B in my Thesis. I intend writing my GRE in the 3rd quarter of the year, by then I should have completed my Masters. I would also be glad if any one that know of schools with specialization in Electric Power Systems can recommend for me. 1 Like |
