If you plan on applying to schools in USA, I will advise you write TOEFL instead of IELTS.

Good luck!

Please house,
I completed my imputation and submitted on step 3 of WES unofficial transcript evaluation around 3am or there about today.
This is 7am and I haven't seen any email of the result.

Does it take much time, when should I be expecting it? Couple of days, weeks, hours?

Should I go do another one?

Thanks for helping out guys in anticipation

You need to come up with more schools except if you have decided to apply to just one(not advisable by the way).

Insightful. Thank you very much. I really appreciate.

calculator123:

If you are aiming fall2020, by now you should have written the GRE, TOEFL or be in the process of writing soon.
To get safe schools that matches your profile with availability of funds, I will advice you use sites like gradcafe,Msinus, Usnews etc.
Ensure you visit the site of this schools, mail the grad coordinators and shortlist the schools you believe you are more likely to enter with funding too.
Best of luck!

I would love to ask some questions please,my examination ia fast approaching.

Thank you.
I have been trying to send you an Inmail but it's not going through

CptCharlesVane:


What's the interval between the two exams? On the bright side you improved, indicating that you can keep improving for a much better competitive score. If you're willing to give it another try, send a message and I can help with some of the current editions of GRE prep material ebooks.

For techniques towards improvement, endeavour to keep a log of question types you struggle with and practice more on improving on those areas. Also, don't register for the test before preparing so you don't add more pressure on yourself.


I'm also a borderline 2:1 so I understand how i
uphill it might seem holding up against competition. Since you cannot change your GPA, focus on what you can do to improve your profile like acing the GRE, and getting strong recommendations and SOP. You might want to consider taking the subject GRE if possible

There's an art to contacting them, especially when nothing really stands out about your profile so if it's going to be generic, don't bother; well you could always try, but you would most likely be ignored. Quoran has a number of posts about this.

I doubt there's any program with funding that isn't very competitive and increasing in the no. of applicants. Let it serve as your motivation and take solace in the fact the STEM fields are less competitive than non-STEM ones. There's always that chance for you to get in.

Prepare to take the GRE again and see how it goes, aim for fall '20 as well, in-between take up roles like teaching, research, conference etc anything that would improve your profile and application


Don't we all feel inadequate? You'd be surprised how many elite scientists feel the same. Even our brother here with 8 publications and top 1% GPA was quite unsure about his prospects. So don't worry, it's normal. Let this your achievement be emphasised in your SOP as this actually indicates you are capable of doing research, essentially what admissions look for in a candidate.


Don't know about schools but you might want to start looking at Gradcafe for funding info with your GPA range in addition to suggestions you would get here.

You'll be fine, you are in a good place for insights. Best of luck in your endeavour and welcome.

Well done boss

Can you help me with the latest preparation materials for GRE,I sent you a mail already.

Thank you boss

Guys! This GRE has shown me pepper....just wrote it and had a score of 294 ���.
Anyway,I sent it to 4 schools.
My profile goes thus:
BSc Industrial & Production Engineering ( 2.94/4.0)
MSc Industrial Engineering (3.49/4.0).
I intended to write TOEFL but this GRE English has showed me pepper. Any thoughts?

Fall '20? What are you applying for? If you have the funds, give the GRE another shot. There's still time and I believe you will do much better.

Spring oh! Funds is a serious issue.....it's just not been easy combining reading with work. I'd speak to potential supervisors and hear what they have to say. I'm applying for PhD.

Better then. But if you can try to retake, it would greatly improve your chances even for spring as there's still time. Take TOEFL asap and try to get a great speaking score.

Hello,

I'd like to understand this WES evaluation better before starting.

Can I use hellofax to fax my transcript (UNOFFICIAL) to WES-US?

If yes, how ll they contact my school back for confirmation? Or am I to input my school's address somewhere along the line? Since it's the unofficial transcript, will the confirmation make it official? (Please permit my ignorance)

Can someone put me through the process like a summary.

I also read about getting the official transcript from the school nd sending it yourself to WES. Which address should I use as the sender? Mine? School's?



Can I also fax my original WAEC certificate myself? Is that accepted?

Thanks in advance

First, register an account online with WES, make payment and you will be given a REFERENCE NUMBER. Also you will see a detailed info on how and where(address) to send it on your dashboard.

Second, You can't send any unofficial copy of your document to WES. It won't be accept. The only document you can send through FAX is your degree certificate. Your Degree Transcript and WAEC has to be sent directly from the institution.

SO WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?
STEP 1. After making payment to WES, take out your REFERENCE NUMBER. Make sure you include this number on all your documents you will be sending to WES.

STEP 2: Go to your university, request for your transcript and give instruction to be sent to the WES address on your dashboard.

Step 3: Go to WAEC, process your confirmation of result and instruct them to send it to WES adress on your Dashboard.

Don't worry yet how they will contact your school. They know how to contact them. When it gets to that stage you'll also see it on your dashboard. Yours is to hasten your school to verify quick if you attended a public university.

MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE YOUR REF NO IN ALL DOCUMENTS


Kindly find the attached image of WES US address tho you will see all this on your dashboard

According to femi312:

There is this saying that says ''If we don't fight we have failed, but if
we fight we can either fail or succeed''. So forget the tuition part for
now and put in some work. First, you need to decide on the course
you want to study, To save you some stress start from this
website http://graddecision.org/ to know the application process, So
step 1) Decide on the course you want to study 2) Search for schools
using a) www.msinus.com (open this website with a laptop, you
should see a list of school and ranking for some of the most
common courses, you can start from there
b) www.gradschools.com c) www.google.com (you can just type
'msc
in bla bla in the us in google' d) www.usnews.com e) www.4icu.org .
3) check up the website of the schools you find, to see the
requirements. most schools will require GRE and some will require
both gre and toefl . 4) Register for standardize exam and take it. You
can register for gre as soon as you are ready and prepared to take
the exam. Its done online at www.ets.org. You can also get all the
information you need about the exam on the website. You will get
adequate materials to prepare for the exam in this dropbox I
createdhttps://www.dropbox.com/sh/t9ot6d07hp1lkm7/
AADL_dTihjEvNBRCBsmAcoXja?dl=0
TOEFL is an English test required by some US universities. though,
some schools waive due to the fact that Nigeria is an Anglophone
country.
For toefl, all you need are the speaking noteful videos in the link
below, the ets toefl guide is enough to ace the exam for other
sections. Just download the toefl ETS Guide from there website and
the simulation test.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/45tvc3ifi8wh8sh/
AACXR5j6l3nsWK8vZx5P28TVa?dl=0
As for the Tuition, if you have good results (GRE, GPA, Toefl), SOP
and LOR; US schools do offer assistanship to graduate students. This
can either be Research Assistant, Teaching Assistant or
Administrative Assistant. Depending on the school, if you get an
assistantship, your Tuition will be waived and you will also be paid a
monthly stipend that can take care of your living expenses. One
advice, once you shortlist schools, send emails to the grad cord of
the schools and ask specific questions relating to that course and
funding opportunities, be very explicit.
Lastly, there are basically 2 admission session in the US, Spring
(Jan) and Fall (August). Schools admit more students in Fall, so Its
advisable you plan towards Fall 2020.If you plan to resume in fall
2020,make sure you submit all your application documents before
ending of Dec 2019

Some schools will ask you to upload the transcript. Some will ask you to evaluate your transcript. While others will ask you to send it directly to them from your undergraduate institution. Bottom line,it varies.

Please I will like to connect with anyone who is preparing to write GRE in osogbo. Thanks

Good Day All,

I got to know about this thread when I was searching for Erasmus Mundus scholarship thread on nairaland. I would like to know if it is possible for an individual to bypass the TOEFL.....A friend of mine told me he used a letter of recommendation from his school's Registrar in lieu of TOEFL

Is this possible?

Yes that could work, but its based on the discretion of the admissions committee, so mail the Grad coordinator/ admissions officers, and ask explicitly.

Guys, please can you recommend good and reputable international journals in engineering (electrical engineering precisely) I can send my work to. Most of the journals I see are indian journals and I doubt their credibility. Although one of the indian journal already accepted my manuscript, I kinda doubt their credibility as they accepted my paper within 24 hours.
