Princewillalex: It's not a must to write the GRE or TOEFL (due to the growing population of Nigerian students, schools these days waive writing English proficiency tests as our official language is English) before one applies to schools in the US. However, it's necessary especially if you want to be funded and the calibre of the institution. Funding works by a faculty (say professor) sponsoring you in his/her laboratory as a graduate student for the period of your studies. You work with this professor in his/her research fields, publishing results and eventually graduating from the university. Because you're funded (school fees waives away and being given a monthly stipend, some of which comes with certain requirements like teaching undergraduate students who offer the professor's course(s)), you don't pay anything. However, to be funded, your profile must be enticing as the professor/depairtment/faculty are/is investing in you throughout your studies. So, they need to be sure that the recipient is worthy - academically, professionally, ethically etc. No one wants to admit and fund a graduate student who is indolent, has no ethics and horrible grades over the years. That would be a waste of scarce funds which can be used for other students. On the other hand, if you have the money, you can apply and opt to fund your studies. Schools will be glad to admit as this provides them with needed funds (admission requirements might be lax because you're paying). Most Asians esp Chinese do this and later get funded for PhD (it's an unwritten rule that you don't sponsor yourself for a PhD degree, the department does). Then again, in the very best institutions, whether you're self-funded or funded by the department, you must write those standardised examinations including TOEFL whether or not English is Nigeria's official language. 3 Likes 1 Share |
