bukahands: Since you are a "biochemist", I would say you are talking to the wrong person. Imperiouxx will be in the best position to answer that. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part3 by Yvete(f): 4:09am On Jan 23, 2013 |
OjaP: Yvette: Yes, I agree with you. Masters is all you need here to get a job unless you want to be a researcher or work in research based institutions. The 3-5 years dedicated for a PhD can be used to gather years of experience under your belt since "experience is the best teacher" especially in America. ---------------------- What is 2:1 and 2:2 equivalent to? I mean in US GPA system? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part3 by imperiouxx(m): 4:12am On Jan 23, 2013 |
Yvete: Nigeria first class is the excellent that US divided into c u m laudes: c u m laude (3.50-3.64), magna c u m laude (3.65-3.79), and summa c u m laude (3.80-4.00). Nigeria 2:1 is US 3.0 to 3.49 Nigeria 2:2 is US 2.9 to 2.5 @buka, Check previous page, I gave you the address of the head of Chemistry & Biochem of SDSU. |

Yvete: You are so on point. I want to pursue a PhD too because my father wants his son to be a PhD holder, and also because peeps back home are over-educated. More than 80% of my friends are currently working on their PhD. I actually gained admission to two PhD schools but had to defer because I will never quit my job for full research. I am still talking to one of them to see if it will be possible for them to collaborate with my company and work from here..maybe I can just report to my Professor once a month, I know its doable....lol. Yes, most companies like "fresh bloods", and if looking for experience, go for Masters + experience/ some go for bachelors + plenty years of experience (depending on the company). 2:1 is equivalent to a minimum of 3.0 USA GPA 2.2 ranges from 2.5 to 2.9 Some strong 2.2 can make 3.0 US equivalent if converted by WES. 1 Like |

imperiouxx: Nigeria first class is the excellent that US divided into c.um laudes: c.um laude (3.50-3.64), magna c.um laude (3.65-3.79), and summa c.um laude (3.80-4.00). OjaP: 2:1 is equivalent to a minimum of 3.0 USA GPA I guess a First Class is from 3.5 - 4.0. Hmnnn I've always thought that a Magma c.um laude is the Nigerian First class. Wow! bukahands: Me english disturbs me even this GRE sef, the english part na war all this comprehension blah blah Loool all that archaic vocabulary. Gruber's verbal and AWA section is great to practice with. Timing is the problem with the GRE. Success to GRE test takers this year! |

If there is anything like discouragement I haven't seen it here since few days past. Or you mean advising someone on direct PhD is discouraging the person? or given address of the school and breakdown of the program is what you called discouragement?. Moreover, I don't see what you wrote up there as an advice or encouragement rather than another begin of havoc and controversy. Take note abeg ma'am. 3 Likes |
