Yeah.. and a single cheap lunch will cost you around N1500; a cheap apartment in an affordable neighborhood will cost you around N100K monthly..point is standard/cost of living is different.

godG:


Hello,

You are on the right path. Please, if I may ask, why those schools? Instead of circumscribing yourself, why not look at other schools that will take GRE from you. See, the idea of MAT is somehow - at least, to me.

Even for your course, most schools would suggest you write subjects-based GRE instead of MAT. I am saying this because I am familiar with your terrain - a graduate of English.

Ma, your chances are limited with what you have here. Don't let it be. In fact, there are schools that have Professional Writing as a major in their Department of English and all they want is your GRE. Consider this.

To cap it:

On one hand, if you are going ahead with your GRE plans, great. On the other hand, if you are going with the schools requirement, fine. Just give your all to whichever one suits you.

I wish you well.

Richiy:


Thank you for the reply. I just figured I should go on with the GRE exams since it is more obtainable here. The school also accepts GRE too. I really want to get this right.
