It's funny how a lot term themselves smart, intelligent, ready for the rigorous stress of masters and still cared to take GRE/SAT
/TOEFL?

The last time I did anything relating to maths before GRE was WAEC. I'm pure art student, I used the advantage to ace IELTS 7.5. I didn't do well in GRE Quant 149, but I had the verbal of 157 and awa 4.5. If I find wife I no see wife no be to continue with PhD.

Well, to some it's an escape route to US, and to the serious ones, it's sure an avenue to arm yourself for the bright future ahead. Even if you want to be a care giver in U.S., you need atleast a CNA. Why not take the opportunity and enjoy fully funded Masters of PhD program.

Centrix:
Some people have cogent reasons for not wanting to write standardized tests. Cost is one of them, time's another, just to name a few. Don't be too quick to pass judgement on others especially if you don't know their predicaments

Centrix:


Some schools, albeit few, admit and fund prospective students based solely on their academic transcripts. Yet others take recommendation letters, publications and research/work experience into consideration.

I've had people tell me they have relatives willing to fund their education abroad if they are able to secure admission. In some cases, those relatives do not want to be involved in the PROCESS of securing the admission.

Quick advice to the ladies, try and buy plenty wigs o, hairdo here is pretty expensive. You can dread your hair if you want. I hate seeing girls carry narural hair like say na high school dem dey.

Awesome score you have. I guess mine was the reverse. I had 164 in QA, 140 in Verbal, and 5.0 in AW. Anyways, I got my PhD admits and I am happy I chose a good option out of the lots I had.

bbdd:


This is a bold faced lie.
I know of MFA courses and courses in critical writing and literature where your creative piece and portfolio will speak for you if you're going to be funded.

You think these people have funds to dash out. They'll take your transcript from a third world University hook line and sinker without validating it with a general test which is a leveller for everyone in the world? Which is GRE, TOEFL, GMAT etc and still give you funding?

Besides those avoiding standardized tests are afraid. That means they aren't even the academically excellent ones with good grades. You can tell.

Even after all these they conduct interviews for PhD applicants who are going to be funded to test their spoken English and composure.

Some people talk to professors directly to work In their labs sending countless emails and soliciting for spaces and assistantships.

You're not talking to novices. In this Era of budget cuts, schools are reserving funds for the best of the best and those who are ready to show excellence. People write GRE three times you know so as to get a high score.

On a final note
There is no advantage in not writing standardized test. I will still say it. Only a lazy student will choose not to write one.

P. S. If you still wish to advice lazy applicants not to take standardized tests, you can create a thread titled " how to get funding without standardized tests. This is real! Tried and tested "

I'm sure many people will rush to the red herring. After all many agents still dey hammer on top lazy applicants.

kessel:


U don't get it. I am not asking about getting funding without writing standardized test, what am asking is admission fr MSc without the test. And talking about academic excellence, u may be duller than d dullest urself.... . Stop picking on ppl

Guy it haff do...bbdd gave plethora reasons why standardized test is/maybe of importance to every students on the thread; be it for admission, or for funding or for embassy sake. Other people at the outdoor will as well benefit from this good advice!. If the reason of you not taking the GRE is best known to you, fine! You can Google it yourself Cos I don't think anybody will answer you with the list of schools that doesn't require GRE.. You may be thinking he was actually referring to you as a lazy type but NO.. He was just trying to help you and others (those who doesnt wanna take the GRE) to look genuine.
Make una no fight again!!.."Humans are bound to always disagree to be in agreement"

alfonso36:
