Time2Smile: I transferred funds to friends that had GTB accounts and were not using the $100 a month limit that their bank let them have. They were gracious enough to not turn it into a business transaction so they let me use the bank's rate of N320 to $1. I believe my UofH app fee was $75 which came out as N24000 but I transferred N24,500. Some of them gave me the card details i.e card number and expiry date, billing address and name of card owner while some others requested the links and paid it for me. At the end of the day it was relatively cheaper that way and it saved me from asking family members over there for help. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Cephas0009: 4:10pm On Jan 31, 2017 |
Time2Smile: Well, I paid sometimes last year when exchange rate was friendly 270/$1 I guess with access bank, there system automatically picks ur home address which u entered during application as billing address when u want to pay. As long as u don't change it regardless of whose atm u r using, u should be fine. That was the challenge i had last time |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Sbrainy(m): 8:17am On Feb 01, 2017 |
Good morning , Kudos to the movers of this thread ! I celebrate you ! Pls , I am getting a bit confused about the issue of TOEFL. 1. Is TOEFL Compulsory for US schools? 2. Since our official language is English, aren't exempted from TOEFL? 3. Are there TOEFL exemption criteria for international students ( other than some whites) ? More exposition on this and other questions unasked will clear my confusions. Thanks in Anticipation |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Nobody: 9:00am On Feb 01, 2017 |
Sbrainy: You shouldn't be confused, and for just reasons. First, not all schools require prospective graduate students from Nigeria to take the TOEFL as a test of their competence in English language. Some schools waive TOEFL for admission decision namely Cleveland state university Ohio, University of Colorado Boulder etc. Second, all you need to know about entry requirement for both local and international students is clearly stated in the school's webpage. More so you can always ask the graduate coordinator of your intended program to expound on any obscure area. Third, though TOEFL isn't required by every school, it is advised that every prospective graduate student take it. It isn't so difficult, infact believe me when I say it's actually one of the easiest standardized test you'll ever take. Although it's expensive, the benefits that accrues from taking the test far outweigh any and all quagmire that taking the test may bring. I'll urge you to take the test if it won't be so much of an inconvenience so in the future you don't in hindsight wished you had taken it. Wish you success in your endeavors. |

Sbrainy: andradaeze: @Sbrainy, I read from The General USA Student Visa thread that you can apply to Missouri State University Mathematics Masters without the GRE. It was written there that they fund all their Mathematics graduate student. I think you should check out the school. All the best. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by seeker88(m): 12:36pm On Feb 01, 2017 |
aanexplus:For now, I can't specifically recommend schools that are not stingy with funding as I am also an applicant for Fall 2017. Your profile is okay. I'd suggest you search for schools that offers your course (with your desired specialization). You could narrow down your search to schools whose GRE requirements are close to your scores. Also, check the research expenditure of schools/faculty.....I noticed that schools with higher research expenditure tend to give more funding to their students. Send emails to the graduate coordinator of the schools selected; certainly, most won't respond to your emails and few will respond. Strategize further based on responses received..... Send as many emails as you can; there's no fee for emailing the grad coord at least ![]() ![]() During my search, I stumbled on a copy of Engineering School ranking from US News and World Report, and it was quite helpful in making my selection (I have attached a copy here for your use). I applied to very few top schools considering my 'not-stellar' profile, and turned more applications to the schools down the ranking while believing God for my testimony soon ![]() ![]() https://www.dropbox.com/s/e9p1vxwrnnqszdy/All%20Engineering%20Ranking%202017-US%20News%20%26%20World%20Reports.xlsx?dl=0 Whichever strategy u wanna stick to, act fast because the priority deadline for most average school is around mid Feb 2017. I wish you all d best in your application. #TeamFall2017# 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Time2Smile(m): 5:48pm On Feb 01, 2017 |
towbaynah:I think you should be unequivocal in your reply that it takes a number of years for degree certificate to come out. Let them know this is a developing country where things don't run so smoothly. Let them know they you wouldn't be able to provide it because it is in existence yet. Maybe you can get a letter from the registrar of your school to provide further evidence. By the way, was the degree certificate listed as part of applicatios documents in their requirements? |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by towbaynah(m): 7:06pm On Feb 01, 2017 |
Time2Smile: Yeah it was listed but it wasn't mandatory. Here's how it appeared on their website; "College Graduation Certificate/Diploma if already issued (Certified English translation and original language)" I felt my transcript would cover for it. Not so much, apparently. It's going to be a fairly long shot seeking to get a letter from my registrar. I actually intend calling them at Kent in about an hour from now. Then, I'll explain to them, along the lines of what you suggested, the exact situation of things. Thanks, mate. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Okusi(m): 10:58am On Feb 02, 2017 |
Are letters of recommendation meant to be sent through email? |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Scholastica16: 12:49pm On Feb 02, 2017 |
towbaynah: At this day and age a school is asking for certificate over the transcript? That is new and so far, I have no respect for such schools. I agree with Time2Smile and I think you should be more resolute in your email. The official transcript is always better than the certificate because it has the individual courses written on it, grades, CGPA and the class of degree- virtually all and more than you could get in the certificate and that should be communicated to them. |
