adetola007: Imperial is highly rated but I don't know if they would offer you an MSc or MEng. That's the first issue because without the former, transitioning into a PhD would be harder in the USA. Secondly, it is mega expensive even with PTDF. I think the tuition is like £26,000 (plus living expenses in London are out of this world). I don't know if PTDF can still fund it with this current exchange rate. Thirdly, life in UK post-schooling and job prospects. I dey see plenty imperial people hustling for "crumbs" in Nigeria. So make rating no too motivate you. A lot of those ratings are heavily dependent on politics, endowment size and quality of past research work. But if you can get it on a full-ride then enjoy. |

toprealman: 45k with B.Y MAFIT. The issue now is available dates. For him to ask for it it means they might need a particular section from it to aid their decision-making. Challenging them to waive it for you might be counter-productive. Instead ask them to be considerate with time while you search for a suitable date. |

andradaeze: @bolded. The department of Mathematics, BGSU is quite generous with funding for MSc students. I know someone who had a 2.2 with low GRE and toefl score who got admitted with full funding and monthly stipends last year. I also got admitted to their Computer Science dept (MSc) for Fall 2017 and I'm expecting a +ve funding decision soon. You have a good profile. Hopefully, you'll get a positive response from them soon. 1 Like 1 Share |

jaybiz007:It's not something hard, when they announce application, all you have to do is to fill the online application, you'll need 3 people to provide recommendation for you. You can submit your application with or without your test scores. You also have to upload transcript. You can also apply to, KAUST, they have better funding package but more selective than kfupm. All the best with your application. |

The quality of their education and the individual candidate taking the test. The data doesn't also provide spread of the distribution. I'm sure over ten times more Nigerians take the test compared to candidates from those tiny Scandinavian countries. Also note that Dutch candidates score higher than native English speakers, why is that? sirRiddy: |

jaybiz007:KFUPMS normally opens application every February and October every year. You should be checking their website anytime from now. KAUST is King Abdullah University of Science and Technology. Unfortunately, application just closed this past January but another application should be open around May/June or so. It's one of the highly rated university in the Arab world and it provides funding in the range of 20k to 30k USD. It's a research intensive school with state-of-the-art facilities. |

adetola007: Choi!!!! This guy!!!! I just open mouth as I dey read una profiles ![]() I think we should have LSU Applicant Association of Nigeria (LAAN) ![]() ![]() KFUPM is a nice school, but I heard they admit mostly Muslim, applicants from other religion have very slim chance of getting in. They even have questionnaire on d religion thingy in their online application. Perhaps, u are a moslem brother...... I once applied to d school but the lecturer who was supposed to submit a recommendation letter for my application didn't meet up with their deadline, so my application was eventually not reviewed. I will still give it a shot again... In addition to d schools mentioned earlier. I also applied to: University of Arkansas TAMUK (During my application, I contacted a prof who's doing research in my area of interest. After some email exchanges, he asked me mention his name in my application material as my potential advisor. I believe things will evetually work out fine) Ohio University U of Louisiana Lafayette Wichita State Uni Wayne State Uni. San Diego State Uni (though they are still on my neck for my official transcript and degree certificate from my school. Fee days ago, I got an email from d Administrative Asst of d dept relaying a well packaged info from d Grad Coordinator (I initially thought it was admission decision). When I opened d attachment in d email, I was pissed with d content. It was just a letter from d grad coord informing me that my application isn't complete. Though they asked me to forward my SOP and LOR to d dept. I responded to d email explaining d challenges associated with sending my transcript to them, n d grad coord reverted saying that he perfectly understand my frustration, but that d grad school do not permit them to evaluate profile without official transcript......I just tire for d school The speaking requirement for GA in university of Arkansas is quite high (ie, 26). I was surprised when the school contacted me saying that they use WAEC result for applicants from Nigeria...... Did any UArk applicant get that? I wrote d TOEFL test though Thank God these great men here with stellar profile aren't applying to d same program as me.....they are mostly 'War heads', so I still get hope with my weak profile.... ![]() ![]() |

Good morning friends... For those interested in PhD Statistics, pls check this out: http://scholarship-positions.com/phd-scholarship-statistics-university-wollongong-australia/2017/02/01/ The deadline is 1st March, 2017 There is also Australian Academy of Science Doctoral Fellowship at 37,000 Euros per year (tax inclusive) for all disciplines http://scholarship-positions.com/austrian-academy-of-sciences-doctoral-fellowship-programme/2016/02/02/ Deadline is September 15th, 2017 Pls I'd like the house to clarify me on this: The education consulting firm that registered me for GRE indicated "Small Business Operations" as Intended Graduate Major rather than the Mathematics and Statistics I gave them when I furnished them with my info for registration. Could this have any bearing on my applications? I had ignored it all along but its recently occurring to me as an aberration. Thank you |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by iCool(m): 12:39pm On Feb 05, 2017 |
seeker88: Thanks for the clarification. I dey eye that your Ohio University and Wayne State o. Wayne State requires WES, No time for that one so I skipped them. Ohio stated clearly that that have funding available for my specialization and they do a Rolling admissions. Lemme check if they use uploaded transcripts so I'll apply. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by iCool(m): 12:51pm On Feb 05, 2017 |
Seeker88. My profile is simply fair though I stand a good chance. GPA : 3.35/4 - I was modest with my conversion. GRE : 318 AWA: 4.0. This was my second GRE. Toefl: 106 R28 L26 S26 W26 I will confirm later, my head is overheating. sure of the total score and speaking score. LOR : 2 *very strong* ones from work. No idea what the Prof wrote in his own. 3.5yrs Work & 1.5yrs Internship Exp well tuned in my SOP to suite my area of interest for MSc. Thanks to SirRiddy. 1 Like |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by djPyper: 2:25pm On Feb 05, 2017 |
234ng44uk:Oh sorry I didnt state my scores earlier, the scores were Q153 V159 AWA 4.5 - it took almost four weeks from the date of my exams to receive the scores - From my experience i'll say it doesnt even make sense to write the paper test except you're uncomfortable with computers. Let me explain, the questions were very easy but after scaling and equating with other test takers my scores came out lower than expected...to get very high scores on the paper test, you have to answer the questions almost perfectly, whereas for the computer test, its computer adaptive so if you do fairly well in the easy section and the harder section that comes up next your scores will be quite high. 1 Like |
