drhopeful: Drhopeful: I'd begin by saying a mighty congratulations to you on your offers, especially the one from UVA. As I read your post stating the offer from UVA, I was like...'haaaa Drhopeful must jump at this'! But going down and discovering you had obtained I-20 and processed SEVIS payment with respect to Pennstate, I couldn't but exclaim 'Oh no'!!...lol. I frankly respect your decision. PhD is research intensive. I feel there's nothing as juicy as having an opportunity to travel for conferences and make presentations in the course of doing a PhD. Not only will it enhance building of research skills, it helps build a professional network as well. Infact I've been thinking, when I eventually get a GTA and I develop a good rapport with a Professor in my field, I wouldn't mind switching to an GRA. I feel it gives a student enough time to concentrate on research rather than doing a research and teaching, grading, etc simultaneously. Moreso, your professor could recommend you to research institutes to do some research work, some of which could eventually pave way for job opportunities in the future. When you amass these skills and become highly productive in the research industry, God can make Trump himself hand you a green card... Thumps up (both hands and legs thumps!.. ) to you for your decision. You'll recover all you spent processing PennState in manifolds. May God give you more excellence spirit as you lunch out. By the way, please change your moniker to Profhopeful as I envisage that in the nearest future.. PS: Abeg make una no mind my cut & join grammer o....if to say na maths now, the formula for connect the variables logically and coherently.. 7 Likes |

Guys. How you doing. Dr hope bug thumb. Actually, a Dr. Requested for sample codes and sop from me(usa). Is it important I include videos? Thank you |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by happyday: 2:31am On Apr 11, 2017 |
aanexplus:Sample codes for what? |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Nobody: 5:15am On Apr 11, 2017 |
OluDare01:If you ask me, that's a very wrong move and falacy of generalization. Those first 2 schools are highly regarded schools even though UTK isn't bad. Saying they wont have time for her is not entirely through. If you show passion and drive, your supervisor will surely be interested in you. And again for some people the school doesn't really matter, what matters is what you gain/get out of the program |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by aanexplus(m): 7:41am On Apr 11, 2017 |
happyday: My programming sample codes. Like applications I have developed over time. He requested for some of them |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by happyday: 9:38am On Apr 11, 2017 |
aanexplus: Oh then, that's normal. Apparently, you'd need to do some coding in his lab. |

Update Ohio State- kind rejection letter. Oh well, it was a reach school(TAMU included). I would have fainted if I had gotten the admit. I am waiting for decisions from the other schools. 2 Likes 1 Share |

drhopeful: I read this back to front and front to back like 10 times. I am deeply touched by your story. Yours just typifies the statement that true and lasting wealth is of the mind. So forget low class or poor, you are loaded Dr. and we have a lot to learn from you. All the best in your, what-is-sure-to-be success-laden journey into proper research in Virginia. I have some experience with IPS myself but it is a negative one. So I took the entrance test, passed it and got invited for the panel interview. After having answered their barrage of questions for what felt like the whole day, many people were convinced I would definitely be taken. They were wrong. I didn't even make the reserve list. Pained me for like 1 full day but I moved on. @the moniker, yea you sure do know him. They have attacked him alot so he is always hyper-defensive or even paranoid but I learn alot from him. Edit: so Petroleum engineering, how and why did you transition to materials engineering? 2 Likes |

Scholastica16: @Scholastica16. Thanks for the insightful comments and probing questions. @bolded, same question I've been meaning to ask. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by mfarad(m): 8:45pm On Apr 11, 2017 |
reDazey:Sorry about that. All the best in the others. BTW, is this andradeaze? |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by drhopeful: 9:07pm On Apr 11, 2017 |
Scholastica16:Thanks Scholastica16. So sorry about IPS. @the moniker, I get where he comes from, albeit, too acerbic. There is another one that is now missing in action - four letter moniker that starts with small 'b' . @ the field transition, I applied for MS Pet, them say them no dey offer am again but would not let me go. So I was offered Mat, and I decided to try it out, oblivious of the fact that it was a blessing in disguise. Mat is a very boring and tough subject but somehow I fell in love with it. |

Update - Still 3 admits so far. on Lsu, I just heard yesterday that my last recommendation letter wasn't turned in by the Prof. and so my application has not being reviewed, I assumed all was well since the other 2 recommendations got in by 1st week of January. I felt my online app just didn't update that final rec, unfortunately Lsu didn't inform me rec letter was missing. Learning point - Never make any assumptions, it usually ends in disaster. 3 Likes |

On Auburn, I paid for transcript + Dhl to two different schools. One was sent end of January, school received it 5 days later and I was offered admission about two week later. Second transcript wasn't sent till mid February using (I think 300naira) Nipost. Meanwhile I had been busy worrying the school but they were very sure my transcript wasn't in yet. Resent another transcript with Dhl, arrived in about 4days. Still waiting for admission decision. Learning point - Follow up on every item on your checklist, ensure the mission is accomplished as per plan so people don't mess you up. 1 Like |
