Hi Everyone,
It's been long since I've been here, I just want to quickly share my testimony.

I came to know about this thread through my mom last year when I was getting ready for the GRE, I didn't really talk much here but this thread was very helpful. I got a lot of materials from here and even more, I got people who really helped me from here, especially @happyday. I didn't do so well on my GRE (308) though I did very well on the TOEFL, so I was very discouraged but people encouraged me that it was still possible to get funding so I decided to work hard on my application (I applied to only one school) .
I contacted happyday to help me on my applications and he did every single step of the way, tirelessly reading through and correcting my essays, and giving me advice about how to email professors and other things.
After finally submitting the application, I was granted admission but no funding. However, they informed me that there is a professor who is interested in funding me but he is waiting on some grants.
At this point, I started thinking of applying to other schools but I couldn't really afford to.
Finally, after much waiting, they contacted me that I have been granted full funding plus a monthly salary.
I just want to appreciate those that created this thread and kept it running, especially Sirridy and happyday. I also want to apologize for not being regular here.

Thank you very much.

PS: The school is University of Arkansas and my course is Agricultural Economics (MS).

Congratulations! Full funding plus a monthly salary. You are blessed.

BTW, where are Scholastica16 and Time2smile? You two should not give high blood pressure oh! Any update?

Thanks Ma'am. Congratulations to you too.

seeker88:


Congratulations! This is really a great news! So there's still hope for full funding for MS applicants like us

This is one of the schools I applied to, but yet to get their decision. Pleaae, when did you submit your application and how were u notified of the admission/funding decision?....I keep checking my profile online and no update

Thanks. I submitted around ending of December last year and I got notified of both via my email. I hardly even check my profile online cos it's always giving me trouble to access it.

iCool:


Congratulations Glowrie22!

Thank you.

Guys. Admission update!

Notre Dame - expecting a turn down according to the admission officer mail. All I can say is that don't apply to Notre Dame. They accept 20 out od the 240 applications.

Best of luck guys

Yeah, I noticed that about the Manhattan verbal texts. Although I have looked at the ETS texts, I am still having problems with answering the questions; identifying the clues and understanding linking words/phrases. I would need to work more on that.
About Magoosh, I had heard good stuff about it. But it's really expensive especially considering the current exchange rate and I cannot afford it. I registered for the free trial valid for 7 days or so that grants one access to 20 video lessons and 20 practise questions and I must say I like the way the questions are arranged in that you can select what topic you want to answer questions in, choose a particular difficulty and time yourself. I have read through this thread though and saw links to download the video lessons and the premium videos. I have gone through some premium videos but they don't give the same benefits as opposed to solving the questions on their site. I will have to make do with it though.
Thanks for your advice, happyday

@ bolded, Why dont you just make use of iekene's free premium account. With a little digging, you'll find his post. If you don't, send me a pm, I'll send you the login details.

please is there any gmat thread on nairaland?

There's one I know; here: https://www.nairaland.com/3690019/official-thread-graduate-management-admission

But it's quiet and I don't think it's what you're looking for. Why not take the GMAT, ace it, with the mind to come and share all you learnt, and then be available to help others? Oga Danjaninja did the same with the GRE thread here. Look where he got us.

Anyone writing toefl tomorrow?.

seeker88, sent you a pm

Hello guys,
Please I understand that Kaplan is quite good for the verbal aspect of GRE (which I'm really really really struggling with).
I wanted to ask if anyone had access to their online materials, and if they could kindly share it with me?
God bless you plenty plenty !

It worked!

Anyone writing the GRE soon and would want to use Magoosh to prep? We could combine resources to get the 6 month premium account. What do you think?

Guys how do I apply for transcript grade to WES economically.

Should I tell WES to send to each of the schools I chose or they should send to me directly.

After which, I send to the school directly.

Is it compulsory I even use WES to convert my GP. Cant I just use my original transcript from Nigeria and UK.

Thanks

WES send transcript to schools directly on your behalf. You cannot do that.

It is not compulsory that you must use WES evaluate your transcript. It depends on the school requirement which you have to check.

Yes you can use your transcripts that your school gave to you for your application to your prospective school. This also depend on the school requirement i.e if that is what they need.
