shayhune: I figured it out through the GPA and course. I did not go to Unilag but I stumbled unto his profile on LinkedIn. Weird. What was his GRE like? And as per those schools rejecting him, it is a function of luck. The guy on NL who got into Princeton did not have 4.9 but his standardized test scores were stellar - 334 (Q168 V166 A5) and 115 (TOEFL). |

Senorita123: Yeah, you need to be able to convince others why you want that degree, or it's going to be a hard sell. So ask yourself, why biz admin; why now? |

tensazangetsu20:Thanks... I studied economics. I had 3.35 in d last 4 semesters |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by tensazangetsu20(m): 11:04pm On Apr 23, 2017 |
Senorita123:And from one of your post i figured you want do a masters in either administration or economics. Well i dont want to discourage you in anyway but lots of people have masters in those field but what will distinguish you is the school you have done it in. You should aim for top 20 business school but those grades will be an albatross around your neck and frankly speaking at your current state it will be almost impossible to get in but all hope is not lost. You can start gaining experience, if you are young keep an eye out for when any of the big 4 auditing firms are recruiting or any other top consulting or accounting firm. Look out for internship or volunteer positions and try to distinguish yourself in every way possible when you are there. After working for 3 years, you should be ready to apply to business school and thats where the GMAT comes in. To get into a top business school you need at least 760 on 800, its very difficult but doable. Business schools are very expensive but try getting in first. There are lots of scholarships available especially for african women but you must work very hard if that is your aim. |

tensazangetsu20:Hope he's proficient in German Language because that's one of the requirements for Engineering MSc program....even for an international prospective student. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by tensazangetsu20(m): 11:32pm On Apr 23, 2017 |
seeker88:He can learn it and it will be an added advantage for him later on but there are few courses though that do not need german proficiency. I would have recommended sweden but the school fees in royal institute of technology and chalmers are very high for international students and i dont know if they offer any scholarships. |

Scholastica16: Seconded @ ....it is a function of luck. I found this in Quora and is related to what you've been saying. " I got accepted by Harvard, MIT and Stanford but was rejected by University of Kansas, how do I get over it? My whole family are University of Kansas alumni, I was hoping to get in. I might have taken the application there less seriously than the others, but I wasn’t expecting to be rejected. I had been lying to my family and friends about being accepted but choosing to go away instead." https://www.quora.com/I-got-accepted-by-Harvard-MIT-and-Stanford-but-was-rejected-by-University-of-Kansas-how-do-I-get-over-it 1 Like |

Hmmm, following all the discussion with one eye. There is a lot going on with these admissions. I am learning a lot and would post my observations later. About the letter of recommendation, I have written one myself and has politely requested from my referee if I can send it to him/her, so it could just be edited and sent to schools from the recommender's e-mail address. Some of those Nigerian letters of recommendation are just bland, that's apart from the fact that most of them don't respond on time. @drhopeful. I know you are joking about test scores in your last post. It is not by test scores ooh. Admission gotten with the test score is the most important thing. I have one reject and I have not heard from the other program (At this point I assume it is a reject). I am trying to put some other applications together. The main problem is that I can't really wait till next fall. But I firmly believe that I would still get this. Nothing good comes easy. 5 Likes |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by aamstih: 4:49am On Apr 25, 2017 |
Hi, If the schools one is applying only states 'official transcripts' and no mention of WES, hope this means transcript sent by one's alma mater and not a transcript evaluated by WES. |

You can ask the school if you can upload unofficial copy, that is the doc from school you have with you. I did that in my case. Ask! aamstih: |
