tensazangetsu20: OU is actually 111 in the US, imagine Sheffield is 91 in the world. Mind you OU is a tier-1 research school. Now use your discretion to judge if Sheffield is better than OU, even Sheffield grads will disagree. World ranking doesn't favour US mid schools. According to National Center for Educational Statistics there are 4,352 degree granting universities in the US. That's too much compared to UK's 154. 1 Like |

tensazangetsu20: Not trying to be controversial. But I just want to state the obvious. Depending on your discipline people in the industry know these schools. Eg If you study engr or an oily course in OU you can compete with anybody from any school in the world in the workplace. In fact in the O and G industry OU is an apotheosis. But then just looking at world ranking, you won't give OU a chance. But like you said, you would rather go to another place. I respect your opinion. |

KeLcHeE: With the right amount of practice you would definitely do better than a 150. That and having a clear head on the test day is all you would need. Your profile is quite strong and with the right GRE scores you would be on course to actualizing your said ambitions. One thing you may put over and above even your standardized test scores will be your communication with potential advisors. If they do not reply (which seems to be the prevalent thing) then you may have to make do. Don't limit your options to just Texas considering your desire for funding sources. There are a lot of Universities with reasonable profiles that more than handle your desired research interest and that should be your focus. Spring is not exactly auspicious for funding opportunities but the professors you may be talking to may let you know more. Either them or the respective grad coordinators of the considered schools. As a result, you may need to take into cognizance the reality that fall might be your best bet. I gleaned your post and may need to read it all over to understand if you are aiming for a PhD or an Msc. A PhD might be your surest bet to obtaining any form of assistantships as most schools reserve their funding for doctoral students. Of course, some Msc applicants have celebrated such feat(s) even on here but they are usually few and far between. Pray; it works. Cheers. 2 Likes |

tensazangetsu20: Kinematicguy is actually right. The ranking of schools on whatever list is skewed and depends on alot of things- one of which is propaganda. I think the rankings may be right to some degree at Undergraduate level, but I am 90% sure it is wrong at higher academic levels. Understanding modules, writing tests and making reports are just a fraction of graduate work and having to compress it into less than 9 months makes the UK system look questionable. There is also a very evident paucity of research culture or environment in their educational system but that may be my bias talking. Also, some schools are ranked lower than others in their entirety but may be stronger in individual or specific programs than others. Let me use Harvard for example, their engineering programs are not vaunted or highly recommended but they would always top most rankings due to their history, endowments as well as the strength of their business and law school programs. So one would not be amiss to opt for a petroleum engineering program in Oklahoma or Tulsa University over Harvard for the reasons above. I ran across a moniker on this platform who had 2330/2400 in his SATs and was offered admission to CALTECH, MIT and Georgia Tech (if I am not mistaken). I believe he attended Loyola Jesuit and got either full-funding or something substantial to attend either of those schools. His parents recommended MIT (Reputation and top ranked at the time) but he disagreed and went to CALTECH. Few years passed and after he had graduated, he came back here to say he had no regrets whatsoever for attending CALTECH and would continue to recommend them over MIT. It sounded incredible at the time, but Sheldon Cooper (Jimmy Parson's character on "The Big Bang Theory" ![]() I am just passing by sha... hope everyone is ok. I am expecting my offer this week unfailingly. 8 Likes |

Scholastica16:Hello if someone have a only c in his Waec result and have a score of 2000/2400 ,what is the probability of obtaining a scholarship in any of the top schools in US or even low ranked school. is the scholarship based on only the Sat or Sat combined with Waec? |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Scholastica16: 2:09pm On May 01, 2017 |
udi2111: I don't know much about this but I guess the strength of the whole application is what determines getting a scholarship. 2000/2400 is a good score and having only one C in the WASSCE is equally stellar. I know you would need to evaluate the WASSCE by WES (which will improve its overall quality points) and with your strong SAT the sky will be the starting point. What I think people need to focus on is applying to the right schools and in that case if you aimed for top 100-200 schools you could get admitted on a full ride as I have heard of people who enjoyed same with lesser profiles than what you have above. |

tensazangetsu20: Quite a brilliant chap I agree. Most of us will give anything to attend MIT but my point is, that one should be more interested in what you would get out of it than just focusing on the name of the school, ranking or reputation. 5 Likes |

tescoman90: Read the passage like it's the most interesting thing you've ever come accross even if it's boring and obscure. Process of Elimination always seems to work best in answering RCs. And make sure you ace the Sentence Equivalence and TCs and answer them as fast as you can to allow yourself more time to tackle the RCs. Goodluck. Let us know how it goes. |
