benugo: Worry about getting into a good PhD program. The fee waiver and GA part would sort itself out. Your GPA's ok. Get a list of schools you would like to attend, and you can then ask people here to critique for you. |

segunojo866: The good news is, if you could get into a top college, you'd not need to worry about the interview. Especially with funding. |

This is not personal details.... Any interested candidate can apply for PhD to this particular department Thank you for your interest in my lab and the graduate school at the University of Virginia (UVA). I do not accept Masters students into my lab, but please keep reading if our PhD program might interest you. To enter a PhD program here, you must apply to UVA and be accepted. Individual labs cannot make arrangements on their own to accept students, but I would be happy to consider having you as a PhD student if you eventually enroll here. Please look at the following 2 web pages, which will introduce you to the programs we offer, and explain how to apply. http://www.medicine.virginia.edu/education/phd/biomedical-sciences-graduate-studies http://bio.as.virginia.edu/graduate Best regards, George Bloom George S.

Senate111: With a first class degree, these schools are beneath your profile. Can your work on your GRE to be 320? You need to target the first 50 universities in US. Otherwise you need to go for national ranking schools not the regional universities you have up here |

Senate111:Please just like mayflow said, go and re-write GRE, don't waste your effort, energy and GPA on just those schools alone. Apply to highly ranked schools in the top 50 of your program,be ambitious and don't think lowly of yourself. Even though you might still need to apply to one or two save schools. 1 Like |

Hello House. Please i want to ask a question that has been bodering me. Do I have to book a round trip ticket as a student?. Thank you |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 11 by Nobody: 7:27pm On May 20, 2017 |
ajibayo4:No if your program will last more than a year. One way is fine |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 11 by happyday: 7:38pm On May 20, 2017 |
Senate111: Some schools are very strict on ONLY FALL intake. You'll need to check with each school. If you're getting sponsored, you need to be sure you're getting real value for your money. This means, you'll want to go to a decently-ranked school. And if you want funding, top schools are also your best bet. According to this list, https://ideas.repec.org/top/top.agecon.html, the top 5 AEC departments are UC Berkeley, Cornell, Iowa State and U Maryland. Either way, you need to work on your profile. Your GPA is set, you can't do anything about it. If you didn't do research during the NYSC, it doesn't count for much. Your work experience lacks context. There's no way to compare where you currently work with established companies. Which leaves you with two things to handle very well. Your Statement of Purpose and GRE. You can't spend a week on your SoP and expect to kick ass with it. Except you're a really good writer, your best bet is to find rock-solid ones online, think long and hard on how to convey your life's experience, and future goals, and write accordingly. It's a big bonus if you can get good LORs. If you can, retake the GRE, the higher you score, the better. Apply to 2 schools from those 5 above, one from 11 - 15, another one from 18 - 26. Adjust to your taste and pocket. All the best! 4 Likes |
