Walspring:


If your cash is more than $10,000 that is &10,001 you will have to declare it before boarding and there is no crime in declaring your cash as long as it's meant for a genuine purpose

Fantastic! Thanks.

My Oga na preparation tins. Work no allow her prepare well . If u suggest a tutorial center I go dey happy. Thanks for your comment bro

I completely understand, with her GPA I believe she can make a better score with more preparation. Work, family, church activities (if she's a Christian), lack of good preparation materials because they cost good are not just available, high cost and snail speed data, PHCN - no power on laptop to read or practice tests, noise from neighbour - worst if your neighbours are CAC churches with services 24/7 or Redeem using public address systems (loud speakers) for night vigils, the list is endless.
What I will suggest however is for her to come to this thread and read from people's experiences. A good place to start is https://www.nairaland.com/1832477/how-achieve-high-scores-gre/249#1832477.7983

seeker88:


GRE scores are dependent on the amount of preparation channelled into it and not directly proportional to one's CGPA. So it's definitely not a disgrace, perhaps, she didn't prepare well before taking d test.
Haven't u seen First Class student performing bad on d GRE?

I don't question her abilities. Her score could be low for many reasons, that doesn't mean she can't do better next time. The gentleman came for opinion and I offered my honest opinion, that the score cannot fly. She already scaled the first hurdle, a good GPA. Why not encourage her to scale the GRE hurdle too? When I said "disgrace", I meant that the GRE score is embarrassing to that GPA.

Kagame:


This is false and misleading. I know people with less than stellar profiles (GRE and CGPA) who got full funding. If she can rewrite the GRE,it increases her chances, at least with top schools,but even with her current profile,a lot of schools can still offer her full funded admission.

It's left for her to aim higher or settle for less.

Misleading? You are the one misleading here. The bolded for one is a lie from the pit of hell. Stop the reference to fictitious people. From part 1 to part 11 of this thread, thousands of posts, no one ever claimed to receive full funding with that score. Please don't stand in the way of others success. She clearly has the ability to do better, encourage her to do so otherwise she will be here this time next year lamenting on securing admissions without funding.

sassy92:
Good day everyone I've been following this thread and it's quite informative. Please I have a few questions:
- I wish to apply for a Masters by Fall 2018. I've started preparing for GRE. Please where do I register and write here in Nigeria? I need contact details of genuine centers coz I've heard scam stories?
- do I write TOEFL or IELTS? Which is preferable?
- I want to do a Masters by Research in a Canadian university so that I can proceed to PhD afterwards. Most schools insist that one secures a research supervisor from the school before granting admission. Please anyone with experience should put me through to how to go about it. Thanks!

There are many reputable educational outfits that you can register. I will advise you to take TOEFL for its objectivity. IELTS is subjective esp the Speaking. Are you referring to PhD supervision or Masters? You don't need any supervisor ahead of your Master only PhD.

GRE is not a function of your GPA, its your preparation and God entirely. She can get funding and TA, with that score I got TA and tution waiver with that score, lets not be too harsh. If she can write again it is very good. i couldn't do that because of my job and all.

Thanks jare madam; I didn't have up to that CGPA and my GRE was 299 but got TA and tuition waiver in 2015. It depends on so many things. It's a holistic thing. However, a good GRE score can put you in good stead.

Good morning all, Please how can one make payment for sevis fee in Nigeria?

Search Nairaland for TOSJAMES or OLUDARE01. They both help with that. I was helped by TOSJAMES.

I also saw WALSPRING saying he can help too.

abnice2004:
Good morning to everyone in the house. Base on what I have always been reading here about writing GRE to get scholarship, I encouraged my sis to write it and she got 294 and she has 4.22 Cgpa over 5. Pls What are the chances of her getting a full scholarship with this profile? Which school can she apply to in order to get full scholarship? Should she rewrite the GRE? She is preparing for next year fall. Thank you.

To add to what others have said, Let her re-write GRE. Its not just about getting full funding in anyhow school just to leave Nigeria, its more than full funding.Forget the notion we used to have that once you leave Nigeria, you have made it. The difference is just that, with hard work and God's grace; one can make it in the western world. She needs to think about life after school, what next? There are some schools you will attend and you don't have put in too much work to get a job while some, you will have to hustle your way there. Life after school is the real deal. With that her CGPA, she isn't dull, she can ace the GRE with proper preparation. With a GRE of >310 and that cgpa, coupled with good LOR,SOP, she can apply to any school except the IVY leagues (Even at that, she can still dream. A man that has no dream is a dead man).

very funny. It shows how flexible and easy accessing an information can be.

Oga, read my earlier post. I said "Her only bet are schools that do not accept GRE". And clearly
Kean University does not. So with 0 GRE masquellet would still gain admission and funding perhaps. Let's call a spade a spade, enough of this unnecessary debate, 291 will never ever secure full funding in a school that requires GRE.
