Scholastica16: First, congrats on your Michigan State acceptance. Well deserved and I'm positive funding info will be sent soon. Admissions get increasingly more competitive each year (I heard) and I think any negative feedback reflects more on the quality of applicants than on your abilities. Hopefully, your final schools will come through also. Your contingency plans (hopefully not needed) also sound very solid. Yes, I got my visa... All in all, congrats and wish you all the best. You have been quite inspirational here!!! |

It's glad to have you back Scholastica16... All will definitely end in praise |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by hirschfelder: 3:06pm On Jul 25, 2017 |
Scholastica16: Lmao, I wish. Still heading to Kansas. I was outrightly rejected or waitlisted then ultimately rejected from the other schools (Upenn, UVa, Notre Dame, Rensselear and Utah). So, yeah mixed application season! Good luck to those waiting for positive news!!! |

Scholastica: I see you are eager to get into a fully funded PhD program. If you don't mind; would you be willing to tell which program it is? Is it Petroleum Engineering? |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Jamaticulus(m): 4:57pm On Jul 25, 2017 |
Here's my profile: Undergraduate GPA: (Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, from Nigeria uni, ) 3.85/4 TOEFL: Planning to write GRE: Looking to write by October.. haven't registered yet....looking to ace 320 or more Publication: One in an international journal, two others are under review Conference Proceedings: 1 with a presentation at same conference. Target Schools: University of Maryland, Texas state University, University of Illinois, Northwestern University and Drexel University (No categorisation, since safe schools are no longer safe) Still searching for others (applying to few schools due to financial constraints, after all it's only one admit one needs ) Make una elders help me review this oh. You can also recommend schools to me I wanna apply straight to PhD with full funding. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by MrChillz(m): 5:49pm On Jul 25, 2017 |
Jamaticulus: Excellent profile. Just do well on your tests and you should be fine. Also try to make sure your SOP and LOR are as strong as other aspects of your application. Wish you the best |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by MrChillz(m): 5:50pm On Jul 25, 2017 |
Jamaticulus: No serious consequences. It's advisable to do so in other to eliminate possible errors or mistakes in your bio data. |

hirschfelder: They missed out. It appears South Carolina and Auburn would have taken you had you applied there. A friend of mine got fully funded by the latter and his profile is slightly less than yours. All the same, you are in a great program and I am happy to know you bounced me from it. Good looking out. Cheers. 1 Like |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Scholastica16: 6:40pm On Jul 25, 2017 |
OjaP: Yes I am sir. I vied for a chemical engineering PhD but the snag is, I did so without having an MSc already and my GPA is not in the >4.5 category. I don't know how much the latter matters but I guess already having an MSc helps those of us who got our first degrees from Nigerian schools. It seems to be the trend. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Scholastica16: 6:54pm On Jul 25, 2017 |
Jamaticulus: Your profile is (VERY) good. I would only advice you wrote the GRE earlier than Oct (say September) just so you can put forward your applications in Oct or latest, the month after. Early applications are given priority for admission and funding in many schools. Your WES will be above 3.7/4 by my rough estimation. Also, your school choices are not bad but try to study admission results on grad cafe to see reports of people issued Direct PhDs with funding, date the admission was offered and in some ways profiles. It will help in directing you to schools that would readily fund you and how early you would hear from them. For e.g, if I knew this tidbit when I was putting forward my applications, I would have known to expect a school like Mississippi State Uni to respond in July for engineering PhD applicants. They did exactly this 2016 and 2015....I am sure even 2012. The point is, they would not change their trend for you or anyone. Same goes WRT funding. To that end, Auburn responded in April and funded almost all the reports on grad cafe. Their profiles were not better than what you have above. In fact, my friend that got into the Civil Engineering PhD fully funded had 4.55/5 GPA, 320 GRE 4 AWA and 99 TOEFL which you could easily mirror or eclipse. So you may want to check when the schools you have above responded to applicants and how readily they funded them. You may also want to know if contacting POIs is more important than scoring 320+ in your GRE. 1 Like |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Scholastica16: 6:58pm On Jul 25, 2017 |
Jamaticulus: The thing is, you may want to opt for the ETS package where they get to make your profile available to schools who could try to recruit you directly. Also, sometimes B.Y MAFIT are known to mess people's passwords up which could be frustrating for you if you want to make any actions on your profile by yourself. So it is more like a safety measure against untoward and unforeseen circumstances. |
