Getting that very answer is quite easy with this simple steps:
Introduce yourself. State why you are interested in their lab. Highlight areas of overlap between the science in the faculty member’s lab and research you are conducting, or interested in. Mention papers you have read and what you found interesting about them. Conclude by asking if they are currently taking students and by saying that you would like to discuss the possibility of working in their lab by telephone, skype etc. What next? Some Faculty members may take a long time to reply due to multiple commitments. Follow up with another email after a week elapses. Don't forget to pray knowing everything depends on God.

I think it's important to make distinction between magoosh video lessons and the video solutions. For preparation the video lessons in my opinion are better especially for those who are struggling with creating time for prep plus the video lessons are well structured and thus allow concentration on areas where one might be having difficulties.

That said, I observed that most links posted here stopped working after some time, so I don't know if I should post d link or the PM route is better. The video lessons is around 1.4GB COVERING all sections.

boladealeb@gmail.com thank you

Scholastica16:




I am always encouraged by your posts and I actively seek them out whenever I am on this platform. Thank you very very much.

I really don't know why Michigan left me stuck in limbo as I always assumed funding came automatically with getting accepted. I know better now.

Me quit? Those are 2 words you'd never hear. I only wish I made just 1 MSc application so I would use the PTDF scholarship for it. But any which way, things would get clearer when the list drops officially.

I just know one way or the other, I would find myself in the US partaking in a solid PhD program.

You are very much welcome. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need any help . I wish you all the best! Hopefully, you will get into a top program with the PTDF Scholarship.

Guys, I am about to take Gre exam in three weeks. Can you tell me what I can read or do before that time? Thanks!

Seriously? You mean you've not been preparing? I don't wanna belief so. By now, I expect you to be taking full-length practice tests (Manhattan or Magoosh (paid) or take free Kaplan or CrunchPrep or free Manhattan), reviewing your notes esp Official GRE notes, strategies and vocabularies, and dealing with your weak points, and again also taking the full POWER PREP II.

Good luck!

Please how can someone register for GRE...pls put me through..thanks..

You can just pay yourself with your GTB Mastercard.

GO TO www.ets.org Create account, choose available test day and location, and pay with your Mastercard. Very simple.

I tend to believe private schools are more liberal in accepting students with lower GPAs due to a lower yield while public universities are more competitive due to the lower tuition.
Our trajectories and undergrad history are very similar. I graduated from undergrad with a 2.7 GPA about 8 years ago due to personal problems and lack of focus and ambition during school.

Last application cycle (Fall 2015), I applied to three schools (UPenn, CUNY Hunter, NYU) just to see if I could get into them and what the process entailed. I got into Penn and NYU (though rejected from Hunter) with very little funding ($4-6K) and I decided not to attend since I would be well over $120K in debt with tuition and living expenses. Moreover, at this time, I had my heart set on becoming a clinical social worker. I wasn’t surprised by the Hunter rejection because they receive over 1,000 applications and the tuition is relatively affordable and is well known and respected in the NYC area. Through perusing past topics on this forum, I’ve read similar stories where students are accepted at USC, but rejected at a state school like SFSU or SDSU.

This application cycle, I decided to switch from clinical social work to macro social work and applied to over seven schools and received an acceptance from five (UChicago, Boston College, UW-Seattle, Columbia; all four gave me funding/scholarships ranging from $10-28K, the fifth was a SUNY offering no funding) and one rejection (UMichigan). Ironically, the private schools I applied to will be slightly cheaper than the state school I applied to ($7K/year vs $14K/year) since the private schools offered me a hefty scholarship/funding package. Schools with larger endowments tend to be generous with merit/need based funding.

So it’s definitely possible. I would say the most important thing is to show the committee you are not the result of your low GPA. You can do this in several ways. Firstly, you should mention it in your essay (why, what happened, why it won’t happen again and how you are a capable student). Secondly, make sure your letters of recommendation can attest to your intellectual curiosity and caliber as as student. Thirdly, some argue that taking the GRE can strengthen your application. Again, I think this also varies among schools. At UW-Seattle and UChicago, staff members at the Admissions Office told me taking the GRE wouldn’t benefit me or hurt me in any manner and for me not to waste time and money on it. However, schools like Boston College and Boston University state on their website that taking the GMAT/GRE can strengthen your application if you have a GPA lower than 3.0. I took the GRE and did relativelly well.

I am a PhD Economics Applicant. Please what schools are available for a fully funded scholarship

I have two questions @ op and everyone

1- I have a bsc of 4.6/7 , a 2/1 but low and a master's degree of 5.0/7.0 both in biochemistry, I don't know whether to proceed for another masters , but the point is will I get full funding like other applicants considering my bsc cgpa? Because I was advised to apply for another masters by another agency in US but won't my masters speak against me having one before?

2- I was shortlisted for Express entry in Canada and so instead of writing TOEFL, i planned writing academic IELTS whether I may be considered for using it in the application rather than general IELTS, is this a good step?

Please help out

I intend seeking for PhD admission in mathematics or data sciences in canada,US or Australia.I had a cgpa of 4.5/5.0 in my masters.I would like to know if it is possible to get a fully funded PhD admission without toefl or GRE.Thanks

It's possible to get fully sponsored PhD in US but its highly competitive and GRE is a MUST, yet Toefl/ielts might be waived. GRE is not required in Australia but toefl/ielts depending on school. As per Canada not all schools required both GRE and language test.

But you should have schools in mind that you would like to go and contact professors from your desired program to know about the research they are doing and if you can be part of it.

Plz is there a GRE exam for November? Also is it possible to write the exam in November and still meet up with submission of application before the deadline which is December?

Yes there is at least I know of Abuja. Am also planning on writing GRE in Nov. Actually re-writing

Good you have something, instead of buying Barron on konga, you should have bought ets official guide and they are both 3.5k at yaba. To get Manhattan materials although it's against copyright rules, you can print the pdf copies in any campus, printing rates are low on campus. It won't cost up to 7k for the 8 books and 5lb

Please where in yaba can I get the ETS guide?

sorry I open quite a large no of tabs and its difficult to find. Whenever I come across I would do just that

You can download online if you wish. All the materials I used for my GRE were soft copies and I downloaded freely online.

I advice people writing GRE CBT to prepare using soft materials because you will acclimatize yourself to reading on screen that way and its also part of the preparation.

My 2 cents.

pls my fellow people, I registered for GRE test slated for 1st of October with BY Mafit; pls how do I confirm this registration

They ought to give you log in details for the ETS/GRE account opened for you prior registration. That account is vital as you would need it again and again.

Please in which centre are you writing? I want to register for same date in Abuja. About BY Mafit, I think they are slow but efficient. I was registered TOEFL with them. Disturb them phone calls until they do it. Please house I realized that most US schools give TA only if your TOEFL speaking is at least 25. Am I right
