Although am optimistic, but am also looking at a worst case scenario.What are the pros and cons for getting a loan to study in a school like Stanford. The school has a loan package for international students. What's your view on this? |

I got admission offer from Stevens Institute of Technology, Cleveland State University, Auburn University and Stanford University. No funding available yet from the aforementioned schools. I am still expecting decision from TAMU Coll Station,UC boulder and UT Austin. Are you saying its worth for Stanford University? ponpon: |

tizentos:arrrgh, why didn't you shoot for more PhD ''s, they are literally more funded. It all depends on your goals. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Scholastica16: 10:38pm On Feb 27, 2018 |
Quoran: tizentos: Depends on how you think you would hear from them. TAMU will not alert you via an email. You would have to log back into that portal for uploading documents to check their decision. It is usually uploaded there. 1 Like |

Sure, it depends on my goals, I don't think am ready for the 5- years commitment in a PhD program. I want to test the waters first before deciding if I need to continue for a PhD or just delve into the industry. ponpon: 1 Like |

What do you guys think. I had a modest application list- 3 schools for MS EE. I was a little disappointed in my GRE scores so I felt applying to many schools would not make much difference. I was wrong actually. I was accepted in all but nothing on full funding yet. I have a pending application for a direct phD program, recommendation letters delaying things do you think funding could still come through the PhD route given the time constraints for fall 2018..deadline is May BTW. CSU ft Collins: Accepted Cleveland state Ohio: Accepted Southern Illinois University Edwardsville: Accepted+ (partial funding) UTD - PhD....pending --Application incomplete.

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by tizentos: 3:38pm On Feb 28, 2018 |
Congrat bro, you have a good profile. I'm pretty sure your Phd application will come positive. I also got accepted for Ms in EE at Cleveland State Uni,Ohio. Any news about funding? rasheedtobi: |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Nobody: 4:15pm On Feb 28, 2018 |
tizentos: Nothing o. Like most other schools, they want us there first before providing opportunities for funding. When I contacted them, the response was the general "Funding is provided by the faculty...." sent mails to a few profs.. "but no luck. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by RexCheeng: 5:57pm On Feb 28, 2018 |
rasheedtobi: You have an amazing profile! What's the percentage of tuition covered at SIUE? Hopefully UTD will come through. However, you can also apply to more schools. I was browsing through previous threads recently and I saw this post from a moniker (deWav). Hope it helps someone.

I mailed a prof at Cleveland state University as regards funding, this was his response below.

Then I later replied that I have already been admitted maybe there is something he can do from his end...this was his second response.

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Quoran: 10:52pm On Feb 28, 2018 |
I think you should apply. It is worth the risk. The fact that he even stated that your research interest aligns with his is a good sign. tizentos: 1 Like |

Nice work everyone. I have been following this thread for months now, and I find it very fascinating the value of information on this thread and the unfettered willingness to share information and resolve concerns as it relates to grad school admission. #TeamFall19 Cc: Scholastica16, PonPon, DrHopeful, Quoran, tizentos (Congrats) and to every contributor to this awesome thread ![]() 6 Likes 1 Share |

RexCheeng: The award is for tuition only and it is just over half of the annual tuition. However I still have over 10K USD in a year to pay in health insurance and other fees. Thanks for the list. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Quoran: 7:30am On Mar 01, 2018 |
Okay, just contact the graduate admissions office and explain everything to them. I also think you need to act fast because I know the deadline in order to be considered for funding has passed. tizentos: |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by jelmusboy(m): 9:06am On Mar 01, 2018 |
I contacted the Head of Department of the program I intend to apply concerning funding and below is the response I got from him Dear XX, Yes, international students are eligible for assistantships. However, an important caveat is that the Biology Department does not award graduate teaching assistantships to international students in their first semester in the Biology MS program. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, we want students to have experience in a U.S. classroom before they teach a lab section. Second, before the university allows international students to work as graduate teaching assistants, the student must pass a test of spoken English that is administered on-campus. I know that you have a lot of your education in England, but I expect that this requirement would still apply. International students usually do not arrive until shortly before the start of the semester and we cannot hold a GTA position that long because if the student does not pass the test then we do not have time to find a replacement teacher. Most students pass this test in their first semester and then are eligible for graduate teaching assistantships in their second semester and thereafter. The Biology Department does not administer graduate research assistantships, but individual professors may have grant funding that would support a GRA position. Here again though, most professors will not offer a GRA position until they have met and interacted with a student. So, the first semester in the MS program can be challenging for international students because financial support is scarce. However, the opportunities for funding are much greater after the first semester. What do you guys suggest and application will close today? |

Good day house, I recently started following this forum and appreciate the idea and sense of altruism in this group. I also have an inquiry: I graduated with a First Class Geology and Mining (GPA 4.59/5.00) and intend to write my GRE at most in two-months time. I have been practicing for the GRE General exam for about 15 days and had an average score of 150 verbal, 156 quantitative (totalling about 306). I know I can make improvements (my goal is at least 320). I intend to obtain my MSc in Petroleum Geoscience in the US, but lately I realised full funding through GA or TA is more feasible in a PhD program. My question is "Is it advisable to make applications for PhD directly, since I have heard cases of individuals going straight from a BSc to PhD? " Thanks in anticipation!!! |

Yes I will advise you mix your applications. Some for MS,some for PhD. I assume you're targeting Spring and Fall 2019, so you have time to do extensive research on the schools you want to apply to.Mail alot of Professors and from their responses, you will be able to conclude on the nature of funding available in their schools.I wish you all the best in your GRE.Cheers.

How do you guys see/access this school,Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute ? Seen alot about the school on Quora (Rankings and all) though I don't like the name of the school lol. I only applied because of the fee application waiver. I have been admitted but no funding ,at least for now. Scholastica16 |
