rasheedtobi: I am very well and happy for you. As for Cleveland State, most of the people who got funded for MSc resumed there first before they got it. That could be your last resort if no one else funds you before you enter the USA. Why is your UTD app incomplete and how can you complete it readily? |

Quoran: RPI is a top school in the USA for engineering. Forget the Polytechnique part of their nomenclature (it started out as a skill-imbibing institute but is a research power house today). They are top 10 for Civil, Mech and EE in the USA. If their research interest matches yours, grab the offer with both hands and a leg. Some people have taken RPI over MIT. I kid you not. 1 Like |

Boss, please can you link us to those people that got funding when they got there. Moreover,I believe we have to send proof of fund to them for our i-20. We need to know how they went about it. Thanks for the assistance Scholastica16: |

rasheedtobi: I can totally relate with this. I had to forego some apps because my recommenders didn't turn in their LORs. In fact, for my completed app, it took well over a month before some submitted. As has been advised by some sages years back, you should try meeting them (armed with a working internet, laptop as well as an LOR draft). All the best! #teamfall2018 1 Like |

Hello House, Please I am planning to take the GRE in a few months. I need the Magoosh premium access to practice with. I will be really happy if anyone is willing to share. Thanks in advance �� |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by ponpon(m): 7:03pm On Mar 02, 2018 |
Join the what's app grouop, couple of people can share theirs, but you need to MASTER the official test materials before you kick start so you don't dwell on extraneous things, bolster quant with manhattan 1-6, nova and get tricks from 5lb and 1014. Verbal is strictly ets in my opinion, RC 99 is good for RC, Magoosh did a decent job,learn the words on manhattan 5lb SE and Barron 6 tests did a decent job on their verbal questions. In summary start before you get magoosh Maverick18: 1 Like 1 Share |

Hi everyone, I am new here and I've gone through some of the experiences shared here and I'm well pleased. I have found clues on the right materials to practice with. However, I have questions I'd love you guys to help me with. I am a polytechnic graduate with GPA (3.43/4.00) and (3.10/4.00) ND and HND respectively from Electrical engineering department. I recently send my transcript to WES and it's under valuation as I speak. I'm also preparing for GRE and my exam date is 10th of April. I am currently looking into Florida State university where I could apply for MSc or PhD directly. I'd therefore like to know if my HND wouldn't be a constraint, is there anyone in the house who'd been given admission as a polytechnic graduate and can help me with relevant information? If it is possible, I want to know the kinds of schools I should be looking to, schools with application waiver, and finally I need someone to give me clues on how to write a fascinating SOP. I also need someone who stays around Alakuko area in Lagos whom I could practice with. Thanks in anticipation for your kind reply 1 Like |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Sherlock5577: 2:12pm On Mar 04, 2018 |
Pampaya009:You're welcome here. You'll get invaluable info online, but a few of the basic things I believe your SOP should contain include: 1. Why you intend to study a particular field of study, your inspiration and future aspirations with the acquired degree/qualification. 2. Why you've chosen that institution and location (particular state in that country). You'll need to make adequate research on the school's website for this. 3. What qualities or qualifications and experiences you've acquired that will be beneficial to you studying such a course. 4. A brief explanation of your plans during your studies such a active participation in association/society meetings, specifics research interests. But as I said you'll get more info online. Also, have experienced people review your SOP, for constructive criticism. SOP's I believe should be captivating to its reader. Just giving my two cents and would love to hear other opinions too, since I'm also learning!!! 2 Likes |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by frostsc: 8:07pm On Mar 04, 2018 |
Sincerely, many schools frown at an HND. I can't remember but I think I have made a post about this somewhere on this thread. There are schools out there though that may take you. It's a smart move that you have opted to have your transcripts evaluated. You would need to see the comment when they are done if they would say it is equivalent to a US Bachelors degree. If that is the verdict, then you are good to go. With regards to the SOP, I made a post as well on how to write a great SOP. On your SOP, you may want to follow this format. It's just a suggestion and not cast in stone. Paragraph 1. Talk about the fact that you want to apply to the school and state the course you wish to apply for. Make it short and simple. E.g Given my passion for solving analytical problems, I wish to apply for a masters program in Mathematics in your institution in order to blah blah blah and I believe I would excel in this program as I have the blah blah blah cos of blah blah blah... You get the idea. Paragraph 2. Talk about your background in this field. How you first developed interest. Childhood experiences, tasks you performed that opened your eyes to the course, awards while growing up and round it off with how all that culminates to what you studied and what you hope to study given that background Paragrahp 3. Talk about your professional skills. Work experience, research topics, interests and so on. This should something related to your course. Paragraph 4. Talk about your personality and personal qualities you have that makes you stand out and how that would influence your graduate program and your research interest. Paragraph 5. Elaborate extensively on what you hope to do with your degree when you are done Paragraph 6. Conclude. Keep it short and simple. Something like... I hope to be given the opportunity to flex on campus and marry a white chic. Lol. Do that at your own detriment. Okay... More like I hope to be given the opportunity to study and achieve and blah blah. Swell their head here. There is goes. That was what worked for me. I got full funding applying these strategies. With regards to meeting people, are you attending classes at B.Y Mafit? Pampaya009: 8 Likes |

You need to be careful with loans. During my personal research I saw some. I think for them to give you this, you need a co-signer who is a resident. I know some people take loans though and they keep paying until they die and their children continue the Payment. ![]() ![]() ![]() Some are Good, some are traps. You'll need to see the blueprints. tizentos: |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by frostsc: 8:23pm On Mar 04, 2018 |
The decision could still come through. It's not too late as it could come when the admission letter arrives. That being said, you may want to consider the option of student loans to offset the balance for the partial scholarship you were given, if the balance you are to pay is not that much. Despite the fact that I got full funding, I still applied for a little loan. Sounds crazy but from experience and due consultation, it pays to have something on the side. Some crazy bills crop up that the school will not cater for. And if there is no GA that brings in stipends or if it's not enough, one could run into trouble midway. Of course we all know studying abroad ain't easy. Goes way beyond the lights and meeting friends on campus. I decided to defer my entry not because I couldn't get a ticket and hop on a plane but because I know the importance of saving for the rainy day. I'm sorry I went beyond what you asked but I feel it's an opportunity for people to know... It won't be easy at first but if you stick to it, it will get easy. I'm sure my boss scholastica16 who mentored me would attest to this. rasheedtobi: |

I have come across Rensselaer before. Considered applying to the school but applied the brakes cos of this scenario. What's the essence of travelling all the way from Ghana to Nigeria to attend Moshood Abiola Polytechnic when I can easily apply to University of Lagos? ![]() ![]() I'm sorry if you attended MAPoly.
