Bro, you have had a fantastic experience so far. I personally think whatever we do, we should look at what it'd do for us and how we can use it if/when we eventually return back home. The reality of the Nigerian situation as it is today is that everyone else aside Medical Laboratory Scientists are locked out of clinical diagnostic laboratories. Pharmaceutical microbiology on the other hand doesn't sell so well. I have interned in a pharmaceutical firm before and the reality on ground in the quality assurance department is that the ratio of chemical analysts to microbiologist is like 5:1. Some organizations don't even have microbiologists at all. They let the Chemist's, biochemists or pharmacists do the job. In view of this, I'd run from clinical laboratory science. Pharmacology on another hand is a degree that doesn't sell well in this country. The best jobs that most of them do is medical sales representative for pharmaceutical companies. If you want to know what I'd do if I'm in your shoes, I'd go for that degree in biotechnology. I know you'd ask why. It's simply because of its interdisciplinary nature. With biotechnology, you have many options. It's like chemistry. With it, you can decide to delve into renewable energy, environmental engineering, health care, public health, drug development, food science and many more. I think a masters degree in biotechnology would really open your eyes to limitless possibilities. But then, you're the one that know what you want out of life. The decision still rests on your shoulders. In respect of your CGPA, it's below the 3.0 that most American schools want for graduate studies but I have seen people in the last few days who got in to their choice programs with a CGPA as low as 2.71. Their secret; 1. They started their preparation early. 2. They aced GRE and TOEFL. 3. They researched many schools and sent alot of mails enquiring about their chances. 4. They packaged their applications well. 5. They were tenacious in their belief. You can do all these things. It's not always about your grades alone. Your experience can count for alot. Sell yourself well and trust God for the best. I believe that this is not impossible. Good luck with your preparation. md17: 7 Likes |

Hello md17, I have to say I agree totally with dmajor1, however I must warn you I have limited knowledge of your field. In applying or preparing for grad school the key thing is being honest with yourself and believing in yourself at the same time. This helps you strengthen your profile in areas you can and also in putting your best foot forward. While most programs prefer 3.0 GPAs( of 4), it never guarantees admission. My advice: - believe in yourself and trust God - do your research on schools that have your desired program, you can have a spreadsheet for this - ace the gre, toefl - make sure your sop details your research, experiences and skills - Try to get recommenders that can corroborate your research and work experience. No idea what biotech entails (too tired to Google ) but go for a course that has something in tech especially for US schools, or at least good prospects in years to come. Good luck dmajor1: 3 Likes |

ok I am back again and here are my admission decisions( for now) for fall 2018 - University of Texas Austin (msc/Ph.D)- Rejected -Renssaeler Poly (Direct Ph.D)- Accepted but no news on funding yet sha I am still awaiting the rest and may God help us all. 4 Likes |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by paulbets: 11:08am On Mar 28, 2018 |
akatovic1:Admissions are tough these days. Congrats on your Renssaeler Poly Admit, that's a big one... I think you should reach out immediately to the program coordinator and ask. Even reaching out to Faculty can also be helpful. In reaching out, put a phone call across and leave voicemail when they don't answer. Then support it with email. This can go vice versa. How many more are you waiting on? |

Please I have 2 questions here. Is it possible that ETS could schedule Sunday for GRE test because I got june 3 here with me. Second, how can I get the POWERPREP II software. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by MasterforceII: 8:41pm On Mar 28, 2018 |
sammybtc: Yes. It's very possible. Wrote mine on a sunday too. You can access the powerprep software from ETS's website. Alternatively, you can utilize their powerpreponline platform. You will need an internet connection for this though. Also check out manhattan, kaplan and crunchprep free practice tests. Goodluck. |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by mfarad(m): 3:20pm On Mar 29, 2018 |
Amahjosh: Yes Powerprep will do. By diagnostic, I meant any full test that will simulate test day scenario. Download "Yocket" on Playstore/ appstore, input your profile, then search for schools. Decisions are decentralized-numerous factors determine admission/funding. All the best man! cc md17 1 Like |
