h.
How do I get this please

Send a PM(personal message) to the moniker "ponpon" or Google "GRE BY MAFIT".
I am sorry if this sounds harsh but Please no one owe you a response.

You need to read through the thread, all the resources you need to ace the GRE is on this thread. If you have written GRE before, how did you register then? It might be too late for you to apply for Fall. I'd you are in Lagos, you should consider BY MAFIT free tutorials. You will need a lot of patience in this Journey.

STENON:
Thank you so much for your response and my sincere apology for just responding to your post. Goodmorning and how have you been sir? I am very grateful for the clarification concerning funding sir. After replying the emeritus of my willingless to accept the lab instructor position, He later requested for my CV and transcripts and I forwarded to him. Just few minutes ago, He asked me to submit my application ASAP so as to get my visa before resumption date. He also asked me to send a mail to another Prof. that I am the same Person as Stella I. on my transcript against Stella A. that is on my email address. He mentioned that he recommended Stella A. for graduate school before seeing Stella I. on my transcript. Finally, He said I should be ready for skype interview anytime soon. I am scared of what to expect during skype interview because I have never done such before.

Nothing to fear my lady. He has already recommended you for admission and has some stakes in ensuring that you are legit. He just wants to chat with and get to know you. You should familiar with your previous courses and thesis. What your Career aspirations are. Learn
a little about his own work too and ask him about it. Just approach it as if talking to a senior colleague about your past education and future goals. I really don't have time to go into details. I am sure Quoran post will be more detailed and helpful. Cheers

I am quite busy and can't always reply promptly. Read through the thread and you will find excellent school recommendations that have been applied to by others on this forum. However, most of the research and choice of schools is up to you because you are the one that know the most important criteria to you. I can suggest you look at:
1. University of Texas, Austin
2. University of Washington, Seattle
3. Duke University
4. University of Pennsylvania,
Those will be your reach schools

1. Texas A&M College station
2. University of Arizona
3. Iowa state University
4. University of Kentucky
5. University of Texas Dallas
6. University of Missouri
7. Florida state university

In addition, I think you should not limit yourself to only Statistics, but also look at Mathematics programs. Also, you might want to apply for PhD programs as the opportunity for funding is more. Your GRE is also a bit low considering your GPA and field (especially the Quant) , while I have no doubt you can get an offer with it, I believe a score of 160+ in Quant is attainable by you and it will boost your chances. You can do better than Central Michigan University.

Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate.

Thank you so much sir. I have read Quoran post also and I am doing follow up with it. The emeritus sent me a link to his research work to go through his previous work and I am taking my time to read through it. I am just having fear of the unkown, infact I have done google search to check the Physical appearance of the Prof. My undergraduate research work was in Education and his own is pure Physics.

You are the first person I am recommending this list to on NL. I stumbled on it online and from it I drew 3 of the schools I applied to. It's basically for maths and Statistics students

bro, my brother had a 3rd class in maths education. He then put in for BSc Economics at distance learning university of Ibadan where he had 4.4/7. He is trying to study curriculum and teaching with tech education. Which transcript should he submit or should he submit both

Quoran:
Polytechnics do not award graduate degrees.

Hello Stenon!

I am doing just fine. Thank you.
This is great news! Just submit your application as requested by the emeritus.
As for the Skype interview, I will advise you go through your basic undergraduate physics. It is nothing to be scared about. Just look at it as a chat. He will not ask you cumbersome questions.The last time I had a Skype interview with a faculty, I was asked basic questions such as Newton's laws of motion, What are electromagnetic waves, what kind of practicals did you conduct as an undergraduate student etc. I will advice you go through his research and understand the basic principles of physics behind them. For instance, if his research centers on materials physics, you should know stuffs like Bragg's law, (conductors, semiconductors and insulators), defects in materials, miller indices and all that stuff. Don't dwell too much on his papers because you will probably not understand his work. Just get an idea of his research focus and nail that interview.

Regards!

The summary of this post (TLTR)
WES CGPA: 3.45
GRE: 320, 163Q
TOEFL: 107
TA for 6 months.

Schools applied to:
University of Nebraska (MSc)- Reject
Miami University, Ohio (MSc)- Admitted without funding
University of Tennessee, Knoxville (PhD)- Rejected
University of New Haven (MSc)- Accepted with TA position

Full Gist ( Because I enjoyed reading the gist of people like DrHopeful, SirRiddy, MsNas, BigFrancis21, sureb0y, etc.)

I began my grad school journey in 2016, researching schools on thegradcafe.com and MSinUS group on Facebook. My good man, MasterforceII, pointed me in the direction of Nairaland where I met our very own guru, SirRiddy, and bombarded him with questions like "What is the difference between Spring and Fall?"

Fast forward to November 2017, I completed my applications and waited on my professors to help out with LORs. December came and most apps were not complete just because of LOR. I had to eventually use a GA in my school and my employer at work. I actually started about 6 applications during this time but due to obligations at work and some other factors, I couldn't complete it.

In the course of writing my SOPs and CV, I reached out to a host of people on LinkedIn who were all too happy to help. I also contacted our very own happyday here and he gladly helped me vet it. I was so proud of the product and I was certain, to a large extent, that I would snatch a fully funded offer from all the schools I applied to and that my problem would be which to choose. Lol. I remember seeing other schools I could've applied to like UArk, UC Denver, Uni of Utah, All the schools in Dakota, etc. but they either required WES or official transcripts. Before I forget, I also began an application to Georgia Southern Uni but they required an evaluated transcript

Middle of February, I received a reject from Nebraska, and then it dawned on me that I was really just an average Joe. I was competing against geniuses from the USA, China, India, Pakistan, and Nigeria, and this realization just weakened me. Crestfallen didn't do justice to my plight, but I promised to move on. I was to choose between writing GRE again while gaining experience as a researcher here in Nigeria to improve my profile or apply to more schools and hope to cop half funding from any school in particular.

I strengthened my resolve and concluded that there was no assurance of a drastic GRE increase because of time, my place of work is in shambles and definitely, research was all about recycling papers and submitting to new journals.

Early March, I stumbled upon someone's transcript on the USA thread. We had a similar profile and he got a scholarship to University of New Haven. We spoke and I realized that it was just a 50% tuition waiver. I was desperate, I was going to source the rest, let them just give me admission.

Late March, Received admission and 50% funding as expected. I was a bit relieved and then I remembered my initial resolve, "no full funding, no traveling." Low-key, I was still hopeful that Tennessee or Miami would eventually come through.


Early April, Miami came through. Admission, no funding. The prof I maintained correspondence with said he'll accept me but I would need to fund myself. LOL.
I began to assess my chances with Tennessee and I saw that I was hanging on a thread abi rope, abeg, how them dey talk am. I met another UNH hopeful who was stoked to hear my profile. He also got 50% scholarship and felt I deserved more than that. He told me I should press for the Provost's scholarship and I did.
I sent a long mail to the department, expressing my inability to fund my studies and my wealth of experience as a TA. Few days later, my friend (he also requested) and I (along with two other people who we didn't know) were asked to be interviewed for the scholarship via skype.

Two days ago, I got the offer. Unfortunately my friend didn't.

I'm extremely grateful for the guys on this thread, reading stories like this way back then used to keep me awake till 2am while I was prepping for GRE. I'm extremely excited for everyone here also. Quoran, you're a legend, sir! Tizentos, Yildiz, smallsuper, Ridsan, tescoman, Temmitarts, everyone!
Scholastica16, I can't express the joy I felt in my heart every time you joined your faith with mine. God bless you!
P.S: Your rejoinders on the USA thread about MBA or no MBA made me laugh my head off! I itch for your Quora, Twitter, Medium, or any other account detail where you share your views. I'll send a PM.

#Fall2018 has been tortuous, a hell of a ride, but worth it still.
The knowledge that this is the beginning is quite funny. Internships, OPTs, H1-B, PhD. More rejections will come, but above all, we shall rise!

I will end with a famous quote which I do not know verbatim and will not check Google for, "Any fool can learn from his mistakes, it takes a wise man to learn from that of others."

Big thanks bro for the insight

Quoran:
Please do your research well. Michigan tech and Washington state are not straight forward in terms of funding. WSU usually require their engineering students resume first before they can be funded via TA. I got an RA after a long e-mail correspondence. I had to decline the offer for a better one.
Michigan Tech is a stingy school. You can apply if their application is still free. You can also apply to George Washington University. They waived their application fee for some of us who attended their webinar in December. They usually require some form of programming skills for engineering students. Focus on getting a good GRE Quant score and you will be admitted. They have scholarship for masters degree students and funding for PhD students too.

TAMUC is a good choice. I think they fund almost everyone admitted. I don't know about civil engineering but For Mechanical Engineering, those of us who have been admitted were funded.

Make sure you contact the departments/schools about funding. Many don't fund as they claim. By the way, funding is becoming hard to get. The more schools you apply to, the better your chances. Cheers
