Like I said earlier, I’d say again; apply to the best school your profile can afford. A lot of people here have modest profiles. >300 in GRE, 4.0 GPA, yet they’d apply to schools that are not even ranked. I never said everyone should apply to Harvard or Stanford or MIT. I remember saying the minimum threshold should be the top 1000 in the world. Why would you carry your hard earned money and go to a school that has no ranking ![]() ALL I’M SAYING IS STOP SETTLING FOR MEDIOCRITY. Yes, University of Ibadan is well ranked than some of the schools that have been mentioned here. People are blinded by the fact that it’s USA. Wake up, not all schools in the USA are worth it. Do your research and aviloid mediocrity. Cheers seeker88: 4 Likes 1 Share |

hilaryxoxo:Well articulated. You are kinda nice though. IF you have a GOOD profile, anything below 200 DON'T apply. #FightMediocrity. Your school matters, Your course matters too |

Just so we are all on the same page. Check this ranking https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2018/world-ranking#!/page/0/length/25/name/Ibadan/sort_by/rank/sort_order/asc/cols/stats University of Ibadan is between 800th - 1000th. But there are tons of schools that have been mentioned on this thread that aren’t even on the list! In other words, based on the ranking, University of Ibadan is technically better than those schools. You now wake up one day and want to go and spend money in a school that would technically not add any value to you ![]() You can even learn certain skill set online for FREE. You can learn python on Data Camp or Edx. Infact, many of the programs on Edx were put together by elite organizations like Microsoft, World Bank and Harvard. That money, you can go on AliExpress and start a business or learning a vocation. WAKE UP All that glitters is not gold. It’s not all about just leaving Nigeria for leaving Nigeria sake. It’s about rebranding yourself. It’s about building your profile. It’s about positioning yourself for better opportunities and promotions. DONT SETTLE FOR LESS. “Mediocrity will never do, you’re capable of better things” 1 Like |

Thank you oh. Personally, I won’t even do outside #100 #FightMediocrity Yes the course matters too. A lot of people here jump at courses that aren’t even marketable. If someone should talk now, they won’t let the person rest. It’s so painful because nairaland is very popular. Newbies can come here and just jump at some of the “schools” they see “flying around” Postfut: 1 Like 1 Share |

Whether low or high ranked school........... most people just want to use the students root to escape this shitlole country, while the degree comes in handy, and if H1b is not forthcoming with the degree obtained in this low ranked schools, they just marry a citizen or find a way to regularise their stay. Hell is full, Nigeria is an extension site. But I am an advocate of Good schools and marketable course 5 Likes |

The reason why many of us pursue graduate school is very different. Some is to get an MSc just for the heck of it, Some for the job prospect, some for immigration, some for personal development, some for the experience. 2 Likes |

hilaryxoxo: I was actually generous with 200 lol. In fact, if you are enrolling for the so called "non-marketable courses," the more reason to attend a top school. At least, a top school can offset such circumstance. |
