ASK YOURSELF ONE SIMPLE QUESTION; Why do I want this masters in this University in this Country?! I have been a silent observer of this thread and I’m not happy with a lot of things I’ve been seeing. Lots of people are plying into these “dead” schools thinking they can “finally leave Nigeria” and “finally achieve their dreams”. No boss, think again. The only reason why people should consider an MSc is simple; to get access to a network from that masters for what ever reason it is that you want. For instance, if you’re working and you want to change your industry, or if you want to change geography (e.g. Nigeria to Canada), then a “good” MSc is perfect for that because you’d get access to a career center and the “access” that’ll give you that platform to achieve the desired career or geographical change you’re looking for. So at the end of the day, we should ask ourselves, why do I want this masters sef ? For me personally, I am pursuing a masters because I want more global exposure and I want a change geographically. There are other options I can take to getting what I want obviously. I can decide to stay in Nigeria and finish my professional qualification, then do an MBA and leave. But I want to leave as soon as possible so an MSc is a better option for me. If someone wants to work in Nigeria and is finding it hard in getting a job, don’t think a masters abroad would solve that problem automatically. You need networks (which you can find for free on LinkedIn), you need trainings (e.g. industry certifications like ICAN or ACCA). You can even decide to apply to Edubridge. Edubridge trains undergraduates and graduates for investment banking and consulting jobs. They bring in a lot of industry leaders and you can use that platform to network to get a job. You can also use the brand “Edubridge” to secure a couple of interviews If someone comes to tell me that they want to do their masters in Nigeria, CU for instance, for the sake of being more employable, I’d advise them to print their CV and go from company to company, code email and interact with people on LinkedIn, enroll in Edubridge and get reputable industry certifications that'll make them more attractive. Something would surely click, rather than going to spend c. 1 million naira in a school that won’t even give you any “access” to Broad Street or Adeola Odeku, where all the financial companies are, or Ikeja, the hub of technology in Nigeria. Unilag is even better in terms of “access” to Broad Street or Adeola Odeku because they have a very strong alumni presence in that area. (Please note: I am not endorsing an MSc in Unilag) If you fall among the category of people that want to use an MSc for the *sole* purpose of making your cv more “ghen-ghen”, then you should reconsider it. For instance, If you work in McKinsey, you already have like 95/100 points in terms of CV ghenghen-ness, and there’s no point in leaving your job to do a masters that’ll only increase your CV ghenghen-ness from the 95 it currently is in to a 98 (it can never be greater than 100). Besides, only a few schools can do that, think HBS and Warton. If you fall among the category of people whose main purpose for a masters is for employability in Nigeria, all you have to do is to find out what your employer is looking for. More often than not, it’s not an international masters they’re looking for. Many of them are looking for experience, many of them are looking for industry certifications. That international masters may not necessarily give you the network to securing a job in your home country. LinkedIn is waay better for that and very much more cost effective. If you fall among the category of people that want to use an MSc to re-brand themselves. Maybe you didn’t do too well in Undergrad, or you went to a very dead Nigerian University. An MSc is great for that, however, APPLY TO THE BEST SCHOOL YOUR PROFILE CAN AFFORD! Don’t you want the best for yourself? Last but definitely not the least, If you fall among the category of people that want to use an MSc to run away, say you wan marry and get citizenship, then your case is special. If youre using a “dead school”, good luck with creating a compelling story that you can sell to the VO’s. You think those guys be mumu? Many people here are looking for shortcuts, you don’t want to write GRE and TOEFL but you want to get admitted with full funding and you also want to secure a mad job upon graduation? Bros how far na? You no hustle but you won chop fufu?. If your input is mediocrity, your output will surely be mediocrity. “We see better when we stand on the shoulders of those that have gone ahead of us”. This is why we have nairaland but its just turning more and more mediocre with the schools that are being mentioned here daily. Please lets shoot higher shots! 12 Likes 1 Share |

Sassandra: Sassandra:Very great points raised up there I can assure you! Consider someone going for MSC with a 2.5/5.0, do you think this applies? Such a person is most likely just trying to get admission into any school that would him him. I'm still in uni with 1 yr left but the number of people I've seen trying to run away is far more than what I've imagined. The country has done us so bad but that's another talk for another day. In all honesty, I wouldn't really say guys here apply to "dead" schools as you implied and that's why we have the IS thread as well as this thread. On the US thread, there are some known schools as red flags and on here, people bring suggestions for the schools they are applying to and see the one that is the best among them. If you tell this to everyone, the truth is not everyone is going to get into a top school, some would still have to get into the lower schools due to reasons like GRE, TOEFL, GPA, LOR, etc. Just because someone got 335 in GRE doesn't mean another person can get up to 320. Some people would have to apply to lower schools invariably. A cousin of mine who just graduated as one of the 4 best (4.97/5) from unilag in Chemistry can apply to top schools like Stanford, Harvard, etc but would you say the same for people who graduated with 3.5-4.3? This is just for bragging rights lol I just pray that in our quest for a better life, we get to achieve our goals and reach greater heights! 1 Like 1 Share |

Sassandra: From your post, I think I agree with the GRE and TOEFL part. The other part is influenced by your own personal views. 1. Are you aware that there are over 4000 accredited schools in the United States? If EducationUSA can invite such schools to Nigeria for college fair, please madam, you have no business calling them dead schools! 2. Are you aware that all fingers are not equal? Everyone did not and would not come out with first class or second class upper? 3. Are you aware that everyone must not attend top schools? 4. Are you aware that some of those who went to your so-called dead schools get H1b visa sponsorship? 5. Are you aware that people further their studies for different reasons other than the limited reasons you gave above? The world is full of opportunities and everyone's path is different. 6. Are you aware that going to a top school does not guarantee a job offer after school? My point: The flavor of your post was haughty. Hence, my response to you. Do not use your personal preferences to judge other people. They are not you. Learn to understand individual differences. 11 Likes 1 Share |

reDazey: @reDazey To buttress your points, permit me to share the following excerpts from a US news article I read during my gradschool selection stage: "...While useful, the downside of rankings is that they leave out hundreds of outstanding graduate schools, with long lists of satisfied, successful, and loyal alumni. And there is absolutely no reliable statistical correlation between where someone attended graduate school and his or her ultimate professional success... ...Attending a more prestigious institution may initially open some doors, but your ultimate success will depend on what you bring to the table in terms of communication skills, motivation, resilience, and determination. Do not just pick a graduate program because of what someone else thinks; pick those programs to which you'll apply because they resonate with what you are seeking. In the end, you will be a happier student and alumnus, and most likely, more fulfilled in your chosen profession..."
