tolatof:No he didn't!! Its harder to get a Phd admit than a master's, most schools have capacity to admit fewer doctoral students compared to master's, very few doctoral positions are available which makes it competitive compared to a masters and I will just leave it at that. 3 Likes |

Your insights and advise are excellent, however, you see the bolded line; that's where you goofed. Your knowledge of PhD application process is kinda parochial, maybe because you don't know that PhD application is like Job hunting, compared to MS its is NEVER easier. Chidinho10: 1 Like |

Wow! Are you for real? This is interesting ".[/b]Different schools, different rules. people apply for MSC and are given Phd instead..[b]" I will screenshot this and laugh to it whenever I think of Buhari and APC.

Visa approved on 8th June Lagos Embassy 7:15am My Transcript V.O: Good morning and how are you doing? Me: I'm fine and you? V.O: what are going to do in the USA? Me: to have my masters degree in Mathematics V.O: How do you find out about the school? Me: Through the recommendation of my mentor who is a professor of mathematics from the University of Lagos. V.O: What will you major on in mathematics? Me: I'll major on Abstract algebra V.O: (surprised ) Why abstract algebra? Me: The course is very scarce here in Nigeria and we have limited lecturers in the field, apart from that I created a deep love for this aspect of mathematics which made me the best student in algebra during my undergraduate and I also did my final year project in abstract algebra. V.O: how many universities did you apply to? Me: 4 V.O: Name them Me: Montana State University, University of Illinois Chicago, Howard University and Sam Houston State University. V.O: how many admits? Me: 2 V.O: Name them Me: Howard University and Sam Houston State University V.O: Why this particular school? Me:I was given assistanship V.O: (she checked my I-20) who will be paying for the little balance? Me: My dad V.O: What is he doing? Me:He works with the government and he has a filling station. V.O: what will you be doing as a G.A? Me:I'll be grading papers, leading group discussion and taking first year students tutorials. V.O: What is differential equation? MeI was not expecting this, but with confidence since its my field and I teach Further Mathematics and we just finished differential equations ) Differential Equations is used to balance or check the stability of two systems (I now remembered that this definition is an advance definition from stability theory) then I asked her "do you in want the dy/dx and she responded yes mathematically, given y=ax^n dy/dx=anx^n-1 V.O: What is the difference between abstract algebra and linear algebra? Me: (I felt like these questions don dey too much oooooo) algebra is a combination of symbols and the rules that guides the combination which is divided into two: Abstract Algebra is the abstract think section of mathematics which deals with groups, topology and others spaces, while linear algebra is an aspect of algebra that deals with straight equations. V.O: Do you have any friend or relative in the USA? Me: No (she brought out the white paper and I was just happy inside me, my mind no even dey Wetin she dey say again while she circled the part I'll pick the passport) V.O: Keep your I-20 as this will be needed at the point of entry and you will be using it as your ID in the US...... So sorry it's coming late. I just picked up my passport today and thanks to all those who posted their transcript cos I learnt a lot from all the transcript I can across here... Thanks and I wish you all success 26 Likes 2 Shares |

Please if one applies to just one school and get the admission although in the course of search for schools I had a short list of 4 schools but didn't apply further since admission application was made early and the 1st application was successful. Would it be bad to say I applied to just one school when a V. O ask. 1 Like |

UPDATE: I shared my experience at the embassy on Tuesday on how my Visa was placed on administrative processing. And that my account went from 8M to 99k within 12days. Well... I just got a text that my passport is ready for collection and I checked online and saw ISSUED. Thank you to everyone that encourages me especially Stella91. I am grateful.

There's no special kid here bro... It just have to happen cos they won't accept everyone and it is grace... It's just God's grace and I'm not sharing this to mock anyone but to encourage others that even if people are rejected before you, you can still be given and give all glory to God.....
