I think you should be specific what research area because power system is a broad area. most schools have power system group. But the research might not be what you are looking for. Check Iowa state, Ohio state, university of Utah, university of Tennessee Anfieldboss: 1 Like |

Quoran: Except he is enjoying the research there, your friend should transfer to another university where he will be funded. He wouldn't even have an issue getting a PI in another university especially with his experience already in the US. 2 Likes |

Mikkyboy: Hahahahaha! I wish you lot the best oh. Seems more and more people are unwilling to share their GRE experiences here and will rather talk about schools. This is unfair and I would not tire to say so. You will never understand the power of communal effort until you face a setback. 5 Likes |

solihp: Do not waste your time working too hard on the RCs as you may not improve significantly within a short time. You are better of making sure you get 8-10 out of 10 for the TCs and SEs in both sections. If you can get 8/10 in section(s) 1 and 2, your scaled score will most likely be 146-148 even without getting any of the RCs. So my advice: Work on the SEs and TCs. Use most of your time to make sure you get them right and then guess for the RCs. ![]() The guesses can be educated. You can look for the questions that ask for simple things like "synonyms" as used in the passage or the "tone" of the writer. Not all RC questions are long and windy. But if you have time, I will tell you to develop the strategy of reading the questions first just to have a feel of what you need to look for when reading the passage. That way, when you come across a part of the passage that has an answer you want, you will quickly recognize it. It will also help you know the aspect of the whole article that is just fluff because not every aspect of the passage will be useful. 3 Likes |

Anfieldboss: As long as you are applying for a PhD your chances of getting full funding are very high as PhDs receive a bulk of the funding in this country. The only precondition, is getting admitted and that is where the battle truly lies. From your profile, you stand a very good chance of getting admitted since you have (or will have) a masters degree. Just like Yildiz said however, most US schools are very specific about the research area so you would have to be very sure about the aspect of Power that you want to work on. Some research areas here that are sensitive are limited to only US citizens for proprietary reasons. You can find schools with the areas of interest by going through the comprehensive top 150 lists online and based on looking at your profile viz-a-viz with what the school expects, you can narrow down your list to something tractable. Then you can find out about the research areas and shoot emails where necessary. It is not going to be an easy task. But it is well worth it. 3 Likes |

Hello house, please i need help on this. I sat for gre today and performed so poorly (Q 144, V 144). My CGPA is 3.19/5.00. Though, have been working in a telecoms company for a while and now looking forward to further my studies (MSc in Telecommunication and Networking), my graduate degree was in Physics/Electronics. Is there any hope for me getting admission with my profile or what can i do to better my chances in securing admission in a moderate school, i applied to FIU (Flordia international Univeristy) was told i don’t need GRE/Tofel but need to have minimum of 3.0/4.0 in my undergraduate study but i doubt if my CGPA is up to the minimum requirement. I really don’t know what next to do at this stage, what advice can you give on this as i hope to pursue my dream. Your input will be highly appreciated, thanks |

hello house, I wrote the GRE exam yesterday. At the end of the test I was asked if I wanted to send my scores to my intended graduate schools. On that section, I choosed the option of sending my previous scores and the new scores to those schools. I want to ask if have not make a mistake by sending two different scores. Besides, will the schools receive both scores? My previous scores was 295, while my present scores is 309. 1 Like |

Good day to you all. I've been a silent reader on this thread and I give kudos to bosses like @sirRiddy, Scholastica, Pon Pon, Qouran, etc. My plan for US schools is fall 2020 cos of the fund to run many things involved. However I'll like someone to pls help me review my SOPs for two universities I applied for outside US. I'll be glad if bosses consider my request. Thanks |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by CuteRedd(f): 2:01pm On Jan 20, 2019 |
Bifrost:if you are writing around August/September then you should start preparing now. You would also need to maximise and prioritize your time especially if you work. If you don't, then great for you. Use your time wisely and in 3 months you will be ready to write it. Also, you need to make up your mind if you will do well with a tutor or you will study on your own. Things to note: Have a target score in mind and identify your weaknesses early and start working on them. Wish everyone the very best 2 Likes |
