FA13: Some schools require 500 word SOP, it must not be lengthy. Perhaps GSU are cheerful givers in terms of funding master's students 4 Likes |

FA13: Who reads a 6-page SOP? I'm sure they didn't even read beyond the first page I always tell applicants - don't make things hard for yourself - A short and coherent SOP (1K words max unless your school gives you word count) - 1-page resume (the average person spends 10 seconds on a resume) - Clear LOR showing your skills AND EXAMPLES OF SITUATIONS WHERE YOU SHOWED THOSE SKILLS (highlight those skills while sending your LOR requests to your referees) Shikenah!

bracelum:Please what of a situation where my graduate school ask me to write this for funding opportunities How many pages can I write. Expecially when the word EXTENSIVE surface Please write an EXTENSIVE personal statement addressing: Why are your reasons for attending graduate school (e.g. why have you selected this path, what major goals do you see graduate school connected to/influencing in your life)? Why do you feel you should be granted an assistantship? As part of your experience as a GA, are there any specific skills or abilities that you would like to learn / develop (e.g. statistics, speaking skills)? What deficits / weaknesses do you feel you currently have that may be related to your position as a GA? What are your expectations of working as a GA / Research Associate (e.g. tasks you will be asked to complete, experiences you hope to be a part of)? In terms of educational expertise, what areas of interest are you most interested in? What plans do you have to grow in this area? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Ubah1: Dont say what you dont know. Check their requirements and see for yourself. I sent my official GRE score to them cos it was part of my application checklist. Before my GRE got to them by ETS, my application was pending. A friend of mine encouraged me to apply after he had GRE 287 and still had Full funding in three good schools in the US. He is currently there right now. Cheers 4 Likes |

No long thing... [/quote It depends on your Intro and POI. Like me i did alot of projects while in school so I explained everything in details. I got a PhD admission in the UK and that was what the POI recommended via mail before i got the admission. She wanted to be sure i was equipped to carry out the research. So if your Intro is straight to the point and you write what they can relate with then no problem 3 Likes 1 Share |

ToluwalekeA: That you sent it doesn't mean they require it. I have checked and didn't see it on their admission requirement. You can show me too with a screenshot. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by ToluwalekeA: 11:13am On Feb 08, 2019 |
ToluwalekeA: Meanwhile i had three admission with my profile for Spring 2019 buh my POI advised that i defer the admission to fall 2019 to be considered for funding cos there was no funding for spring. That was why i fired 6 other applications. Louisiana, BGSU and Michigan |

Ubah1: When u apply online, you will see it. Plus i called the departments to formally know their requirements. Thats all the first thing i do before applying. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by Ubah1(m): 11:20am On Feb 08, 2019 |
ToluwalekeA: Okay. I checked the geoscience website and it wasn't stated. Maybe it's a general requirement by graduate school. |

[quote author=ToluwalekeA post=75529666][/quote] Like I said, this is just a general graduate school requirement from international students. On departmental site it's not listed as requirement. Check well. Your GRE didn't play a role in their evaluation

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by ToluwalekeA: 11:31am On Feb 08, 2019 |
Ubah1: Okay. The screenshot was from College of Art and Science requirements. On the department requirement you have this that in addition to the requirements byy the college of art and science. Well i may agree with you, buh lets wait and see other applications. Cheers

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by Ubah1(m): 11:39am On Feb 08, 2019 |
ToluwalekeA: Yeah, that means applicants must first meet the college of arts and science requirement. From what I have read so far from their site, the Department doesn't use it for admission purposes. That's a good one for those with low GRE score, they can look for department that doesn't lay emphasis on GRE score and apply there. Thanks for the update. |

Hello Nairalanders, you guys are doing great job. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by GboyegaD(m): 5:46pm On Feb 08, 2019 |
bracelum: Admission into graduate program is a bit different. Apparently, you may have to talk to a fellow student who's been on the committee. What I understand is that the first few lines/paragraph is key but for those finally selected, their SOP is read and analyzed to see if they are the perfect fit for the program. |
