I sent you a pm..pls, kindly reply

Hello
contact me on anoyeshomo@gmail.com

Please who knows how much FedEx or UPS charge for I-20 shipping.

Thanks a lot for your advice. I appreciate.

bracelum:


If the HRM is not stated on your i20, it is safer to say "I'm going for an MBA"

It is better not to mention the entrepreneurship thing. You can say "I have plans to leverage on the knowledge and leadership expertise acquired through this degree to take up more leadership roles in the [insert your current industry] industry.

sharwama:

I can imagine how you feel about this so let me quickly share something with you.
First, a lot of professors do not respond to emails, you should be thankful he did reply.
Second, you didn't tell us the content of the mail you sent, I mean what were you seeking? Was it an assistantship, mentorship or you just wanted to establish contact with a faculty? That would explain why he asked about funding.
Third, I won't say your response was wrong but I feel it would have been more "professional". Let me show you:
I have reached out to/ contacted the grad coordinator/ department or so so so about being considered for funding but I am currently awaiting the decision.
While my example may not be perfect, I pray it shows you how passive "I am hoping" sounds. You don't just "hope" for things, you make moves,you CHASE THEM and by letting the professor know the specific steps you have taken so far, you sustain the communication.
Conclusively, I suggest you send a follow-up mail to him. I don't know what you want from him but you might just have to ask again because Nigerians are resilient, we do not go down without a fight!
P.S I am sorry if my response is long, wordy and rambling. I am having cramps and writing makes me feel better, so you might want to forgive me

Thanks so much for this. Yes, this is the first time a professor is responding to my mail and I have sent several. I mentioned how wonderful his latest research (summarised the research) is and asked if he will like to be my supervisor. I want to apply for PhD. in the school.

I will send a follow up mail. Thanks again.

Thanks a lot for your advice. I appreciate.

Pls do keep writing....We need to enlighten people. I belong to several GRE and MSINUS groups which are full of Indians and i have made lots of friends along the way. These guys are "go getters" their tenacity is quite infectious.

Infact i have found some study buddies among them and i have improved alot in my GRE study. I was targeting fall 2019 before into some low tier schools because i also have a 9-5 job in a tech firm.

But i have decided to push it to 2020 because most of the top tier schools funding deadlines have either passed or are coming up soon and i wont be able to meet them. Also my course of study isn't really in low tier schools which has to do with Tech Innovation. Another great factor is the time it offers me to be more embedded in more tech and community projects in the next 8 months which would strengthen my application.

My target schools are Boston University for their dual degree, Cornell University, University of Virginia and some other mid tier schools.

One thing i decided to do is to check out their requirements and understand what is required. I have 8 months from now to put my best foot forward. I have also identified some bias that can work on my behalf.

1. African
2. Female
3. In Tech (3 magic words that sells like hot cake right now)

Secondly, i have reached out to alumni's in my proposed program on linkedin for tips etc, I found out for Boston University the rate of Africans applying to that course is very low. Infact 2016 set just had 1 African a Sudanese.... Spoke to her and found out she didn't even have the "top notch GRE score needed" Same with a friend who just got into Harvard but diversity, etc played a part.

Indians: What people don't understand is that they are in competition with each other for admit spots. An Indian once told me they are held to a higher standard than others from other countries just because they are too many of them that are just as good. That's why you find an Indian who got 320 in GRE crying and saying how can he get 330 can you imagine?

Funding: The art of predicting every factor before it happens restrains anything from happening. I believe in taking a step at a time. You never know what can happen.

The inspiring story of how Koye got into INSEAD is a testimony to this among others https://www.bellanaija.com/2018/01/mogbekeloluwa-koye-ladele-shares-inspiring-insead-journey/

Another Great factor is: THE LONG TERM PLAN. Many Nigerians are very short sighted and they don't see the future nor the cycle change of leadership turning. The relationships, networks and pedigree etc can really do wonders for your future.

I am just encouraging people to make the best out of every opportunity that comes your way. Strive for the best as it plays out well in the long run. At least TRY!

Great write up, I'm even more motivated, I am also a fall 2020 like u but masters not MBA, can we link up as I think your influence and access to like minded people and groups will help me

I don't know why I missed this comment. You sound so on point!

Also, add GMATClub to your list. You might not be going for an MBA but I admire the way you acknowledge networks as a key driver of success. In other words, you sound like an MBA student. GMATClub will give you tips on networking.

Goodluck in your applications

Such an enlightening write-up! We are in the same shoes, though "male in tech" here. Can I send you a DM?

Thanks alot Bracelum, yeah i also joined GMAT club last year, it has been a great networking experience. I had an unofficial call interview from one of the graduate officers which i met on GMAT club. Which went awesome (his words) and hopefully it leads to a nice scholarship package when i apply in October. Interacting with the outside world as so much opened my eyes to alot of things.

Way to go! Way to go!
Once the admissions officers know you and know that you have a keen interest in their program, your application is just a formality. They won't even bother if you have a low profile compared to their class because they have known you better than your essays (aka SOPs) and they know what you will add to their program. That is one trick on securing admits to top and competitive programs even with a low profile.

Feel free to buzz me if you need any assistance. You're already on the right track!

Like someone said earlier, you only need the SAT to get into an undergraduate program. My little advice for you is-since you have a bachelors degree already in MLS, going for another bachelors won't fly when you present your case to the VO. My 2 cents is that check schools that can accept you in their Ms Biology program (I believe with your MLS degree, you should have certain prerequisites) after the Masters program, you can then take MCAT if you're keen about going to Med School and yes from there, you'd be on the part of becoming a MD.

Best!!
