Hello, I discovered that most US schools have started waving GRE, TOEFL and other exams as a requirement towards Fall 2020 admission. However, after securing admission, is it possible to seek for funding without these exams considering the competition involved in seeking for fund? I need advise.

Thanks.

Most US schools will consider all PhD applications for funding, though not everyone eventually gets funding. In other words, admission and funding goes hand-in-hand. If you have not gotten funding, you should reach out to them and ask when funding decisions will be made. If for some strange reason they didn't evaluate you for funding when giving you admission, then that's indeed strange and you should reach out to them. However, if they have evaluated you and offered you admission with no funding, then keep asking. Who knows, God can favour you if it's your time to get it.

Yes, they waive GRE if they are still accepting applications for fall 2020, but most have ended applications and have even made offers and people and accepted and rejected offers by April 15 latest. This is the more reason you should reach out to the schools you applied to and ask if someone has declined their offers to know if you have a chance, assuming you;re on some waiting list.

Hello guys... I am in need of your advice and clarification. I registered with this Affordable Test individual early in January and took the test. I also sent the results to my preferred unis.

Today I received an email from ETS telling me to resolve an issue of outstanding payment and that my scores will be withheld and other services.

The thing is I have received admission from one of the schools I sent the results to. How can I resolve this? Will this affect my admission in any way?

Also I would like to really understand what scam the guy pulled on me and others that have gone through similar situations? How did he book us for an exam without paying?

I am angry that despite the review on that cretin, you still went ahead to do business with him.

He's a scammer, your money don enter bush.

Sorry, investigate well before transacting with anyone here.

Just an advice, please don't take it to heart. You need to improve on your writing skills since you would be take the A.W.A in GRE. Secondly, this thread has virtually all the information you seek.
Godspeed

Hello everyone,

Could it be that covid 19 has delayed lots of admissions or why is this group quite dormant for some weeks now?.

Please share with us your admission updates.

Gracias

GRE and TOEFL online registration:

If you have exhausted all options and still can't register, find an email connected to me here (there're several) and reach out to me. You will be registered.

PS: There is no charge for this service, just doing it to help, but this also means that everybody can't be helped.

Is 2020 still a feasible year for postgraduate education abroad considering the covid-19 pandemic? I feel like the pandemic will outlive this year based on projections.

The GRE might be exempted for Nigeria appliants, but receiving funding without any of these tests is rare. Take the test; it will really worth it at the end of the day.

Hey dear. The materials are scattered here on the thread. I also intend writing but I am having issues reading alone.

Pls are you or anyone here interested in having a study partner or we can create a study group on any app to converse and share ideas, questions and all. Especially with this Lockdown and the plenty free time that has been made available to us.

If you are in you could reply in on this post. I would really love a group of similar minds that are really ready to study.

Thanks guys.

I am in. Would like to have a group of like minds. Intend writing the exams in June.

Something similar to this occurred some months ago, when an alternate group was created; Information dissemination became limited and the thread became almost as quiet as the seabed. Eventually, the main aim of the thread was jeopardised.

For the sake of those who's to come, let's work on making this thread a good study ground, and shun study groups that will only be accessible to few.

I wrote my GRE Today
I prepared for roughly 3 months basically followed @user234’s advices, I felt extremely confident when I got up this morning.
Arrived an hour and a half before the test started. Got the quant section first, let's just say, it was deadlier than I thought
QUANTITATIVE - 168
VERBAL - 153
TOTAL - 321
I was hoping for 3 verbal sections however I was given 3 quants much to my dismay, the first section was pretty basic and I was quite confident of my performance in that section, however the subsequent two were quite challenging as I ran into time trouble in both sections, especially the final section.
On the other hand, the verbal section was another ball game entirely. The first section was really crazy. Although I understood the sentences and could identify simple words that could be used to fill in the blanks, the options provided were unfamiliar. The second section was relatively easier as compared to the first though
Both sections were a lot more difficult than I expected. At the end of the test I felt I didn’t do too well in the verbal but I was hoping for the best. After seeing my verbal score, I was quite disappointed. The examiner noticed as I couldn’t hide my expression. I am glad I got above 320 and I hope to never write GRE ever again as preparation and writing were extremely stressful and time consuming.

SCHOOLS
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CARLIFORNIA -MSC
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS - MSC
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA - MSC
MCGILL UNIVERSITY – MSC
At the test centre, there was a very attractive girl there, we made eye contact a couple times, I really wanted to talk to her but those officials were quite strict at Dragnet and didn’t allow communication inside that lobby. I was really looking forward to talking to her so I waited for a while after I was done but it seemed like she wasn’t gonna (I really hope I didn’t write “gonna” inside my essay) be done anytime soon and considering how exhausted I felt, I had to leave. If you’re on this thread, don’t hesitate to send a message.
I'm highly motivated by this your Quant Score.

I quite understand your disposition but this thread would always be the place to get info but studying on NL is really limited. Considering the issues with spam and posting questions on here won't be easy. Also for NL to work one has to constantly be on net which won't work for everyone.

I have been trying to prepare for GRE since 2017/2018 though my projection was always for Fall 2020. But it wasn't easy studying alone.

With the study group there's a team of many other like minds like you and there's an everyday target, which has really been helping me. It depends on individual traits though and the lockdown has really been of help as there's enough time to study.

It's like a blessing actually grin, cos my workplace still can't be fully operational yet.

The study group is exactly what it is no extra talk nor discussions like on here just study...

I understand your concerns. The truth is no one knows when this pandemic will go away. But my advice is do what you can this period. Don’t stop your plans. The pandemic is global and most countries are trying to keep its people safe. I always say better to be prepared and ready than caught unawares. Just focus on what you can do right now and what is within your control and leave the ones you cant control.
Here in the US, some schools have emailed students that fall semester will be on campus. So everyone is just being positive.
