hello,
i am new here

please i would love to get more info as per the canadian universities.

i have a cgpa of 3.86/5. is that high enough? please kindly reply......also what do u mean by LOR, SOP


I really dont know much about schools in canada. However, taking the GRE test which i believe is not difficult; gives you the leverage you desire.
A 3.86/5.0cgpa upon conversion to 4.0/WES might well be higher than you think...depending on the school you finished from.
LOR...is a letter of recommendation...needed from your referees on behalf of you.
SOP...is a statement of purpose..written by you, stating the reasons why you want what you desire.

Hello Gurus in the house. I emailed a Professor and fortunately he replied. This is his reply below:

Dear XXXX,

Thanks for your email. I would like to schedule a 1-hour skype interview with you. Please prepare a 30-minutes PowerPoint presentation covering all the research studies you have carried out so far and send back. We will then schedule the interview time.

Prof. XXXX

I have an idea of what he wants. However, this is the first time I am getting this kind of reply from a potential supervisor. I just need useful suggestions from you guys that will enhance my performance.I am a PhD applicant going in for Mechanical Engineering. Thanks a lot.

This should be good news for you. If you have any publications talk about them, If not talk about your undergraduate project, if you carried out experiments,talk about the laboratories and the analysis of your results.

Dear Friends,

I am working towards PhD Economics, I know MS is usually not funded, but if funded, I am willing. My scores are below
GPA 4.52 on 5
GRE 313 Q 160 V. 153 AWA 4
2 publications indexed in RePEc

What I need
I am aware nobody may search for school on my behalf, I know it is my responsibility. But I will be glad to have suggestions from you friends in the race, if you have any experience about any school, where you think my profile fits in, I will be glad to have your suggestions.

I have been researching too, just getting a lot of discouragement, some will state low scores, but by the time I check them out on Gradcafe, I wil still see a lot of rejections for the same profile they claim to accept, why? "big scores" also applied! some require low scores but have little to no money. Please help me

You have a good profile, Bro... I'm a graduate of Economics too... Check out TAMU College Station, they have a good funding policy for PhD Economics ... Í would suggest more when am less busy... Contact me on whatsApp (o8i426i37i7) If you don't mind writing a research paper with me... Goodluck

Great job you guys are doing here, I am just catching up on the thread and only really have weekends to do that. Schedule has been really busy. I fully understand why PhD students have to be funded. You don't really have time for anything else.

I think I should be contributing more to this thread but bear with me biko. Shout out to Scholastica16, your posts are full of sagacity.

HOYINDARMORLAR:
Hello everyone.
Special greetings my gurus and egbons in the house. I have been thinking about applying to graduate schools and writing gre for a while now. i have basically just been researching schools and not paying enough time to the actual test prep, i felt i could just do a few weeks rush-rush prep and ace it. Of course that quickly changed when i started going through this thread. I am looking at fall 2018 admissions, already have a list of schools and all that.
As advised on earlier pages of this thread, i took the powerprep test today, i haven't been preparing for GRE before, i just wanted to get a feel for the test.
V 161 Q140
I obviously need a lot of work on my quantitative aspect. I only have about 6 weeks to prepare. I have gone through the thread top to bottom(took me a week and several sleepless nights). It was totally worth it, the wealth of information here is just amazing. I have downloaded some of the materials and have links to others.

Here's my important question, what materials can i use to prep for these 6 weeks to strengthen my quantitative aspect?
I know this question has been asked over and over in many different formats, but i would greatly appreciate a response to mine too.
please can you share Tech schools(for Electrical Engineering) that you have come across, as it has been a nightmare for me searching for schools, and i intend to write my GRE Nov ending, Thanks.

How is getting direct PhD giving you a tough time? Going by what you've written here, it seems you've not even applied to any schools yet. So what help do you need?

Don't use grubber. Use Princeton, the ETS Guide and Magoosh videos. Learn the Process of Elimination method (POE); i.e writing down alphabets on your answer sheet and striking them one after the other till you arrive at one you are either not sure about, sure or cannot say. If that is the only option left, click it and move on.

Develop reading speed. Read bulky paragraphs slowly but once so you would not need to read them again to get the idea being expressed. If you get the gist of what you are reading POE would be easy for you.

Try to read the ETS guide, practice drill or PowerPrep II before the test day because no other material replicates the GRE quite like the testmakers themselves. If you study Grubber before you get into the hall, you would feel like you had been training to play Everton but got Barcelona instead.

I don't know much about the school but their engineering programs are rated well. Also, you won't have any issues with funding if you are admitted. The acceptance rate online says 25-30% for grad programs but it could be whittled down to something relatable to you if you contacted the grad coordinator for this information.

As a rule of thumb, I check the reddit pages of my prospective schools and then I also calculate a rough estimate of the acceptance rate by counting the rejects and accepts for PhD programs on grad cafe.

You may want to search 'UCSD or UC San Diego Electrical Engineering' on the grad cafe search box and make sure the search runs for all times. You can even know the profiles of some accepted/rejected students if you click that red diamond icon by the side.
