Misleading? You are the one misleading here. The bolded for one is a lie from the pit of hell. Stop the reference to fictitious people. From part 1 to part 11 of this thread, thousands of posts, no one ever claimed to receive full funding with that score. Please don't stand in the way of others success. She clearly has the ability to do better, encourage her to do so otherwise she will be here this time next year lamenting on securing admissions without funding.

You are obviously very ignorant to think people cannot secure funding with that profile and despite validation from other people on the possibility you are still arguing and pontificating like you know what goes on in all the grad schools in the US.

It's even funnier when you mention this thread as evidence to support your claim.Do you really think all prospective applicants from Nigeria pass through nairaland? lol.

Oga, read my earlier post. I said "Her only bet are schools that do not accept GRE". And clearly
Kean University does not. So with 0 GRE masquellet would still gain admission and funding perhaps. Let's call a spade a spade, enough of this unnecessary debate, 291 will never ever secure full funding in a school that requires GRE.

http://grad.kean.edu/masters-programs/computer-information-systems
I tried to avoid this unnecessary argument but it seems, we need to get somethings clear.
whether Kean university requires 0 or 291 GRE score, d aforementioned person is already on a full GA in US school. it's non of our business to determine d factor that got him/her that. And besides Full scholarship ride is dependent on so many factors apart from d GRE...what about those who have/had stellar profile and still didn't get into a safe school? Bro, we've seen it here! Yes, I got ur point,if he/she has a great GRE score, it might increase someone chances of securing a full funding in top US schools...
My best friend scored 298 and he's currently on a full funding ride at Georgia Southern University (and his dept requires GRE score)..He never expected it, but, it happened! Alas!
Tho, I'm still a prospective candidate but that's my 2cents.
No disrespect bro.
Shalom!

I don't like commenting about school ranking and stuffs. But I personally know someone that studied engineering in Morgan state university, then got HI-B and a fully funded PHD in duke. However the person opted for the H1-B and let the PHD go. Morgan state uni is not even a ranked school. So a lot of things determine success in the USA.

Pls guys in the US, answer this question: when you get to your airport in JFK, New York; can they allow you to stay at the airport till the following morning if you intend to book and follow another plane to another state in the US the following day?

You can chill at the airport while you wait for your flight.You can also go into NYC and have a feel of the town if you wish.You get free wifi at JFK for 30mins or so after which you have to pay.

Once you land, you are on your own. You can decide to sleep at the airport,no one will query you so far you don't have any contraband item with you. You can also move from one terminal to the other using the Air Train just for sight seeing. The Air Train is free withing the Terminals anyway should you decide to burn time.

Your point? Your GRE score doesn't really matter, it is "grace" that does matter. We all should join MFM to secure fully funded admission to credible universities irrespective of GRE scores.

Do not say things you're not certain about. You've not being there so just state your opinion not say it like it's a fact. You said it like you're a graduate coordinator or the dean of a department. People have gotten funding with low GRE, GRE alone is not what gets people admission or funding. So many factors are considered and it's even on some schools website and everywhere online. It depends on the competitiveness of the school and program. So Even with the 310 you scored in your GRE you still won't get admission in a number of schools not to talk of funding. So just chill sir.

I can't remember posting my GRE score here but you got it, it was a 310 and it's embarrassing to me. I've secured unfunded PhD admission since then to a competitive school despite applying several months outside admission window. Look, a great GPA is not good enough, that's my point. I will rewrite my GRE because 310 can't fly. My sister, not everyone wants to study at Kean University or a Morgan state something. No disrespect to those studying there.

Hope you realize masters and PHD are two different things. It's easier to get a fully funded masters program with a low GRE score but I don't think that applies to PHD. Don't be too obsessed over ranking. I just gave an example of someone that studied engineering in an Unranked school. This person could not even secure GA from Nigeria , had a 2.2 in Nigeria but at the end secured a very good job in the US after school, got H1-B and and also a fully funded PHD program in duke. So allow people to go to what ever school they have opportunity to go do (especially whn funded). There it's never black and white, what works for A might not work for B. So enough of this.

if given the opportunity to fly (probably private jet) or use a public bus to undertake an international journey.... everyone would definitely chose the jet even though the bus would definitely still get to the required destination .... Funding and Top schools are means to an end , but they are the best possible means, and it definitely wouldn't hurt to have the best and hitch free road to a successful career.
