hummmmm why would you interpret the link in this way ?

if you intend to go with a Uni visa and make a switch to a CC as soon as you enter then any news about such topic should interest you as it might potentially affect you or anyone planning that pathway ....so you ensure you know what the rules or implications or situations are .....

instead of reading it and noting, you responded back with crase , smoke and die ...... i am puzzled

biikeys:


$100k? or N100k

LagosismyHome:


So try University of Lagos or Obafemi Awolowo University is an insult ................ alright

LagosismyHome:


The response you first got might not have been what you want to hear but it was not insultive

it was your various followup that was insultive .....

enigbon:
yes i agree alot of peeps here are very insultive, if you feel someone is askin a stupid question or is being lazy, u dont need to reply for Godsake this is a forum abeg, where else would he have asked is supposed "stupid question"

obaxlove:


Why are you guys here full of insults? Oga I only asked a question and if you don't have the answer keep your stinking mouth shut!

HOYINDARMORLAR:


BGSU.
OSU.
USU.

temmitats:

How was it?

HOYINDARMORLAR:
thanks for the prompt response boss. I actually studied economics, hoping to apply for a masters in financial economics.
undergraduate CGPA is 3.03/5.

temmitats:

I did.

temmitats:
4.5 haven't you received an email?

temmitats:

You'll get an email asking you to log into your account , your scores should be ready because I got mine this morning

LagosismyHome:


dont mind these yeye people. . it does happen , some are just more comfortable paring with who they either feel more comfortable or who they feel is more like them

but i recall this as well.... just check you are not doing anything that puts anyone off. sometimes u might not know you are (some of our naija habits and ways are different ) but time adjust people behaviours and processes to suit the immediate environment. ...

in the meantime dont let it get your down. with time it will normalise so pay little attention to it or it will start affecting you unknowingly . continue to reach out to see who will pair with u as no man is an island and if they dont then do your own thing

slimmy2005:
It is normal. You'll better off not partnerin with anyone. Insist you want to partner with the prof or do your thing.

iekene:
So I have a question for those who have been in the US for a while :

Is it normal that you are been ostracized by the white folks like your classmates . I am not speaking racism, I have white friends and we talk and discuss on the regular but when it comes to like forming a group or having a partner everyone tries to avoid you.

The latest was on our last field trip. Everyone had sitting partners and I was left to sit alone . Even my "so called friends.

Is this a normal experience or it's just me ?

For you to hit Q 162 in Manhattan, it means you could get up to 166 in real GRE, ceteris paribus. Manhattan's quant is a bit tougher than actual GRE and I recommend it for practice. But, Manhattan's Verbal doesn't mimic the actual GRE too well. Yes, they use a lot of fancy words but their RC are not as complex as that of the GRE. That doesn't mean you should abandon Manhattan, you should just know its limitations.

So I recommend using ETS official guide to GRE Verbal and ETS Revised GRE guide. You will see questions of different difficulty levels and are actual past GRE questions. You will learn a lot of strategies from Magoosh guide and Videos too.

You would have to be patient with yourself. GRE is testing skills they expect you to have learned from primary school up till now and not just from last two months. Sadly, we don't learn much of those skills from our schooling especially those of us from Science background. So, identify your weakness in Verbal first - for most people it's the RC, so focus more on practicing that part. Learn how to read very fast without losing meaning. Learn reading by "chunking". Learn to read actively. When you read, take notes - yes! there will be time for it and it helps you read actively. With practice you will get better. These are just General tips I can give now. If you have specific concerns you can ask.

I think @gokuu can also come to your aid; he scored 162 in Verbal.

DreManuel:


Thanks bro. We will shake hands at the top. You too went to Unilag? I heard somewhere that you were a Jaja boy.

akinjis:
Good morning too everybody here...have always been a silent reader for a while now..pls I need help on how too write a statement of purpose on MBA in communication and public Relation please

fruzzy:
@blacnewton.please how do i get in touch with you?i would need your advise

styrese:
Hello people, please I need help urgently on an affordable university and also accredited for my masters degree in marketing usa.Thanks

profem1:

You are applying to finance or what?

DeeTus:
Hahahaha. You better go learn English, before young girls out there start to antagonize you.

profem1:

Lol. You're write though.

Apart from the loan, I don't think an MFE programme really suit my taste. A quant analyst would require more than the course work of an MFE.

Nevertheless, I might still opt for an MFE. I'm also considering the 5 years of doing a PhD on the other hand.
You're applying strictly to MFE programmes?

Bobo419:
Good afternoon everyone,

I've been following this thread for few weeks now. I need help at this point. Please, if you can, I'd appreciate it.

So I'm trying to apply to some schools in the states and I'm stuck at the point of statement of purpose. Did some research and it looks quite a bit uneasy like I'd thought it would be.

Please, I'm open to suggestions and advise from everyone. Or if I can get a sample SOP to leverage on, I certainly won't mind either.

Apologies for disturbing you'll. I look forward to someone helping me.

Thanks.

DeeTus:
Don't get stuck man. Think outside the box. You gonna be fine. SOP is not a difficult thing to write.

profem1:

Most of these programmes hardly provide financial support. They consider it an investment on the part of the applicant.
I somehow agree with them but I don't think I want to take a student loan for it.

temmitats:

Yes the scores we reported immediately after the test are at no charge.

temmitats:
I agree with you, Even I experience racism, I do not think that should be a significant factor in my choosing schools, funding is more important.
