imperiouxx: @Gboyega,

I sent you text message twice, one on Sunday morning and the other, the afternoon but still didn't get reply.

No vex. Text rate is damn high on this end to International Numbers. I have responded to you via facebook this morning.

151- verbal, 156- qtytative lipsrsealed

You may be asked to rewrite the GRE if you want TAMU, College Station because their minimum quantitative requirement is 162 if you are applying for PhD. 156 in the quantitative is damn very low and I will advice you rewrite the exam focus more on the quantitative if you want to get into top schools. If it is Masters you are applying to, you should be fine.
A safety school for your quantitative score will be Utah State University however, their next admission into their Doctoral Program in Economics is Fall, 2015 which is a long time from now. You can also check University of Mississippi or Mississippi State University. I know one of them admits for Phd Economics in Fall of 2014.

Ok. If you want funding, I will suggest you apply into programs without PhD in economics as they have better funding opportunities than those which have phd because they consider PhD student more for funding. You can use the American Economic Association to get the list of schools who have graduate programs in Economics to aid in your search. Their website is: www.aeaweb.org.

Even if you want to defer, MSU won't allow you handle the application yourself anymore.. They now require all Nigerian Students wishing to study in their school to apply through EducationUSA due to the high rate of Visa denials..

That's the problem I'm facing now.. I have already gotten my student visa for fall 2013 and I want to defer my admission to spring 2014.. They asking me for another New Bank statement and they are saying I should go through EducationUSA..

Me I'm just confused jare.....

kofsy: ok! I did my GRE today and I'm not pleased... I had 154 in verbal and 152 in quantitative. My quant score is kinda lower than i expected cos the questions where quite simple and i think i got at least 14 questions right in each of the two sections. sad sad sad sad sad could there have been an error





I want to thank Gboyega once again.... The Barron's actually helped me in my quants. God bless you.

My brother ur own case is just simple.. Defer your admission straight to the point...

There is no time again for you anymore since ur school is resuming on the 20th of August which is nxt week tuesday. When will u even have time to book flight, processing of visa, delays at the airport or even settle in.

There are too many tins to consider.. You self check it and u will see it is not possible again for u to meet up for this fall.. Just go for spring bro, by then you will have ample of time to plan and book appointment as early as possible and taking advantage of cheap flight ticket when u book in advance.

Assuming MSU resumes next month september, it wud have been much possible for you to meet up..

Email MSU and tell them you want to defer your admission.. They will definately tell you to go thru EducationUSA, and I will advice you oblige to their rules.. Because it is now Mandatory for Nigerian applicants to apply through EducationUSA due to the high rate of Visa Denials..

Just go to EducationUSA at the US consulate and make your enquiry.. If you still don't like this idea of going through EdaucationUSA, you can try applying to other schools towards spring 2014 that don't require EdactionUSA.. And you need to do that asap because deadlines for admission into spring 2014 is almost near.

The spring 2014 session is already around the corner.

But I think with EducationUSA, you stand a very high chance of getting your Visa...

Cheers bro...

See bro, Going to the Embassy on the 29th of August with a resumption date of 20th of August on your i-20 is AUTOMATIC DENIAL..

So you will need to take permission from the school and get an extension letter from them in other for you to resume late.. Believe me, even if they grant you the extension letter approval it will be for only 1 week.. And by then it won't still be convenient for u as well and you won't still meet up for fall.

And besides MSU won't allow you to resume by september..

But you can email them and Try your luck, the best I know they will do is to defer your admission to spring 2014. And before doing that they will tell you to register with EducationUSA before they can review your application.
