@Obsy2020, LOL! That's very true. The airline is so unique and wonderful. @Amefrica, are you on facebook? If yes, then drop me ur user id so that i can add you. I really cannot fathom why i didn't get your request. America+Africa= Amefrica. It sounds good.

syahboy: Hello Nairalanders, I recently took the Gre and today I received the official Score Report Quant-165, Verbal-156 Total 321 and AWA-5.0(Not stellar but laudable).

Congrats. Your preparation paid off. I wish you the best in your TOEFL.
Why not try some more top schools? With your score, you should be able to get in with good SoP and LoRs. I will also suggest you look for Person(s) of Interest in the schools you are applying to as they could speak for you at the point of admission.
I like your dream and I wish you well. If you continue this way, I see you getting to greater heights.

syahboy: Yeah! Bro that's the thing, don't really want to wait and the NYSC thing I see it as a waste of time. I'm just aiming at top 40 programs for Ms, then for Phd I'll concentrate on top 20 programs. Considering I want to get a phd wasting a year on NYSC is a big deal for me, I wish there was a way I could make Fall 2014. Thanks bro I hope you enjoy your flight to the USA grin

If you want a Phd then, give it a shot. You can get into the top 40 phds in your field if you try. All you need is make sure your undergraduate thesis is awesome and in your SoP, you can always explain you have no journal articles, conference attendance and research experience because of the nature of the economy of Nigeria. Sincerely, it works wonders.
I can testify you have a good writing skill and can assure you, with God on your side, you will get in.

frankie2K: Good Day all,

I was introduced to this forum by a friend of mine.I took my time to go through it. I believe it gives me a better chance of help in packaging my application for visa.I have a HND in computer science (2010)alongside some certificates in computer courses from Swedish schools(online) and currently teaching computer in a high school.I applied to two schools and one of the two schools(Baylor university,Texas)offered me admission and a $4500 funding annually.I was admitted as a post-baccalaureate student because I do no meet the requirements for Masters.I will be taking the TOEFL test next month as I have learnt from the posts of the gurus in the house,I am worried with some few things and they are as follows:

1) I am 29 to be 30 years old by November,hope age will not be a barrier in obtaining visa as I am meant to understand that post-baccalaureate is seen as undergraduate program.
2) The school that offered me admission alongside funding (Baylor University)is a private institution,will it hinder me obtaining a visa?
3) After taking the TOEFL(ibt),how long does it take the hard copy (original)to reach me so as to muse it as a evidence that I took the test during the interview with a VO.

Why not apply to schools that accepts HND without discrimiation? You could also get some funding based on your profile if you write and do well on the GRE.

He's truly got foresight and most times, I wish most of our young guys can think and act this way. While many of the young men are busy involving in too much of frivolities, here is a young man building a life and a great dream for himself.

And u tink dat ain't stellar? Anyway, av bookmarked d sites u recoomended & jst downloaded d Nova's bible. But d Nova i got was d 2008 edition. I dnt knw if it was d same u used (u knw d new GRE started 2011)
Its the same bro, all the concepts, tricks and formulars you need are all embedded in that ebook. Problem is its a big book and you need atleast a month to finish it.(If you can, then I assure you'll make 160+)

Magoosh gre really helped so do well to make use of their free 1 week premium subscription(When it expires re-register with same email and username and Tada you continue your progress form where you stopped). I got an old copy of the ETS OG from a friend and it came with two practise tests, If you can purchase it or get an old copy it'll do you a lot of good as it explains question patterns and types.

If you're using android or IOS get the free magoosh flashcard App and mug up the words, I did it in the taxi, rest-room...name it(No need to mug up 4000 words, on test day you'll hardly see 100 words)...Cheers!

I think that is a major challenge. I will advise you try to connect more with those who are there so that whenever classes starts, you will have adjusted.
