First, I congratulate you all, colleagues who have recently received good news of admission plus funding. e.g ABOLORUNKING, Akatovic1, Quoran et al.

Second, please I need help.
Can someone pls help me with how to get my transcripts evaluated by WES or NACES...
How much does it cost to evaluate my Bsc and also my Msc.
How do I pay for the transaction?
How long will it take?
Will the evaluated transcript be sent directly to the intended school by WES and will I also get a copy of the evaluated transcripts.


Third, the following nairalanders should contact me on richieohms@gmail.com for GRE preparation. I plan to write the exam soon. ( Qunlexie, Lolokike, Kcwitch, Starboychan, 4gunners, Predstan and Shamid)

Fourth, Bukyolami, sorry how your previous GRE score turned out. Contact BF Mafit on the folliwing hotlines. They are genuine. Visit their office if you can on the 3rd floor of Mann House, Ikeja. The process is simple... ( deposit the required amount which should be 45k or otherwise stated, get registered, go sit the exam) that simple.

Fifth, Quoran, sonething tempts me to try and visit you anywhere I can find you... you have diligently researched ways of processing admission in the US. We newcomers must not takr such wealth of ideas for granted. part of why I was tempted to locate you is to get first hand how you scored that high in your GRE and how long it took you to prepare after your first attempt.

Sixth, Daint, how did you pass so much? pls send me links on how to locate the jazz, I need some.

cheers

ABOLORUNKING:
Permit me to say praise the Lord "Hallelujah". I have been following this thread religiously for some time now. But somehow I have refused to share my GRE experience because of my low score.

Prior to my GRE exam I was very optimistic; I believed my minimum score would be 325 dint of my preparation and my practice test scores. However, I got a mediocre score 315. It destabilize me, because I had no contingency plans. My TOEFL score was low too very low. (I dey shame to post am self).

My initial school list was: MIT, UIUC, TAMU, Uni of Texas, Austin and UTK (ESE program at Bredesen Center).

Due to my low GRE score and lack of finance I could only apply to 3 schools - UTK, Tufts University and Uni of Akron (abeg no ask me where this school dey). I applied to RPI (free fee waiver things).

I got a rejection message from Tufts university (expected) march 6.

I later discovered that I mistakenly applied to a wrong program at UTK. I was supposed to apply to the ESE doctoral program at Bredesen Center, but, somehow I mistakenly apply to a different department. Hence, I did not even get the privilege to be rejected because my application was not reviewed.

Mind you, UTK was like my main school. I have already developed camaderie with many graduate students in the program, I talked to about two Nigerians, messaged the recruiter and also, had a prof that asked me to reply. But, my silly mistake denied opportunity to get into this program.

I got admission to Uni of Akron Feb 24th, they said their funding decision will be in later dates, I was hopeful I will get a TA position. Up till now no show, and I do not really like the school.

So I accepted my fate that I won't join Fall 2018 cohort. In fact, I bought "higher everyday" note book to start my GRE practice again with plans for fall19. I had already downloaded galvanize prep, ready4GRE, Manhattan App, Magoosh vocab. I had some text books and I made up my mind to borrow some books from the embassy.


Exactly 7:20pm today while I was reading an article on aeon.co, I received an email from Tuft University (that rejected me before), I became irate, as I thought it was a promotional message or message about our school is this or that. So, I wanted to archive the message without reading it.

But when I opened the email I saw this: "I am writing to you with excellent news from Tufts Mechanical Engineering. The school is able to provide a fellowship to offer you a place in our PhD program! A new source of funding was identified by the School."[[/b]b]

As you must already know I started crying. I called my friend already in the program and told him about it.

My story is getting too long.

Major: Mechanical Engineering
GPA: 4.84/5.0
GRE: 315 - Q 163 and V 152.
Tufts University. PhD Mechanical Engineering
Funding: fellowship

I name drop on my application to Tuft, which made the grad coordinator to ask one of her advisee (a Nigerian bearing thesame name with my paddy) if he knows me and he said no. My friend gave me this info last week and he had to email the grad coord on my behalf (he kept this away from me) telling her the he knows me and that he was the person I was referring on my SOP. He almost told her I am the best thing since slice bread.

Many thanks to Time2Smile, reDazey (My paddy, the news sweet her pass me self), Scholastica16. And everyone.

I have very sorry for not catching you guys up soon enough.

God is faithful! After giving up.

Fall 2018
Yes we Fit.

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Predstan: 8:17pm On Apr 30, 2018
Anyone who can help? I don't find this GRE verbal section interesting at all.. How do I improve, my exam is on the 2nd of July. I can't even comprehend any passage when I read them less of picking out what the author might be saying... My sentence completion is also poor. I have learnt the strategies but vocabularies are just too much and I forget too quick...

The Quant section is getting more interesting.. I had my first simulation before reading and got a score of 153 in d quant section. I know I will improve to a higher score before d test.

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by elevatedmind: 9:34am On May 02, 2018
I took my GRE two weeks ago. Didn't get a stellar score 307 (155Q 152V). I'm dropping my experience so that others can learn from my mistakes given the fact that I have gotten a lot of info from this trend.

My prep was good, there was a lot of improvements. I had 308 in my first powerprep and this was two months to the actual exam. Subsequently, I had 318 and 316 in ETS paper test and powerprep 2 a week to the actual exam.

What blew my prep was I didn't know when to quit. I was still going at my normal pace (reading 24/7 including night time) so a night to the exam I couldn't get 4hrs sleep. I went to the center struggling to get little sleep by any possible means (during the bus driver, while waiting for the exam to begin at the centre).

When the first math section came...... Damn......I was struggling with simple questions (2 mins passed)..... Next two math sections were medium difficulty (I knew I blew it). I later got out of the center and solved one of the question (if I post it here, you go laugh my flop die).

My advice to prospective takers is try and get enough rest to avoid throwing away weeks of prep and know when to let go during the test. Also, this trend has everything you need to Ace the test and take full length practice tests.

Also, many thanks to ponpon for the registration and to the many egbons in the house.

Finally I have written GRE. tongue
I just wrote mine over an hour ago and didn't meet close to my expectations.
Nice one elevatedmind for sharing. We'll just keep trying and hoping.
My scores are:
154V, 157Q. Waiting for the AWA.
The exam seemed far tougher than I anticipated. The sequence was VQVQV.
I started practising over two months back when I scored 308 on PowerPrep.
My practise tests last week and Monday (2days back) where about 320-323, so when I saw my scores it was somewhat depressing. My resolve is not broken. grin
For those yet to write, practise hard and rest well as elevatedmind mentioned. Endeavour to be at the test venue in time to collect your thoughts.
Thanks to everyone who gave out a helping hand through your advice and materials. wink

All the best to those ahead!!!
Cheers!!!
