Please do better than a 310. The way the GRE works sometimes is that you could get quite lower scores than you anticipated (I can personally attest to this fact). I believe you hope to get some funds from the university (Partial or full). There is much competition for Graduate Assistantships, especially at good schools. It's better you have a score you may not use, than not having the score you need to be selected for funding.

What's your research interest? Or better still google online for USA University Professors in .... field, e.g., University Professor of Sedimentology in USA. You would have to do most of the research on your own, like going through each researcher's profile to see if you both share similar research interests. Also check out Linkedin for students, especially Nigerian Grad Assistants, for first hand experiences. They could advise on the best researchers (funding and character) to contact. Go to "msinus" and "Geology gradcafe" for profiles of admitted, rejected and funded students in different universities to know where you stand (Safe, Moderate or Ambitious choices).

Lastly, you would send numerous emails ( and I mean a lot) with probably a few responses. These responses should guide your choice eventually. There are a lot of email samples online. Just tailor them to your taste.

All the best wink

P.S. I am also for Geology (although Fall 2019)!!!

Thanks bro. I will keep working hard . I just want to know if the GPA is good enough to guarantee funding and admission

You MSc GPA looks good. I'm not sure about the undergrad. But I believe you'll get a good school with your GPA. Although it still balls down to you making some research. Contact graduate coordinators of programs your interested in. They should give you a better insight than what is in their admission requirements. Just work on other aspects of your application.

All the best!

You are very gifted! All your scores and GPA are seriously not smiling! Shoot for all the top 10 schools, I would be surprised if you don't get admitted into all! The sky is truly your starting point.
I am going to rewrite, I'll follow your advice and study plan religiously.

So I wrote my GRE Today,
For a little back story, I just graduated a little over three months ago, and got a job immediately as a software engineer, at a fast moving company, with periodic crazy deadlines. So, I had to squeeze in time during mornings at nights to prepare, and learn as much vocabulary as I could.
Fast forward to test Day, I arrived at Dragnet prometric 2 hours before the test, did a quick review, and was first on the line. Got the quant section first, let's just say, it was deadlier than I thought, too many geometry problems, and i loathe euclidean circle geometry a lot. I moved on to the verbal; few mistakes here and there, but I just basically free styled.
At the end of the test, I was assured that I had done very terribly, and was superbly afraid to click "report scores". Then I clicked
QUANTITATIVE - 163
VERBAL - 161
TOTAL - 324
I feel i did terrible in the quant, as i focused too much on the verbal during prep, but I hope to never write GRE ever again, I accept my 324 "laidat".

I guess it is the right time to revisit this thread. �

All I see is a signature GRE score; 331! @user4321 you have successfully taken your profile to "Next Level". Congratulations!
And @akinsolaoyelola your score is equally outstanding! Congrats!

In line with what most other scholars advised, you guys should make best use of these scores by contacting faculties in your target schools and ensuring your essays are equally superb. My thought is that since 311 gave people like me funding(not in MIT, Standord, etc. ☺), 320+ can give you guys funding in any US school.

Good luck to you guys and those yet to take their GRE and TOEFL.

Please, I need your help.
Please, Don't mind how undecided my question sounds. I'm a novice in this matter.

And also , when is the best month to register for TOEFL and write it.


Thanks wonderful people...
First decide the university list you wanted to get into. Check the deadlines for for each one. If your application deadline is August 1st just plan to for the exam 2 to 3 months ahead so that you'll be prepared.
Wonder [url=galvanizetestprep.com/blogs/toefl-preparation/]how to prepare for the TOEFL exam[/url], get the resources and tips out there and plan to prepare for each section in an ultimate way.
Good luck.

Are the schools you are applying to asking for TOEFL? Do you have the resources for it? If you do, why not? Why give yourself a reason to believe you were disqualified for a reason you can fix?

What schools did you apply to when you took the GRE? Your GPA and GRE are great enough for most schools but a lot of things go into it. What area of research are you looking at etc.

I think you should make a comprehensive list of schools online using google to whittle them down based on GPA. Your GRE will not hinder you.

You should definitely look at Iowa State University and Louisiana State University.
