It's good, that the thread survived the onslaught by the scammers, looking to bilk folks of funds budgeted for exams.

Recent post(s) asking for school suggestion, just to summarize. You could start the simple search online. But to make reference to a few links. 1.Google "Msinus" and read the section of schools according to GRE scores.
2. Google "Gradcafe results" and then search in the Tab specifics to your course. Click on profiles to estimate what school is a fair selection. Gpa's are on the 4 point scale. Go onto "wes igpa free converter" to convert the GPA on a 4 point scale.
3. Check Twitter, advertised positions for graduate schools are on there.
4. Check USnews for school lists and then go to the school website(s) to see research interest and requirements.(A lot of questions about requirements, they are school specific so detail that individually for each school).

Plan your approach, the GRE, the TOEFL if required, WES if your schools require it.

Overall, not to call anyone out, and I understand how strenuous the process might seem, most questions I see on here and the USA visa thread have been answered over and again, even searching the Nairaland Education or Travel section could give relevant answers. Be delicate, in the process, take responsibility and be intentional, also having other people interested helps. That way you inform each other. Godspeed in your grad school pursuit folks.

Yes, it isn't something I would advise you against. Regarding the proof of payment, you will also get it for sure.

On your exam day, you don't have much to take along. International passport and Confirmation email or Authorization voucher (print out) are the two major requirements.

Hello All.

I registered GRE in November for my ward using Affordable test and just came back to check this thread after his ETS account was blocked due to pending payments (for the second time).

I contacted AffordableTests again based on ETS prompt and he blocked my number on Whatsapp.

Payment was made into a GTB account when the HighStreet Mico Finance bank account he gave didn't go through.

Account: 0037065259
Name: Omoyele omonira jude
Bank : gtbank

I just checked the details and this same name is on nairaland and found he is the same person @YelGold.

Jude or whatever you call yourself now that I know how to get you in Ibadan/Ife your scamming days are numbered.

Well done Sir on your good work. Make sure that you track him down. He also scammed me too on same GRE registration stuff. I don't know the benefit people derive in engaging in shady deals. He ruined my chances of getting admission. He scattered my plans. I had to change plan by going for schools that don't need GRE while I have a GRE score with an ETS blocked account.

Pls are you or anyone here interested in having a study partner or we can create a study group on any app to converse and share ideas, questions and all. Especially with this Lockdown and the plenty free time that has been made available to us.

I remember when I was looking for TOEFL agent... he contacted... but as a long time member of this great Nairaland, I was skeptical...

First off, the international number he sent turned me off. I didn’t even bother to respond to his email

You can even imagine, he asked you not to fill the transaction description

It’s sad that this happened to you... I pray he gets a taste of his own bitter medicine sooner than later.

Congrats. You have really good schools on that list but I am not surprised.

I will tell you something though, funding for MSc is hard and it got harder with funding cuts from the government so prepare your mind to really fight and maybe be disappointed if you do not get funded for MSc.

If you get a chance to talk to PIs, pitch PhD dreams to them as those are the only cadre of people to still benefit from the reduced financial grant from the government. Of course, MSc students still do get funded but that number is getting far reduced.

As per Skype interview, the PI is not trying to rate your intelligence. He pretty much got that from your GPA..Test scores and supporting documents. All he would care about is to see if your research experiences match what he is looking out for in research students or if you have something unique that you can bring to his group.

So don't expect him to say "define this, define that". Far from it. He will ask about the research you did, things you figured out and skillsets you possess (like if you are a programmer, or an analyst etc). I don't think you have anything to worry about since I know you know your stuff very well.

Just set a good time, get quality internet service, understand your CV well and talk freely. He is a professional colleague not a Mafioso so treat him as such. In fact, talk to him like you would your age mate even if you should not forget the home training we have received from Nigeria. It will go well.

Cheers.

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Darrnielo(m): 5:25pm On Apr 15, 2020
Hello guys... I am in need of your advice and clarification. I registered with this Affordable Test individual early in January and took the test. I also sent the results to my preferred unis.

Today I received an email from ETS telling me to resolve an issue of outstanding payment and that my scores will be withheld and other services.

The thing is I have received admission from one of the schools I sent the results to. How can I resolve this? Will this affect my admission in any way?

Also I would like to really understand what scam the guy pulled on me and others that have gone through similar situations? How did he book us for an exam without paying?

The Best part is that with their assistance I completed the course in less than 2 months and collected my certificate from World Bank as a certified professional with less than $100.

Good day Nairalanders!
I need your advise

My profile
B. Sc Microbiology (Graduated 5 years ago)
GPA: 4.37/5.00
Intended MSc/ PhD: Microbiology/Molecular Biology
GRE to be written in few months
No Publication
I am torn between applying for MSc or direct PhD because I don't have much research experience.

Please help
Thank you

You can still get research experience with ANY of your research active professors/lecturers there in Naija. Doing literature reviews with them, editing, proofreading, writing introduction etc etc, all count as research experience. From this, you can even get a publication or two.

PhD straight requires BSc...It still means you can earn MSc in the first two years as part of the PhD itself. If you score well on GRE and can crank out some OKaysih pubs with your lecturers at UI/IFE/wherever, I don't see how applying for a PhD would be a problem..PhD has an advantage in that it is often funded, fully.

But if you can get a fully funded Master's, why not

Help me out my people.

I recently graduated with a second class upper 4.02/5.0 in Agricultural economics and extension majoring in extension education.

I read in some portion of the thread that none STEM student looking for masters in the USA do have issues with funding and getting jobs after they finish. Please gurus in the house how true is this.

Asides that please recommend good schools that offer funding for Agric education and educational psychology masters.

Thanks.

Don't be fixated on a particular course if you are looking for full funding. That's one. Two, your GPA is good. You can apply for a PhD in Agric economics and drop out with a master's 2 years in, if you don't want the PhD...Although it's a good idea to earn it.

My suggestions
1. Prepare for 3-4 months for the GRE. Prepare correctly
2. Take the GRE and score >161 Quant and >153 verbal and >4.0 AWA
3. Try to write and publish a paper in Agric economics with your professor/lecturer. This is possible if you are serious
4. Do RA for them or contact me if you want RA opportunity to boost your profile
5. If you have the GRE score and at least one publication in a decent journal (not just any publication), then come back to me. Search for any email that is connected to me...Read my previous posts, you will see email. I will assist you through our group http://baumtenpers.com/. Hopefully, you're still young..

Hello, I discovered that most US schools have started waving GRE, TOEFL and other exams as a requirement towards Fall 2020 admission. However, after securing admission, is it possible to seek for funding without these exams considering the competition involved in seeking for fund? I need advise.
