Post from LinkedIn by Karen Johannesson Professor at University of Massachusetts, School for the Environment,

"I am looking for a PhD student to study thioarsenate complexes in natural water. This is a funded project that requires analytical chemistry and experimental skills. The project is similar to our work to measure thiotungstate forming constants that was published in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta in 2014."

For those that don't have access to Magoosh and other question sources, please use gre.kmf.com it has all magoosh questions, kaplan, princeton and some other test companies.

You could sign up, solve the questions online to give you access to your error log which is very important in boosting your score, but i'll advsise you just do the KMF questions, they took good questions from test materials including OG.

CONTD

I had to start searching for other schools in December as the American dream and Funding hope were already doing anyhow, now it dawned on me I had to do TOEFL. The major gist was TOEFL was easy and I would pull a 100+ with one week practice and I did, because I was travelling for 3 weeks.

I applied to University of Southern Mississippi I got accepted, but the I'm sorry " we received the most competitive sets of applicants this year and your application ranked highly but I'm sorry you could not secure an advisor at this point but you should when you come bla bla bla" cool story....but them try, they actually posted the admission letter to my house.

I got rejected by University of Rhode Island(very competitive program for oceanography I guess) and my application wasn't processed by University of South Alabama because they said I didn't submit one recommendation, this was very painful thinking LSU admitted me with just two recommendations out of three.

I am still waiting for University of Massachusetts Dartmouth to decide.....

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

I was already losing hope as UMASSD was the only school left, slowly I started preparing for another GRE. Finished the Manhattan 8 books, moved to Magoosh online premium prep. During the period of wait I actually learnt so many things. I learnt that funding can only be given when available, you have to make your application stand out and match with the interest of the funder.....

I learnt about searching for advertised positions online using associations job posting in my field/area of interest. I sent series of mails to positions I found online, everything 'Unfortunately, Sorry, At this point'. So I started thinking about Spring and this brought everything in order. How I applied for advertised positions changed. I mailed some professors at Oregon State University, generic replies 'Unfortunately, Sorry, At this point', but there was someone I pressed further, I pressed his mumu button, I told him how I felt comfortable contacting him, how he would make a good advisor bla bla bla....na him baba help me change my story.....

He said " Make all your app materials (GRE, CV, ati be be lo) in a single pdf when you mail a prof and name it as your first_name.application_materials so he could always check it easily when anything comes up or if he wants to refer you to someone else, make your cover letter as detailed as possible because some may have just one chance to have an impression about you, make your cover letter show your background, knowledge about field, why you stand out and future plans"

KA BOOM, I sent this to two positions advertised and I got two interviews!!!!

Nicholls State University and Southern Illinois University....

First interview Friday, the next monday...The interview for the first was on skype lasted almost an hour, questions were " Tell me about your background(discussed important courses, seminar and project), he then described the project and he was comfortable with my background probably because of my definition of terms, description of problems that there was even something he mentioned I had forgotten and he said I'm sure you would know it. " He asked about my future career plans", "If I was currently employed", "Why i chose to study in the US", "If the project was in line with my future plans: I just say God punish devil for my mind, see talk ooooooh....." , " Tested my knowledge on basics of geography using weather and location" and some personal gistsss.. I asked questions and I couldn't even prepare for the next interview on monday because he gave me some papers to read and just tell him what I felt about it.

Second interview, I had been calling her sir and he turned out to be a she..lmao.........I first seize, I also changed interview venue due to my village people trying to pull string, her approach was different, she summarized the project, asked what I felt about it, the volume of my earpiece was low, another hand of my village people, I just discussed the topic because most positions advertised in my field were related to wetland restoration, nutrient enrichment bla bla bla..... Asked about my background, future plans, project, funny question was hobby : I bleeped up I laughed, I said football, reading, DJ, she shock!, she said so you don't like cooking, she explained how cooking was like being scientific, being able to mix up things, I just shake head sey this mama no know naija way, she asked about how i see myself going to grad school and she noticed i didn't take any GIS course....

I was able to get the position as Nicholls State University, it was a plus for me because it was the same project one of the profs at the dept I was admitted to LSU advertised and I didn't even hear from and the funding odikwa gallant, but with funding comes responsibility. Next phase loading.

to be contd..

my mail i send out is below

Dear Dr Do Good,

My name is Wizkid, I have a BS in HAHAHA from University of Lagos, Nigeria. I am writing as regards your advertisement on the Texas A&M Wildlife and Fisheries Job board for an MS research assistant position in your lab. I recognize and value the importance that a research graduate assistantship has when it comes to the educational and professional benefits especially one that is intertwined with your academic and professional prospects

During my undergraduate degree I experienced multiple facets of research according to specific courses and graduation requirement (undergraduate project). They imbued in me a holistic idea of research in marine sciences but I was able to understand that the crux of research is in the methodology and with the influence of technology on science these methods have become more quantitative, computational and analytical in nature hence I continually build my knowledge in areas such as statistics, data analysis, statistical software and required computer language. My desire to undertake a master’s program with thesis is in order to sharpen my acumen in aquatic sciences research and put me on the path in making original significant contributions in fisheries resource management and sub-fields of population dynamics, ecosystem based fisheries management studies and modeling, hence would make me more equipped in forecasting, mitigating or proffering solutions to the effects of human activities and climate change that leads to destruction of aquatic ecosystems.

I have a good background knowledge about nutrient cycling because my compulsory undergraduate seminar was about Eutrophication in Nigerian coastal waters which I presented to the department under the supervision of Prof.Davido. Eutrophication was an intriguing topic because it addresses the interplay between nutrient enrichment, physicochemical parameters and biota of ecosystems.
I was particularly fascinated about how nutrients enrichment affects the biological community which sometimes leads to hypoxia or anoxia in very extreme conditions; introduces invasive species and changed the top-down and bottom-up relationship in the food web over time.

My research interest lie in the field of aquatic resource management and sub-fields of population dynamics, ecosystem based fisheries management and ecosystem modeling, effects and mitigation of anthropogenic activities, nutrient loading and climate change on aquatic biota and their environment, this has been piqued by my interest in solving problems using predictive or simulative methods.

I have strong mathematical and computational skills, a strong background in aquaculture, marine biology,statistics, fisheries ecology, botany, hydrobiology, oceanography, phycology, water quality and pollution control.

Attached is my Cv, Unofficial Transcript, Gre scores and contact information for three references.

I know you are very busy, so i'll appreciate any time you can give me


Sincerely,

9ice

Those are links to magoosh full premium videos. They are same with the ones you'll pay for and you'll use almost same data to watch or even more. You can practice all magoosh questions in GRE.kmf.com

But if you can afford the magoosh, pay for one month. Download these videos and watch well and use the one month subscription to do all question sets on their site.

Or just go for the 6 months subscription.

All in All, you can prep with or without magoosh. Manhattan books are everywhere, ets og and workbooks, cracking the GRE by Princeton, Nova GRE course prep are good materials. At least there is a popular YouTube guy that got perfect score and said he used only barron.

Start prep while you can and with what you have. *standard*... I'm actually thinking this belief of using magoosh adds to confidence which is good for the exam
