Hi folks,
I cannot but say this thread is really edifying.
I have a very strong CGPA and I'm trusting God in securing a full scholarship for my masters outside Nigeria. I have been searching for schools in the US for quite a while now, but i haven't seen one that offers full scholarship in my major - Biotechnology. I recently came across a university in Saudi Arabia that offers full scholarship, but I'm kinda naive.
Please what's your take on that, and I'd really appreciate your advice.
Thanks.

Lol I told you naw. If you had gone to the nearest post office you would have demanded for it & gotten it before now. Those guys take time before they dispatch.

As regards funding, I applied to very very few schools so I'm currently on 40 days prayer and white fasting. Even as I type this, I'm not okay in my body. Only carrot & orange since yesterday.

The waiting is hard. What schools are you expecting decisions from? You should join the MS in US Fall 2016 group on Facebook; lots of results are posted there. (Gradcafe results are usally biased towards PhD and top schools.)

Do you have a gre account?? the first step in registering for the gre exam yourself is to create a gre acct by clicking on the "mygre" link. After which you can pay with a visacard or via paypal.

I'm also a URI hopeful- Msc Mech Eng. Great school with good funding prospects. Out-of-state tuition is high though. When were you placed on the waiting list?

Depends on what is stated in the department/grad Sch admission requirement. If they say prospective student could be admitted to phd with with BS then you could give it a try. But remember you have to have a very strong credentials ( SOP, LOR, GPA, GRE). You can dust up your BS thesis and maybe write a paper out of it and publish in one of the local journals. Or you may want to write something new just to bolster your application. Writing paper is fun.

Hello all. Please, what's the benefit of the GRE paper based test and over the computer version?

For paper based, if you do very well in the first section of Verbal and quantitative, you will not be having a more difficult second section. The difficulty level is almost same for all sections. Unlike the computer based, where you have to deal with a more difficult upon doing well in the previous. The difficulty level increases when you do very well in a previous session.

The first picture is what I got after filling out the personal details, I just clicked on "I understand and agree", then clicked on "proceed to check out" in the 2nd pic, it then redirected me to the third pic, where I can either choose to pay via visa or pay pal, the 4th pic is what you should have if you selected visa while you should get the fifth pic if you opted for pay pal.

For those of who who are planning to write GRE of any form,be it paper based or computer based,I beg u in the name of God,abeg make una read ooooo,work on your speed. If u r not too conversant with the computer,better start learning how to type fast,else simply register for paper based. Had mine yesterday and to God be d glory it was okay. Hoping for a good result. But I must emphasize, read ooooo. Practice practice practice espcly prime numbers,integers,probability,and many more. Learn no vocabs. Its an exam one can attack with due preparation. All the best to u.
