Most good schools require GPA of 3.0/4.0 for admission. That is like 3.0 out of 5.0
However, a third class graduate could get admission into some less competitive programs.
The higher the GPA, the better your chances. Funding is even more tricky.

tensazangetsu:
Actually 3.0 on 4.0 is equivalent to 4.0 on 5.0. My school uses a 4.0 scale and most top schools I have written always want a minimum of a 3.0 but am in ghana anyway.

yuddy2:
You are right, I have a 3.51/5 GPA and I applied to university of Idaho, the program needs a 3/4 GPA. I was denied. Denial reasons-No Faculty, No funding, Poor GPA. I was heart broken

We should try and form a synergy here rather than just drop your email to enable you to be added on the Facebook page.

Most of us are studying :gaining experience and having little problems... This thread should really focus on *achieving high gre scores *

Naija, let us share little things we know would be helpful to people, who are yet to write the exam.

tensazangetsu:

I think a 3.75 will suffice. Most schools ask for 75 percent of your undergraduate gpa. A 75 percent of 5.0 is 3.75.

I second that. ... perhaps those of us preparing to write GRE should start posting questions here. What do you suggest?

Nice job done here by the OP and a host of others God bless you guys....

Hoping to take GRE by July for Fall 2017. For those hoping to get admitted next fall I will advice you start working from now.. Research well on schools based on admissibility, funding & GRE requirements. Create folders based on schools you wish to apply and keep every information you need. Don't apply to any school until you are sure.. Some schools don't have full tuition waivers for TAs will some only offer partial tuitions or equate them to instate students... You must gun for schools that offer full tuition waivers, this way things won't be to difficult for you later..Try as much as possible to put up a very strong application through don't joke with LOR SOP or its equivalent! America is not like Nigeria any little mistake and you are off the hook! Apply to as many schools as possible some schools have application fee waivers while other have application fees as low as $25. Finally put God first in all you applications n you will not regret it in the end

Regards

Yeah. That's a good idea. Also lessons learned during prep and applications.

sirRiddy:
Good advice and good luck to you

Which text is the best for Data interpretation questions and Reading Comprehension...

I'm good on other aspects but these parts really consume time. I read the crunchprep RC page, it has helped a little.

People who have excelled in this test, please how did you tackle those sections

ponpon:
Dicapino thanks a lot, meaning I'll stick to 5lb Manhattan, since most high scoring individuals have testimonies about it..

And my use of Gre vocabulary has increased, I used Kaplan grouped words towards the end of the book, sought for their meanings and Gre synonyms.

Word power made easy is bae, you just get happy as words unmask it's meaning to you during text completion and sentence equivalence...

Am way addicted to nairaland.com, and I actually spend more time on here than reading. Lmao... I just wish there could be timely GRE articles posted here that could at least benefit the mind, reading skills and vocabulary, new yorker and the rest I exhaust my free usage too early

hello, sorry it took me awhile to respond. Yes, certain universities can admit international students without GRE. However I would advice you write the GRE, as it would give you a better chance of securing admission and fuNding in the better schools.
