1. You can be admitted in the US for data analytics masters. You will just have to take 3 to 5 undergraduate pre-requisite depending on your school and background experience.

2. You can't have problem at the embassy as long as you can defend the career switch.

3.for full scholarships, you can get a cgpa based funding or non-academic graduate assistant. Reason is because you are switching to a new field different from your undergraduate, you won't be able to get teaching assistant or research assistant because these requires you to have UG related experience
So my lack of experience and undergraduate degree won't be a problem?

Not at all.
I have a new friend here on nairaland coming to southern arkansas University this coming fall (hopefully she'll get her visa) for master in computer information system (data science option). She also had chemistry undergraduate degree.

You are not alone. And trust me, you will be fine.

So i was lucky to register for the SAT exam today but an incident occurred which kind of baffled me .When i finished inputing my account card details , they simply made the withdrawal without sending anything about OTP. I was just wondering if American banking system is really that porous.

PS: i used Access bank debit card so i guess any Visa or MasterCrad is good to go

Good to hear.

I had a similar issue last year when I was paying application fee to a particular school. In fact I was concerned that I had to go to my bank. The problem is not about American Banking System, it is with the particular site you paid to. Some site's security are set that they simply dont ask for OTP, so if the security doesnt require it, your bank too allows the transaction to proceed. One reason why we should always keep our card details safe. However, you will rarely see e-commerce sites with such lax security

Wow, This is good news! never thought college board could pull this off this year, at least not until a vaccine has been discovered.

I don't know how super scoring works, I'd have registered again as I need to improve my SAT points.
Should I resit SAT test and score below my present points, do I get to choose which test score to send?

Peeps, Sorry for bothering you. I somehow Forgot google has most answers. and I didn't have to delete the quoted comment as someone may learn from it.

"colleges considers your highest section scores across all the dates you took the SAT. Rather than confining your scores to one particular date, these schools will take your highest section scores, forming the highest possible composite score".

Yes. I would advise those having issues with GMAT to take GRE. I've taken both, and it took me not that much effort to ace GRE with 99%ile on both quant and verbal. But GMAT is a real beast both the quant and verbal. Just that I loved the intellectual challenge of GMAT even though it was a real battle. I know some Africans who got full funding into top 50 MBA programs but they did well on GRE.



Bros I hail ooo

Even with the relatively high time allowed in GMAT

Please ooo, advisers and gurus in the house, kindly advise me on this. I no sabi anything oo. Na beg I dey beg. Let me quicky apprise you on the following. I have been admitted to the following schools for fall 2020:
(1) Rowan University ( MS Data Analytics, awaiting GA)-
(2)Mercyhurst University (Ms. Data Science)-awaiting GA
(3) Bowling Green State University (MS Data Science)- awaiting GA
(4) NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY (MS Information Systems)

Here is my thinking:
(1) Due to this extraordinary time, I want to defer the admissions
(2) Due to the paucity of funds, I want to make Northwest Missouri state Uni my final bus stop. since it is cheaper even without funding. But they do award GA second semester and they have on-campus jobs.

Please note I have the following pending
(a) Grand valley state University (MS Applied Computer Science, Ms. Health informatics (just a trial)). I got a reject for MS Data Science and Analytics
(b) Cleveland State University (Ms. Computer information systems, Ms. Software Engineering)
(c) Southeast Missouri State University (MNS Mathematics).

I NEED YOUR CANDID ADVICE PLSSS. Is there anyone in this schools I have been admitted including Grand Valley State University.

Cleveland State University is broke. Our CIS dept have No funding. They will prolly admit you but without funding and non will be forthcoming.

I'll advice you to take any offer that comes with funding. If all offers are the same, I'll advice you to take Northwest Missouri state University Ms Information systems degree if the program is being done in their business school. I won't advice anyone to go for a data science or business analytics degree over a business school run information systems degree except he/she has years of working experience in hard core analytics.

IS degree gives you more flexibility than data science or business analytics alone. There's a rumour that Covid 19 has burst the data science hype. If business are broke, then businesses won't be experimenting much on data science. So it's better to go for IS degree that you can venture into data engineer, DBMS, data analytics, data science, cloud computing and even software development

Hello, Nostradamus.

I didn't think it was possible to write exams on the 29th August as I thought that one wasn't written international. Did you register using their website or you used an agent, and what materials are you going to use?

I hope to write the exams on the 26th sept or 3rd Oct.

I also use Khan academy, Uworld,1600.0i.The materials in bracket are good but they are not from college board,so be careful how you use them
