Please u gat example of schools dat accept make I disturb them small

Since you are a "biochemist", I would say you are talking to the wrong person. Imperiouxx will be in the best position to answer that.

OjaP: Yvette: Yes, I agree with you. Masters is all you need here to get a job unless you want to be a researcher or work in research based institutions. The 3-5 years dedicated for a PhD can be used to gather years of experience under your belt since "experience is the best teacher" especially in America.

And NO, peeps with 2.1 or even 2.2 from Nigeria get into PhD program straight with their BS from Naija.

P:S - I hope to get a doctorate degree soonest though not because it will make me sellable but because I just want to be a PhD holder........lol

What is 2:1 and 2:2 equivalent to? I mean in US GPA system?

Nigeria first class is the excellent that US divided into c u m laudes: c u m laude (3.50-3.64), magna c u m laude (3.65-3.79), and summa c u m laude (3.80-4.00).
Nigeria 2:1 is US 3.0 to 3.49
Nigeria 2:2 is US 2.9 to 2.5



@buka,

Check previous page, I gave you the address of the head of Chemistry & Biochem of SDSU.

Please am confused here, there are 2 SDSU san diego and south dakota both ending with state uni SU

Hahaha!! I tried to get an MBA in Global Energy Mgmt 2 yrs ago just cos' it sounds good..lol, and got discouraged because of the Almighty GMAT. [s]I'm a total id.iot when it comes to Maths.[/s] Quit and went to field of practical Technology. Same way my Dad pressures me to round up this Masters. I'm sure its so that he can brag about it. Now I've got Law School in mind because my whole life, I've been told that I'll make an excellent Attorney so ... lemme take a shot at it!

I think most companies esp MNCs want to 'catch them young' and also grad students right out of college. I got my first job offer with KPMG in my senior year of college. Entry-level job with decent salary and I went buckwild .

You are so on point. I want to pursue a PhD too because my father wants his son to be a PhD holder, and also because peeps back home are over-educated. More than 80% of my friends are currently working on their PhD. I actually gained admission to two PhD schools but had to defer because I will never quit my job for full research. I am still talking to one of them to see if it will be possible for them to collaborate with my company and work from here..maybe I can just report to my Professor once a month, I know its doable....lol.

Yes, most companies like "fresh bloods", and if looking for experience, go for Masters + experience/ some go for bachelors + plenty years of experience (depending on the company).

2:1 is equivalent to a minimum of 3.0 USA GPA
2.2 ranges from 2.5 to 2.9

Some strong 2.2 can make 3.0 US equivalent if converted by WES.

Its south dakota, the school looks mild with their requirements 3.0 gpa, GRE etc WES hmmm thanks mate

But I don't understand the part of submit degree cert do they mean I will send dem ma original certificate no way

Sister Yvete, tnx once again for dat material U sent Me o... God bless U plenty plenty.

imperiouxx: Nigeria first class is the excellent that US divided into c.um laudes: c.um laude (3.50-3.64), magna c.um laude (3.65-3.79), and summa c.um laude (3.80-4.00).
Nigeria 2:1 is US 3.0 to 3.49
Nigeria 2:2 is US 2.9 to 2.5

OjaP: 2:1 is equivalent to a minimum of 3.0 USA GPA
2.2 ranges from 2.5 to 2.9

I guess a First Class is from 3.5 - 4.0. Hmnnn I've always thought that a Magma c.um laude is the Nigerian First class. Wow!

bukahands: Me english disturbs me even this GRE sef, the english part na war all this comprehension blah blah

Loool all that archaic vocabulary. Gruber's verbal and AWA section is great to practice with. Timing is the problem with the GRE.
Success to GRE test takers this year!

olarwarlay: Sister Yvete, tnx once again for dat material U sent Me o... God bless U plenty plenty.

looool...you are really funny. But I will beg you to watch what you're saying. If there is anything like discouragement I haven't seen it here since few days past. Or you mean advising someone on direct PhD is discouraging the person? or given address of the school and breakdown of the program is what you called discouragement?. Moreover, I don't see what you wrote up there as an advice or encouragement rather than another begin of havoc and controversy. Take note abeg ma'am.
