virgin ice: For gre test takers dat stil av tym to study bfor d test date, try. "cracking the revised version" by princeton. I used it for d verbal aspect most, it was helpful. For those going for phd, folo ur heart and wen u get to d river, u wee cross afterall d pipu doin der phd direct don't av 2 HEADS and dey r surviving. Am 25yrs and I can't wait to start doin research and experience it all cos I bliv it will b fun. Der is nothing like doing wat u want and succeedin @ it. So house, stop all d controversy abt masters and phd instead let's focus on getting evribody to der destination...wat I love abt naija peeps is der spirit to succeed, e dey ginger me grin As for d cgpa tingy, pls go to google and if u no 'all' ur result and course codes n topics u will b able to convert ur gp to 4.0. I converted mine wc was a 4.29/5.0 ~ 3.2/4.0 lipsrsealed so goodluck wit d conversion tingy :'

Good advice you gave here but please do not be carried away by the funny saying in Nigeria that "studying abroad is easy". Nevertheless, I can assure you that it takes an enduring spirit to survive; and I am sure you would since you have one.

biofem2000: Happy new year Nairalanders!!,!,!,!,!,!,!
I got lost a couple of weeks ago... Well I was missing on the conversations and every time I try to post it seems there's something else everyone's talking about. Oh we'll.... And I've been lazy too.
So, my sister inlaw got her visa this morning. I passed on the nairaland bug to her like I did for my sister and brother and.... Voila.... It worked.
She was asked a few questions. When did your brother( DH) get to the US? What does he do ( DH is the sponsor)? Why did you chose accounting? What did you do after your NYSC?
She said it was less than two minutes.
The general advise I gave her was to not talk like a desperado, don't give the impression that you must get to the US tonight, be confident, appeal to the officers emotions when you get the opportunity, relax, smile, it is easier than having to answer to God, do not lie however, do not sell yourself short. Spice up your experience, talk like a professional, don't talk like you just rolled out of bed, talk like you know what you are doing/ saying. Don't say I finished from Unijos, or UI...it is University of Jos,MAALU ( oops!!!!!!!), University of Ibadan, the Polytechnic Ibadan ( not Ibadan poly or Mapol.

Have a great freezing day! .....well... It's way below freezing on the east coast. Brutally cold!
Welcome back ma and conrats!

I would suggest you take your time to study for the exam and don't rush things. Perhaps, your uneasiness and eagerness are the reasons for your low performance.

OMG!! Are you serious with that? Lolll. My dear, please leave that out of your mind. The educational system of Nigeria is very different from that of the US. If you really do want to undertake study in the US, you had better start purging yourself of the 'runs' mentality ingrained in many Nigerians. Their educational system is, by and large, impartial and free and fair. What you put in determines your output. The more effort you put in the more the rewards.

Schools usually specify the amount of the words and number of spaces. I once wrote a 2 paged SOP and I got the admission.

@bodeplot. U will surely get d admsn u want By God's grace(AMEN). I think u shuld write a detailed SOP and give som pipu u really respect to help edit it, den go tru d school's requirement because imperiouxx said it all. They mostly require ow many words buh if ur school did nt specify(like mine) den u shudnt make it too lengthy(2pages) buh it shud b detailed. Ur course is in line wit mine, I wrote on my research, IT, n all d equipements I know ow to use. Also on d school(KU), and wat my research go do for naija peeps. As for emailing profs, I emailed 5peeps relevant to my proposed research requestin to b my supervisor (somtimes dey may reply) none replied me buh I tink dey all knew. pls go ahead, it worked for 3peeps I knw includin me. Try uni of wyoming (gre requirement for masters 291, phd 308 toefl speakin (or listenin) 24, etc for scholarship
