There is this saying that says ''If we don't fight we have failed, but if we fight we can either fail or succeed''. So forget the tuition part for now and put in some work. First, you need to decide on the course you want to study, To save you some stress start from this website http://graddecision.org/ to know the application process, So step 1) Decide on the course you want to study 2) Search for schools using a)www.msinus.com (open this website with a laptop, you should see a list of school and ranking for some of the most common courses, you can start from there b)www.gradschools.com c)www.google.com (you can just type 'msc in bla bla in the us in google' d) www.usnews.com e) www.4icu.org . 3) check up the website of the schools you find, to see the requirements. most schools will require GRE and some will require both gre and toefl . 4) Register for standardize exam and take it. You can register for gre as soon as you are ready and prepared to take the exam. Its done online at www.ets.org. You can also get all the information you need about the exam on the website. You will get adequate materials to prepare for the exam in this dropbox I createdhttps://www.dropbox.com/sh/t9ot6d07hp1lkm7/AADL_dTihjEvNBRCBsmAcoXja?dl=0 

TOEFL is an English test required by some US universities. though, some schools waive due to the fact that Nigeria is an Anglophone country.
For toefl, all you need are the speaking noteful videos in the link below, the ets toefl guide is enough to ace the exam for other sections. Just download the toefl ETS Guide from there website and the simulation test.

As for the Tuition, if you have good results (GRE, GPA, Toefl), SOP and LOR; US schools do offer assistanship to graduate students. This can either be Research Assistant, Teaching Assistant or Administrative Assistant. Depending on the school, if you get an assistantship, your Tuition will be waived and you will also be paid a monthly stipend that can take care of your living expenses. One advice, once you shortlist schools, send emails to the grad cord of the schools and ask specific questions relating to that course and funding opportunities, be very explicit.

Lastly, there are basically 2 admission session in the US, Spring (Jan) and Fall (August). Schools admit more students in Fall, so Its advisable you plan towards Fall 2018. If you plan to resume in fall 2018, make sure you submit all your application documents before ending of Dec 2017. If you don't give it a trial, you will never know.My philosophy in life is to always do my part, with that I don't get to regret later. Above all, if you believe in God,pray to him..if not, good for you.

Oga, I love your analysis but never underestimate the power of 'your village people'.

luminouz:
All d guys above me are jokers....
D poster suffered from an allergic reaction to an insect bite....our allergies are different from human to human....n such insect bites could initiate a subcutaneous swelling which in seconds make almost every part of d body to be more swollen.....
Native remedies I know of include palm oil due to d presence of compounds which have a laxative effect on the swollen cells n cause em to deflate back to normal n this could range from mere hours to a day depending on d severity of the allergy trigger!!!
Nigga was prolly scared seeing a Frankenstein version of himself n thought demons were after him....

Nawa for everyone claiming witches n wizards,God n demons o.....did these guys attend secondary school at all? Its basic biology..

What's your point?

dodobytes:
All this analysis of scores and state of origin won't help nobody.Whatever you scored,quit the moaning and griping. Move on to the next challenge in life.

Stop acting like the dude who is happy when everyone in the neighborhood don't have light,when he doesn't have.

We lose some we win some...learn the lesson and soldier on.Gdluck to those writing tmrw.

Hello bro, I would advise to go through this thread from page 1 as your first step towards the USA dream.

The best time to write the GRE would be when you know that you've prepped well and the session that you're also targeting.
Are you targeting spring 2018 (January) or Fall 2018 (August/ September)?

As regards tutorials, I don't know about your basic grasp with Basic Maths and intermediate/high level level vocabs but I could say that you don't really need a class room tutorials, there are various smart ways to do that and magoosh videos is a great alternative.

emmalexbaba:
hello guys , I need some clarification about GRE exams, I want to apply for us university next year , I really want to know when is it advisable to write the GRE exams and is tutorial really necessary ?

Lionessza:
LMFAO, bus love. I met the guy I mentioned in my post on one of those long bus trips . We were coming from the EC , he was going to kempton and me Pta . Lol, we talked the whole trip like we had known each other for years and funny thing when we arrived at parkstation he was supposed to get off but he decided to go with me to pta lol and catch a taxi there to kempton. He was so cute and could hold a conversation on any subject, I felt like I had found a husband even though I wasn't looking for one . The following day he visited and we spent the whole day together gallavanting.


Lol , I know someone who is married to her bus trip lover so those long trips of ours can really pay lol.

Which transport company are you using?
