Greetings folks.

Anyone studying /applying for Construction and Real Estate Management at HTW Berlin.

One of the admission requirements is an 'exposition'. From the details under it, it's similar to a 'Research Proposal', which is very unusual for MSc applications, at least in Germany.

One can't be too certain about what one is expected to do. Hence, my humble appeal for information and guidance from peeps that have 'dusted' it.

Thanks in anticipation.

Quite honestly, I think it unfair as well.

Mind you, that's just ONE insider. The mgt might reconsider their position. Let's hope for the best.

nena2014:

It is unfair. A fair recruitment process is supposed to give all equal chance to prove his or worth. The problem started from last Saturday. Over 200 candidates were invited for interviews at the same time(9.am).provisions would have be made to interview these 200 equally. I mean the two interviews. I did only one interview and it wasn't my fault. Anyway what do I know.
I can't pray for others to perform woefully. If I get saroafrica fine. If not, it's is not the end of my life. But my transport fare dey pain me shaaaa cry. See as I burn money wey I no get.
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Saro Africa Online Aptitude Test Invite by AlphaPen(m): 4:55pm On Apr 26, 2018
Hello.

I am in your category as well.

I however heard from an insider that the performances of the applicants invited for the chat will determine our fate with them. If sterling performances were recorded, we might not be called.

The funny thing is 'should we now be praying that they perform woefully?' ��

To the invited applicants, make sure you read every important info on their website especially the profiles of the directors, because they are ones you are meeting. All in all, pray and be confident.

To my stamped paper mates, if we get called, all good. If we don't, better opportunities ahead.

Peace beautiful people.

Islam for Muslims / Re: My Experience In Nysc Orientation Camp Delta State by AlphaPen(m): 4:15pm On Feb 02, 2018
As salaamu 'alaykum beautiful people.

In this age of intense Islamophobia, which resulted majorly from the negative projection of Islam by the media, it isn't exactly astonishing for non-muslims to speak ill about the religion or its adherents.

However, I put it to you my non-muslim friends.

Have you not ever met a muslim you really like and admire for his/her person and values?

Certainly you have.

Have you ever sought to know about the prisitine Islam from its right sources -Qur'an (with its exegesis) and books of Hadeeth with an open and curious mind?

If not, then you should. Don't limit yourself to the media or hearsays. You are better than that. Research, dig deep, reflect and maybe, just maybe, the Almighty will grant you guidance in his infinite mercy and magnanimity.

Brother Abdelkabir- may Allah reward you with goodness. I can relate with your experience. May Allah keep us all steadfast upon His path.

Sis Sissie- may Allah reward you with goodness as well for your good intentions. However, even if you have reservations about the post or you read some underlying messages, follow the path of Umar Al-khattab(may Allah be pleased with him) by judging by what is apparent and not what is in the heart, which of course, everyone is oblivious about.


Peace to the world

Education / Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by AlphaPen(m): 6:43am On Nov 28, 2017
Perhaps, you were oblivious about it sir. Your offence was a classical suarez, subtle yet lethal. I had to play Vidic, considering the research time I put in it. Lol

Anyways, I now know that acing the GRE is a very major determinant here. Thanks for that.

And yes, Penn state and university of Arkansas have GAs for MSc students.

Going by your assertion that most schools rarely fund MSc, do you think a great GRE score can get me a Phd?

Best wishes.
Scholastica16:


No need to be defensive man, your questions were answered; Your GPA can work with the whole profile in tact. Sure, Penn State is not MIT so a wonderful GRE can make up for perceived deficiencies. Someone with a 2nd class lower got into UPenn fully-funded with a 328. And UPenn is bigger than Penn State.

As per GA, are you talking about M.S or PhD? Most schools rarely fund for M.S programs but for PhDs, sure. So it depends.

Penn State, will be tagged as ambitious until your GRE and other aspects of your profile are formed. Iowa is big on Agriculture and what not so you can check the schools over there.

Regards.
Education / Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by AlphaPen(m): 9:09pm On Nov 27, 2017
Thank you for the reply.
I clearly get the underlying messages as well.

However, I have actually researched about the schools in the US that offer the course.
I have Utah state university, Universityof Arkansas, Texas tech and a host of them. I got them pruned to just Penn state and Arkansas because they were the only ones that stated funding through graduate assistanship.
I didn't ask to be fed, but to be led.
I am a gentleman in this sphere, that was why I sought guidance from experienced ilks like you.

Best wishes.
Scholastica16:


Your question should be; can I get fully funded with that PROFILE?

Your GPA is just one aspect. So work on the others. Say you get 340 in the GRE, Ofcourse it would be possible to get into Penn State fully funded.

As for other schools, you have enough time from now to January to use Google, check out schools and depts. Requirements etc. It is when you are done with that aspect that people can help you by telling you which may be too ambitious, safe, a deadend and the possible GRE cutoffs (if not clearly delineated on the website of the school).

It is research you want to do in the US. Start showing you would be good at it in future.

Hello folks.
I appreciate everyone on this forum. Y'all are doing wonderful.
Please, I need y'all to help me on this.

Profile
Undergrad: 3.26/4.0 (WES- unofficial)
GRE: Dec/Jan
TOEFL: Jan
Course: Agricultural Extension and Communication Technology.

I intend to apply to Penn state University for the fall 2018 for an MSc in Agriculture and Extension education.

Now, to my enquiries.

Can I possibly get full funding with that CGPA?

Which other schools(full funding�) are safe for me to apply to? (
I am open to other courses related to Agriculture and rural development)

Many thanks.

Please, what was the person's CGPA (WES)?
Did the person get funding?

You may want to consider Auburn University. I personally know someone that got admitted into their PhD program, without an MSc, with a GRE score of 298 or thereabout.

Morning sir.
I have a draft as well for a Norwegian school. I could send it to you for perusal and evaluation if you don't mind.
However,I also second your request. I intend to write other ones for US schools. I trust that you can be a lamb and send the samples you get to me (winks).
Merci.

Hello peeps,

I have been a silent viewer of this thread. The first day I came across this thread around May this year, I knew I had struck gold. I took the time to read from the very first page up to 200 and something page it was on then. May God bless the soul that started this awesome thread. I have in short benefited immensely. I download all the materials I've been prepping with. I simply download from the various Dropbox and google drive link posted by the well meaning brothers we have here. I printed on campus since it often cheaper. Although I spent close to 15k, I must say it's money well spent given the knowledge I've gained reading these materials and when compared to the cost of buying each of the materials from the bookstore.

I sat for TOEFL on Saturday, 28th October 2017 at JKK centre. I registered with MAFIT and while I had less than 2 weeks to prepare, I focused on the speaking and reading. I'm pretty good in Writing but I still had a little practice on both the integrated and individual writing task.

I had written TOEFL in 2014 so I was already familiar with the exam overall. I scored 98 at that time. A day before the exam, I practiced with the TOEFL iBT software and reviewed all the questions I missed.

My scores were available on Tuesday, 7th November after just 7 working days. I wasnt able to complete the Listening as there were 2 questions I couldn't answer before the elapsed. I guess that is the price I have to pay for trying to eavsdrop on other test takers who were already on the Speaking tadk while I was on Listening task. Below is the is the breakdown of my scores:

Reading-->25
Listening-->24
Speaking-->24
Writing-->28

Total--->101

I am happy although I was aiming for 105 upward with at least 26 in Speaking.

I've registered with BRABIT LTD for GRE. My test date is Friday, 24th November. I actually told them I preferred Saturday, 02 Dec so I have less time for preparation. They also offer free Magoosh online access which I'm enjoying already. The reg fee is 45k which is quite cheap when compared with most centres.

Below is my profile
B.Eng Agric & Bioresources Engr (4.06/5/0 CGPA)
M.Sc Environmental Engineering (5.4/7.0 CGPA)

My target schools are:
North Carolina State Uni, Raleigh
University of Massachusetts, Amherst
Temple University
Morgan State University

I'm planning to apply for Ph.D haven contacted POI in some of the school and getting the green light.

Gurus in the house please help me with tips on how to score above 160 in Quant's. Your comments are really appreciated.I have been using the Official GRE guide, Manhattan 8 Series and Manhattan 5lb and now I have access to Magoosh online prep. The problem is that my preparation has been on and off due to work and hustling.I'm a bit jitry. Another challenge is application fee palaver ($285) and transcript evaluation ish($325). I really need financial help people.

Can someone help me get in touch with someone outside the shores of Nigeria to help with payment in order to beat the high exchange rate? I really crave your help guys!!!
