I think you should work on talking about a research currently going on in that dept that you are interested in. How the research would be of benefit to your career.
Okay I can say a research on the optimization of fuel consumptions in mechanical system using CFD. is currently on going by Prof Gent and prof Hu Zhong who is my advisor, this will help me because I will have the knowledge and skill in maintaining large mechanical and energy systems used here in Nigeria

Good day house, I have gotten 120 from South Dakota State University,Ms in Mechanical Engineering. I have been going through persons experience here and it has been great and uplifting. I have been preparing for visa interview of late but the answers i am having for possible questions i really need aid in scrutinizing my response. For instance,
If VO says how did you hear about SDSU: Can i say i searched for universities that offers CFD modules in mechanical engineering using google search engine.
if VO ask why USA and not any other country: Can i say because USA employs advance technology in teaching,uses most recent practical techniques which will give me an edge when i return to Nigeria and a certification from the USA is world recognized.
If VO ask whats the relevance of your area in Nigeria: Can i say it is an advance modelling tool,it is used by oil and gas industries in nigeria to monitor flows and predict behavior of systems,used by manufacturing companies in nigeria to monitor system performance,troubleshooting and for optimization purposes.

Please house assist me if you have other ideas. The issue with the home tie stuff,how do i go about it? Thanks in advance i appreciate any response or advice.

#texas A&m (top school) .. University of Louisiana, southern illinois uni, texas Arlington....these are a bit safe schools.

But folks on this forum say it good to apply to top schools so you get the chance of job placement on graduating.

Am still doing my research on more any way.

Bro. it would be nice you take the GRE again your gp is sharp.
okay bro but mehhh talking the gre won't be easy I almost got distracted due to work now taking it again isn't much easy or you feel I take it again. and see which score selection would be better?

Yeah bro...But My Visa was denied, so I'm tryna buckle my shoe so tight and have my assignment properly done dis time around b4 refiring...

Middle Tennessee state university is a very good university for engineering and you will be automatically considered for fundings once u apply provided u meet their requirements...but email and ask them abt GRE requirement for ur course...
Email Isaac Taylor on Isaac.Taylor@mtsu.edu for more info...he's d Intl graduate analyst..

Ewooo shocked see GPA...your profile would be damn competitive with a better GRE score. Brother, abeg retake.
Guys thank you,but it won't be easy for me to retake the Gre because I am already currently working I had to take it sharply so not to be more distracted because of my job. I might not require a full scholarship but a quite some percentage of assistantships might help. The time to even think of preparing again isn't their any longer I had to quickly take it because I knew I was loosing concentration.

Well naso unilag engineering students dey pack 5.0 dey waka....Lol

You can pay ur application fee through your Master card, or Visa card...just fill the application form and you will be directed to the page you input your card infos...
Or you can mail your payment to the school...contact the school bursary office and ask dem the app fee payment mailing add....

The best,easiest and fastest way is to pay thru the credit card(master or Visa)..
thanks man,I attended uniben not unilag...... lol.

Iwe(book).. grin...salute you bro
The schools you u chose are very gud mech-eng sch..Got a frnd in SDSMT riding on their full scholarship there...but I think there GRE requirement is 300+ .....there are other schools that, with this your score and result they will heartedly receive u and grant u funds.
What ur real cgpa? cos some schools don't accept wes evaluated transcrpt , they have their own internal evaluators and ul be ask to send ur transcript directly.
Check Georgia state uni( scholarship 90%sure) Middle Tennessee state university(automatically considered for scholarship provided u meet d requirement), university of Pennsylvania, university of maryland college park, Arizona state uni(scholarship 100% sure but its competitive), Texas A&M uni, Georgia inst of tech( Eng students are heavily funded)..
Check more on Google for schools, check their requirements , check whether they need Wes evaluation also...

On the TOEFL ish....I'll advice u to take it to be on a safer side even if it isn't a requirement for Nigerian student...cos u might end up enrollin into an ESL programme which u'l pay more money($2000) than the $190 of TOEFL here...

Make I no lie u I envy ur WES report grin...Congrats
thanks bro I had a cgpa of 4.318/5.0 on Nigeria scale,thanks man for the suggestions of schools, please you know how I can pay application fee myself from here?

Good day guys. I took my GRE and had 296 (quant:153,verbal:143), Analytical writing yet to be released, WES evaluation 3.63/4.0. Please do I need to take the TOEFL test for schools that says if your primary language is English no need for TOEFL. I am interested in Ms Mechanical Engineering does anyone has idea about any school that I can get assistantships and with good part time jobs with my profile? I had applied to Tennesse State University, South Dakota State University and South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. Suggestions of other schools are welcomed. Secondly how can I pay application fee from here if someone doesn't have anyone over there? Thanks in advance guys expecting replies that can be of help.

You couldve told WES to use the email system for verification not by post. If its 12 days past, means they used regular mail which could take 3-4 weeks.
To save time, make sure you know someone in your scholl who'll help with the verification in time.
Cheers!
okay thanks alot I just do that.

Sending document along with reference number makes it easy for them to locate your documents on timely manner.

So you will have to be patient with them and pray you don't have to resend. This happens to a friend who sent ref number like a month after sending document.
so he had to resend his transcript?

How would they trace your document with no reference number among the hundreds of documents they receive everyday?

They don't reply calls or emails. That's their policy.
I sent my reference number and the waybill to them via email and they replied so am waiting hopefully.
