Your reply to how you get to know the school was not so convincing. Work on that. Most vo wanna see that you actually did some research before concluding on the school to go.

By this time next week. Someone is gonna come with dollars to sell to travelling student. Someone with the mindset of angelapinkytoes.
Anyway me just said my own ooooo. I hail the regulars and newbies. Ur head is valid like ojap. Walspring, GboyegaD, dotman,lagosismyhome,gunther06,texrem,oludare01 etc.

Be happy friend.

Let me tell you a story. When I was applying to PA school, I applied to about 12 or 13. Finance and time prevented me from applying to all my targeted 15 programs. One by one they started sending me application rejection letter. I didnt even make it to the interview stage, even with my As, prior masters with good cgpa and research publications. It was discouraging that I received such massive rejections after what I have invested into the PA school hunt. I invested money for applications (about $2700), for the 2 semesters of prereqs at hunter college (about $8000) and for reducing my hours at work to accommodate the prereqs; time on prereqs (2 semesters), community service (1+ yr and still counting), acquiring healthcare experience (1.5 yrs), shadowing doctors (3 months) and given up on taking biochem route; emotional stress. GboyegaD called me around that time and had to encourage me because I was depressed. My worry was that programs are discriminating and selective about nationality, where undergrad was obtained and age of prereqs... This is actually correct.

The day I received my first interview invitation, I had a great conviction that at least my application qualifies for admission somewhere. At the interview there was only 3 black guys among 36 applicants in group A that day. The remaining were all whites. The program interviewed 36 applicants x 2 groups per day x 3 days for just 40 seats in the program. After the interview I was discouraged again, I know I did my best at the oral part of the interview but I was haunted by my thoughts whenever I remember that I didn't finish my writing part because I was trying to stand out (to be perfect) and forgot to look at the back of the questionnaire for more questions.

One month after this interview, I received an invitation from a second school in KY which was scheduled for Jan 10, 2017. I was gearing up for the interview when I received an admission letter from the first school on Dec 25. I feel elated and butterflies filled my stomach to the extent that I couldn't take it and started feeling nauseous and couldn't eat that night. 5 days later, I told KY to give my slot out to another applicant. A week later I received the third interview invitation from another program and guess what, I forgot to decline the invitation.

Long story short, when I look back at all this, my mind goes back to my 2 years old nairaland signature that says 'All my life, I had always finished the race'. No one says there won't be rejection(s) but this would be until you find the one program looking for you.

Winners don't quit. Cheers!

Thanks imperiouxx baba. I already told GboyegaD about the rejects. Had 301 GRE , 92 TOEFL, MSc 4.04/5 n bsc of 3.39/5.00. Thinking maybe cause my GRE result is not too good. Hoping to sit for another but I spent money ooo.Arizona app took like $100 with TOEFL n GRE scores order of 47$. Same with MTU except that no app fee but spent same $47 to order to them. What about my two transcript to those two schools? If I use that money go do my fiancee introduction I for happy. Right now if there is any promo on GRE make una pls book me down. This one that buharis back

Walspring:
Try another school and you will smile at the end of the day

Long time here. I have been observing from the touchline. I greet all. Most time I always advice prospective students to look down south.reasons are grants, low cost of living and weather too

Libber:
Am writing this on behalf of the newbies like me,I remember when I wanted to start this journey, I pm sirRiddy to give me guidelines, he told me to search for schools and send mails to the grad cords,I googled,and send mails to more than 30 schools, majority of the schools reply my mail few did not reply.Some said they have limited GTA, some don't have fund,some said its competitive, some said they waive some percentage of the tuition. After everything I have selected 4 schools,might add two to it later.I have
bsc in industrial mathematics
cgpa 3.22/5
Michigan state university ( MSC industrial mathematics- They fund all their msc industrial mathematics student)
New Mexico tech ( They encourage me to apply ,MSC applied mathematics and operations research- They fund all msc mathematics students)
Kansas state university (MSC mathematics- They fund all graduate maths students)
Montana state university (They fund their grad students but requested for my transcript)
Searching for schools that suit your qualification is like searching for a six figure salary job without connection.
Preparing strong for my GRE and Toefl ,Fall 2018
Thanks to sirRiddy and am looking forward to sharing my testimony too

Am talking about Davido not Tina.
Where u see Tina for the write up

The award-winning music act will grace the opening ceremony of the competition at the Stade de l'Amitié on Saturday.
Award-winning artiste, Davido will be performing at the opening ceremony of the 2017 African Cup of Nations in Gabon.

The Sony Music recording act will join fellow compatriot Flavour and Tanzania's Diamond Platnumz at the Stade de l'Amitié in the country's capital as they raise the curtain for the 31st edition of the biennial men's football event.

The opening ceremony will take place just before the kickoff of the opening match between Gabon and Guinea Bissau at the 40,000-seater Libreville stadium

Move to appropriate section

Its quite surprising when you see argument ranging from this and that about Oau. As an alumni of great Ife I would say that many things said by disgruntled wannabe great Ife is not true.
1. Just as admission racketeering is prominent in most Nigerian university great Ife is not an exception. Early 2000 you will see students with low scores getting into prestigious dept like medicine, elect elect, Chem engine etc . it happens dear.
2. Ife don't admit on tribalism. There is a merit cut off and catchment cut off. Catchment cut off is never higher than merit cut off. I saw a guy said his dept cut off was lesser than his catchment. I say that is a pure lie. This cut off are based on people performance that is why some states have low cut compared to other catchment states.
3. Oau delta student association is one of the strongest state association in Oau. If not the strongest during my stay there. Closest state will be Lagos . I say this due to their week celebration . there is no state not well represented in Oau. No discrimination from any sort compared to other eastern states universities like uniport, unn etc.
4. In the case of the girl it is possible n very possible . I had similar issue then during admission . my name came out in like 4depts and there where cancellation here n there. In as much as your name her name was already in one dept errors will crept in. She should have spoken out. During my own time I was fortunate to see the vc roger makanjuola then and I reported to him pronto it was fixed up. Oau is a free university with lurking around for a day u will even see all prominent governing council of the school I tell you. Issues like this happen n I must say Nigerian universities are not there yet but Oau is still fair compared to universities in ss n de.

Dear Santa,
Though I don't really doubt ur existence, I need a job in this approaching new year. I ve been jobless for a longtime even with an MSc certificate. Mind u Santa I wish to get married before d end of next year and money has been a prob.
Santa, loneliness no good ooo.

electronic:
TOEFL is kinda straight forward. Just follow the template of the YouTube video. It works wonders. Be confident and sound like a boss on the mic. Package your accent
Use the softwares and simulate the exam process and you should be fine.
Learn to read fast though....
And yes that day , be prepared for distractions from other rapping on their mics concentration is crucial. That's about it.

I think u dont need to fear if u really schooled in Nigeria . for d reading question u need to be fast in reading n in ur comprehension. Listening require u to be attentive; speaking involves u to be proactive n loud. That's d most difficult aspect n also most important too. I manage to get 23 in it. The writing section is the easiest. Pls take painkiller on the day of d exam . the kind headache you d be saving itself can knknock an elephant over

So I got my TOEFL result dis morning! Bad thing is I never had the chance to report my scores to the institutions freely as I thought its like GRE where I report my scores after the exams .I d have to fork out $80 which I don't have the luxury of. Now the good side is I got a decent score of 92. Though I don't understand jack about the result interpretation. Summary is how good is TOEFL score of 92 writing 25; listening 23 reading 22 speaking 22 for funding opportunities.

Good evening house..
Please which local airline is cheaper from NY to TX that will accept luggage without additional charges..
Thank you all and Have a great week ahead.
Daaz.

Why should you worry when you can easily get flight from Lagos to Arizona/houston/ Dallas except u wanna cut cost which u can use greyhound from NY to Texas and use close to 2-3days of traveling

otubujohn:
I still dey beg. I just need about 4 schools. I will apply this week to all and schedule a test date for my GRE if need be. I keep having nightmares because of this. just want to lock myself indoors for the next one month and finish everything about application

I hardly reply to comment in here but since we both have d same first name I ma reply you. U have a fairly decent profile. U didn't state ur cgpa in ur bsc degree but if it is over 3./4 then u can try schools in d south. Write a good sop. Contact prof or Dr in ur area of specialization. U may write up to 300 letters before u get one interested in u but don't be discouraged.

Hello everyone! From the veterans like ojap, dot1, walspring, imperiouxx, GboyegaD to the newbies . how Una dey? Can see there is decorum on the thread. Think it usually happen when the fall admission is near.
Anyway the good news is that buhari's economic team don finish dis country with dia mediocrity as regards managing d economy. Wish VO can close eye give all of us visa to America.
