Does a low GRE score affect one's ability to get a good internship or job prospect after study especially for those in business school?
Or what does it affect apart from admission?

Thank you

Time2win:
Go and edit your profile to reflect that you are a female.

Godchangemylife:
Either m or f , Bro or sis , Sir or ma. The main aim here is success, I think we should ignore that jare

Gloryemo:
First of all, I'm Female. You people assume gender too much on here. Why do you people assume only men are trying to go for graduate studies tho...
I called the department chair, was told till May or so before the funding decisions will be sent.

Decale:
You need cane...

If you make more of your 3 points and attempt less than the others, does that mean they're reliant on 3 points? Izz dar nor Curry and Klay's problem?

How do you now explain the fact that they have score more 2 pointers and second in midrange than the whole NBA? Shei na 3 pointers be that?

How do you now explain even with their efficiency on 3 pointers, they still make less than 7 teams? Waiting for your analogy...

AgreatMan:
Hello bro

Time2win:
Your moniker carries (f) beside it, why do they keep mistaking you for a guy

SmooshCHN:
Not to be offensive please don't ever quote me on this thread again with the nonsense you just wrote up there about KD. I won't bother quoting you too concerning KD. Thank you.

ManOfPeace2000:
I want to apply to a better school (like MIT, Yale and so on) and also target full tuition waiver. Northeastern school fees is too much, I don't want to fall out of status while studying.am very brilliant and I'll be greatful if you can assist me

Javanian:
Computer Science, Fall 19.

Admits so far.

Auburn University (MS) (Grad Coordinator said they are looking for funding for me, said they had budget cuts so nothing is sure)

Bowling Green State University (MS) In state and Out of state Tuition waiver + $10,000.00 Graduate Assistantship stipend

East Tennesse State University (MS) In state and Out of state Tuition waiver - Assistantship decisions will be made next month

University of North Texas (Ph.D) Tuition waiver + Graduate Assistantship



I am just confused right now

Scholastica16:
New York University's MBA program gave someone I know $5000/month stipend. They waived her whole $71k tuition (for 2 years as well).

Edit; I believe the college of business is called STERN.

LagosismyHome:
stereotype or not wasnt taken into account....

it a feedback based on previous transcript

bracelum:
Yes, she's right. E get as e be for man to go sit-down for 2 years without doing anything. At least, society views it somehow. Men don suffer sha

LagosismyHome:
Congrats ...Admission is one thing and visa is another. Ensure you go through pass transcript and prepare well especially if you want to go with a spouse. Are you the male or female ?. It might be easier if the male is the student than if the male is the f2. ... vo might feel why will a man go sit without working for 2 years

Anyway it possible and others have been successful. No body can predict so all you can do is prepare well and hope for the best

dabaniru:
Thanks

Hey Bracelum,

It appears you have a good grasp about US MBA programs and all... So I'd hope you can provide any guidance.

I have an admission to a top 10 MBA program with very good scholarship (say 70% COA). The balance should be sorted with student loans.

My worry is I'd like to travel with my spouse (as we would rather not be apart for that long). What do I need to put in place/do to help ensure we get the F1/F2 visa? What hurdles would you reckon I might face.

Anyone with helpful insights can please also chip in...will appreciate any help/advice.

MasterforceII:
Anybody here apply to university of Tennessee Knoxville? Any feedback?

bracelum:
Hahahaha, different strokes for different folks. Based on what you have said, all I see here is myopic reasoning. You'll never know the benefits of something if you never enjoyed it.

Not everyone attends schools to learn algebra or linear equations. In fact, with advancements in online learning, a lot of people now do not need to attend the 4 walls of classrooms to learn algebra and linear equations again. Some people attend schools to meet co-founders, enjoy lifelong connections with highly connected people or even to compete with very ambitious and intelligent classmates. All these cannot be ascertained from the $$$ in tuition.

And yeah, those experiences end up making a lot of those folks very very successful.

Time2win:
What's wrong if i assume? No one here knows why he was denied or what the V.O was thinking. By the way, i[b] wasn't assuming but pointing out where i saw weakness in his reply[/b]. We are just giving advice so he can get his visa.

bracelum:
Hahaha! Clap for yourself. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks the same way you do.

The cost of education (not just education) is not only the value attached to the $$ sign in the tuition. In everything we purchase, there are monetary and non-monetary costs as well as monetary and non-monetary benefits. When faced with such a situation, a smart person will open a spreadsheet and run the numbers. A smart person will evaluate the alumni benefits, the location, the quality of education, the network, the career opportunities, the prestige (yeah, the prestige) and the quality of classmates. All these are benefits and costs that are not associated with tuition but are what determines the educational experience of people. Depending on what you want to get out of the educational experience, these factors are even more influential than the tuition.

After running the numbers, a smart person will choose the option that provides the highest utility. I believe the 18-year-old boy did something similar and that was why I was moved to provide the best guidance I could provide. Some people are just too damn smart and age is never a determining factor for smartness.

So, next time, when faced with two decisions like that, never compare the monetary costs alone. If you do so, you will lose out on a hell lot of utility. I don't expect you understand or accept, but you don't take a horse to a river and force it to drink water. Use your brain well!

For someone that wants to have a wonderful educational experience (including those factors I listed), Northeastern University trumps the University of Arkansas significantly. I'm beginning to think that you are a student at the University of Arkansas which explains why you are getting so emotional about the issue.

No more comments on this again.

Time2win:
I am not assuming, i know the tuition fees for Northeastern University, it's very expensive.. The bottom line is that he couldn't prove why he chose the expensive school over a less expensive one. Both are very good schools. Put yourself in the V.O position, why do you want to spend over 20m per year for a program? Without a good answer, a V.O might not approve the person.

timi02:
Good afternoon everyone, great job here!
I am on F1 visa in US for masters, now i have switched to Phd and my F1 will expire in August. How do i renew? Do i need to come to Nigeria? Or?
I will be waiting for your advice.
Thanks

JoeBazz:
Thanks bro

Time2win:
Well you are getting the whole picture wrong. A V.O will want to know why you chose such an expensive school without any form of funding over another good school that's quite affordable. Seeing 65k$ on your i20 screens an alarm on their head they will want to know why you are spending such amount of money. So if you tell the V.O about jobs you can't get with UF, you are indirectly telling him/her that you are eyeing the big money over there and might permanently stay over there and that means you haven't overcome the 214B non immigrant rule. Also taking a huge loan just cos you want to attend a top ranked school is not a nigerian thing and i won't advice anyone to do that. If you have the money to pay, then give a good reason why you chose the school. Well, Lagosismyhome has answered what's on my mind.

See thief.
So if you invest 1milion Naira you're expecting 120,000 Naira daily?

JoeBazz:
Hello house...
I'm now feeling like I'm too relaxed about my ambitions and goals about studying in the united state as the schools I applied to has not updated my admission status. I think I need to apply to more schools, please which schools waive application fee because I don't want to waste more money on application fee.
Which schools offer GA?
Thanks in anticipation for your response.

Time2win:
V.O knows only few nigerians can actually afford US tuition fees without any form of assistantship. His honesty would have saved him but he flopped when asked why he chose the school. The V.O will conclude he is going there cos of his friend.

Time2win:
So if harvard university gave you admit and the tuition fees is 85k$ without funding, then you choose it over university of florida that's also well respected and the tuition fee is 35k$. How is choosing harvard university a good choice. How many Nigerians can afford their tuition fees? Let's be realistic and leave ranking aside now. We haven't even talked about living expenses in both states

bracelum:
So, based on your explanation, if I choose Harvard University over the University of Florida, it is an unwise decision. Right?

Considering that Harvard is damn expensive but ranked higher, and the University of Florida is a good and cheaper school.
