And when is the latest time to write for FALL 2018

Am also preparing against Fall 2018, can we study together? have you got the study materials?

tizentos:
Few days after my GRE test, I took a GMAT-based aptitude test--which I aced-- and I must say, there just nuance differences between GMAT and GRE.

The Quant is almost similar. However,the verbal section is a bit different with the inclusion of critical reasoning, sentence correction and logical reasoning which I just have to familiarize myself with. The AWA is pretty much similar,albeit, you need to know how to write the GMAT, so here is a google drive, I hope it helps.

Well, my great people, its kinda long overdue for my POE and American transcript. Departed the shores of Nigeria on the 13th of August via Royal Air Maroc and it was a nice experience except the long layer overs (10 hrs in Casablanca, 7 hrs at JFK). Nice meal aboard the flight to JFK. Got to JFK around 2am and my POE officer (Asian man) asked me just two questions I can't remember again but no big deal. The flight from JFK to Denver was nice but long too (4 hrs). Got to Denver and took a prebooked shuttle to Fort Collins. Stayed with a nice white family for 3 days before moving to my own place. First week of classes has just flown by and its been great here so far. My 2 cents advice for those who do not want to take the GRE is that the stress of taking the test is really worth it especially for the sake of funding. I wont advise anyone to come here without properly loading up financially even if you get funding.

Stats; GRE: 307, 4.0 AWA, TOEFL: 105, 4.02/5.0 (BSc), 72.3% (MSc), research/work experience (1 year), Agric Microbiology/Plant Science.
I got my admission+funding via an advert on Twitter, the PI was looking for a student to do some research relating to my field and I threw in my CV, and God did the rest. I advise anyone with similar stats to follow Profs on twitter doing a similar research, they do tweet or retweet grad students openings in related labs. My desperation for funding led me to twitter and its another goldmine of info.

Cheers and see you all at the top!!!

congratulations sir, I will also testify in Jesus name

That's more like it. There was a school I checked and they required TOEFL, I mailed the school stating we speak English in Nigeria and I was taught in English. They replied that if I was taught in English that TOEFL is waived.

So mail the school and ask..
All the best

I just did. thanks brother. Are you studying already or you're still processing?

LagosismyHome:
Time is a luxury i dont have so catching my even by pm is hard because i rarely check it. You are in good hands here. This thread is rich with all the info you need together with Google.... also i last went to school a while ago so when it comes to admission matter i am very rusty so here is better for up-to-date info

Oh, thanks for ur timely response. thought you are still in the system. Anyway, your contributions to this thread remain invaluable. keep up the good work

LagosismyHome:
I didnt go to ESTU their website would be the best place to check the requirement

ok ma'am. but would be happy if you can help me prepare for next fall. I need mentorship because am a newbie, am not lazy though, have been trying reading previous parts so as to arm myself with necessary information. but I believe having someone that has crossed the ocean mentoring me would make the whole process easy for me. thanks, look forward to positive response

LagosismyHome:
Many ...

pls ma'am

LagosismyHome:
Many ...

pls ma'am I need you to prepare me for next fall, infact, I need your mentorship plsss, may the Lord reward you. and does the school require TOEFL or ielts

patomaniac:
Your best option is peruse the school's website and check it's admission requirements for international students.
Regards

have tried perusing the school site but I could not get where the language requirement is. I will better mail the admission office. thanks brother

biikeys:
That's probably the most popular school on this thread now

sorry for my ignorance, i just joined the thread, though have read am much as I could in the past 2 - 3 days. my question is... is TOEFL or ielts compulsory for the school? for example Nebraska Lincoln does not make it compulsory inasmuch as you were taught in an English speaking country. waiting for ur response

Any one in East Tennessee state university?

BloodyMitch:
From what I have heard is that the gpa conversion focuses more on your final year grades like year three n four so if dose grades ain't too high your gpa ain't gonna be high after conversion.

ma'am, is it a must we convert our GPA?

Good pm good people of this thread. I must confess you guys are doing a great job. thanks for giving ur time to answer questions. am currently serving, will be rounding up by December this year, I want to apply for my masters in U.S universities, however, the only means of paying my tuition fee is to secure a scholarship or tuition waiver. am planning towards next fall. will be going to school at the end of the years so that I can talk with some few lecturers who can be my referee. pls I need advice concerning schools that can offer tuition waiver. the course I intend applying for is international relations, or development studies. Thanks

God help Us! The same Nigeria people are dieing of hunger, an individual has all of these!
The EFCC just released 12 properties traced to the former minister of petroleum Diezani Alison Madueke. the listed properties are located in sumptuous areas in Nigeria with their values running into several millions of naira.
Take a look at the article written by
Tony Orilade and Aisha Gambari of the EFCC Media department.
1. $350 million properties in Banana Island bought on November 22, 2011
The most numbing, record-shattering acquisitions of Alison-Madueke, is to be found in the ritzy, nouveaux riches playground of Banana Island, Lagos. It consists of two apartments at the Bella Vista Court.
The apartments which are Penthouses, are located on Block C-5, Flat 21, Plot 1, Zone N. For them, a $350 Million (Three Hundred and Fifty Million US Dollar) hole was allegedly dug in the Nigerian treasury on November 22, 2011, by Ms. Alison-Madueke.
2. N800 Million Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, properties bought on on January 6, 2012
Also in Lagos, Ms. Alison-Madueke allegedly bought a block of six units serviced apartments at Number 135 Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, just a few hundred metres away from the EFCC zonal operations hub. The apartment has a standby power generating set, sporting facilities, play ground and a water treatment plant. The property was bought at the rate of N800 Million (Eight Hundred Million Naira) on January 6, 2012.
3. N1 Billion Yaba and N900 million Port Harcourt estate properties both paid for in May 30, 2012
Other properties in Yaba, Lagos, also discovered by the eagle eyes of the Commission’s operatives, are located at number 7, Thurnburn Street and 5, Raymond Street. The Thurnburn Street property consists of 21 mixed housing units of eight 4-bedroom apartments, two penthouse apartments of 3-bedrooms each and six 3-bedroom (all en-suite) terrace apartments.The Raymond street property is made up of two en-suite 2-bedroom apartments and one 4-bedroom apartment.
The Yaba, Lagos properties, which dug a deep hole of an eye-popping N1 Billion (One Billion Naira), were paid for on May 30, 2012. The same day Alison-Madueke splashed N900 million for the Port Harcourt estate.
4. N200 Million Lekki Phase one properties
In Lekki Phase one, an upscale neighbourhood of Lagos, operatives found a twin four-bedroom duplex. The duplex is located on Plot 33, Block 112, Lekki Peninsula Residential Scheme Phase 1, Lekki, Lagos, with an estimated value of over N200 Million (Two Hundred Million Naira).
