When you say young man- could you be more specific. I would really be worried if the affairs of this nation was handed to a 20+ person. Maybe 30+ seems ok. |

OMG! I'm sure glad I did not sit in your economics classyes, it was taught by a chief economist in the Fed. I dont even want to display his credentials- it is too great for u  . Now, I have finally confirmed that i am talking to dunces- so u guys are not aware that inflation is necessary sometimes to stimulate economic growth. Its a major tool by regulatory mechanism. |

i have actually sat through macro economics and econo-metric classes thank u,probably more than i can say about uNot here to compare classes. Now, you know economic discovery takes time dont you- since apparentky you sat in an elementary macroeconomic class  , so why not wait b4 you start criticizing the elephant instead of focussing on the ant. |

U are beginning to vex me  I am not arguing about the GDP- i am arguing about how that GDP is applied. Even if nigeria makes 360 billion dollars as you say, and it goes into the pockets of corrupt politicians, how does it develop nigeria? If Ghana makes a 1/10th of what we make, as you claim, and they spend it efficiently, which country is better? |

because everything speaks volumes of ur stupidity. Take for example this: just because u are enamored by wherever u are in the west,and dont let me begin with the UK the biggest shithole in europe,almost going bannkrupt and having to print more and more money,quantitative easing my arseWhat does the ability to print money have anything to do with what we are talking about. Also these countries have chief economist with IQs not even remotely close to you and transformR and you think they are just printing money for no reason. While your Nigeria's dumb ass CBN guy who is still stating the merits of Islamic banking, these economists have proven themselves through the years. If you have sat in a macroeconomic class you would know that these countries are deliberately attempting to cause inflation in their economy as well as stiulate spending in the hopes that it could have other effects secondary effects. yes the economy is in a slump, but if America slumps right now, China is going with it. White people are in a great position right now- stop wasting your time. |

People dint scream, they laughed ! And once again I will laugh at your comments. Nigeria grew at 6% where ?dont mind this guy, he has been saying the same thing. The problem is that people just find information onlline and then post it confidently without considering what methodology was used and such or some grasp of economics. Because Nigeria's GDP is growing due to oil prices, how does this relate to industrialization and real economic growth? |

Purpose of Study & Professional Plans The boundless possibility of trying out and the instant knowledge of the outcome that stimulates one for further analysis of a rationale in question, is what I find most appealing about Computer Science. Keeping up an inquisitive and explorative attitude, I believe, leads to a constant learning process. This approach adds to the already immense potential for innovation that exists in this field. As a student in the final year of undergraduate study for a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Science & Engineering, I look to graduate study to refine my knowledge and skills in my areas of interest. I believe it will also serve to give direction to my goal of a career as a research professional at an academic or commercial, research-oriented organisation. I intend to pursue an MS degree in order to reach that goal. Academic Background & Research Interests In my undergraduate studies, I have benefited from the breadth of Shivaji University’s syllabi content that has given me a comprehensive exposure to the core areas of Computer Science and a strong conceptual understanding of the same. In these three and half years of study, I have strived to maintain an approach of expending independent effort in all my endeavors. Learning by myself and sharing my knowledge with others has been most worthwhile, when comprehending a concept. Over the past two years, I have developed an interest in the areas of Compiler Construction and Information Retrieval. The Compiler Construction lab sessions last semester required the design of a compiler for C++ programs that were restricted to For loops, Switch case statements and simple input and output. The work involved in this, as well as the courses, Formal Systems and Automata and Compiler Construction, have lead me to appreciate the intricacies involved in this field. However, for my MS degree, I remain open to other topics as well. For my B.E project, I have decided to concentrate on my other area of interest viz. Information Retrieval. I’m attempting to evolve a technique that, when employed in a search engine, will maximize the comprehensiveness and precision of the query listings. The ongoing work has introduced me to a vast body of pertinent research, such as the University of Washington’s Dynamic Reference Sifting technique for locating an individual’s homepage, among others. This has served to sharpen my inclination to engage in active research within this area. (Please see attached Resume’ for the Academic and Co-curricular distinctions) One person’s life influences the lives of an unbelievable number of people, one of the most important lessons I learned, being the Head of the Apex Body at senior secondary level (11th and 12th standard). Hence the need of responsible actions. Becoming the youngest Head of the Apex Body ever and the only one to have served for a period of two years eventually turned out to be a confidence booster. It taught me that the basis for good work is self-reliance and very importantly, time management. Not all of my entire two years were devoid of shortcomings. I learned to accept both criticism and praise with a positive frame of mind. My work involved organising various events, that brought with them the opportunity to work and interact with various kinds of people. This was a distinctively gratifying experience for me, which I feel would stand in good stead in the future, especially in lieu of any teaching experience. In conclusion, I would like to add that the essence of University education lies in the synergetic relationship between the student and his department. I feel that graduate study at your University will be the most logical extension of my academic pursuits and a major step towards achieving my objectives. I would be grateful to you if I’m accorded the opportunity to pursue my graduate studies with financial assistance at your institution and am able to justify your faith in me. (For a listing of all final year courses, i.e. courses not listed in transcripts please see attached Resume’) 1 Like |

What gave you the impression that most Non-US residents are "clueless" about it.I left Nigeria over 10 years ago when accessibility to the Internet was quite negligible and a lot of us knew about the website.It just bothers me a lot when some Nigerians spend a few months/years abroad and start having some imaginary supreriority complex.Simply because most nigerians school in the UK/Nigerian. we are more knowledgeable about that system, and i doubt any American can even freely debate with nigerians about their school system or the british university system. We are a commonwealth country which means that very few of people actually come to school in the US. So if i pull out the US news ranking, it wouldn't be surprising if most people haven't heard of half the schools there that are supposed to be top schools Only people who have any interest in attending schools in the US would be interested in the US News rankings. It isn't really about superiority class Also why should people who school in nigeria- the large majority at nairaland-be interested in US News a ranking of top american universities. They are more interested in using lay schools that they hear all the time like the H, Y, S, C, M e.t.c |

do u mean for US citizens because last time i check MIT website before they accept you for a Phd program (as a foreign student) u have to provide proof that u can pay the tuition. Straight from two different departments from MIT website:You dont pay for a PhD in science at MIT period. So your analogy is difficult to apply. I understand what you are trying to say, but using a PhD totally defeats your meaning . Like a school pays you to do a PhD while you pay a school to do your mba. However, you should also know that schools in the northeast automatically charge higher for everything that you can get in the midwest or south. Every private school in the north east has the same cost harvard is the same price as a lot of podunk private schools. So you are right in pointing out that the pricing of education not just in business schools but in the whole of the US is very arbitary and weird. |

Silvio Berlusconi, Dangote, OtedolaThree crooks. Not really good models for businessmen. Warren Buffet, however, applied to Harvard business school and got rejected (what harvard calls one of their greatest regrets). He still applied showing this great man thought it was worth it paying that much for an MBA. I think Okonji-Iweala was a Federal goverment scholar so she didn't pay for her MIT education she was sponsored by the Nigerian government i think.For one Clinton was from a very poor family, at most American lower middle class, he attended Georgetown university on a series of scholarships. Okonjo Iweala-did her undergrad at Harvard and PhD at MIT. I dont know how she financed undergrad-and i would probably assume she was financed by harvard who at that time was trying to get students from africa to attend- but she said in an interview once that she paid for her doctorate at MIT by loans and when she got a job at the world bank as a result of the school she attended she was able to pay back her loans. From there she reached the top of the world bank. Yes but you wouldn't learn that much in an MBA. MBA is very very over-rated . It is very very easy even easier than an undergraduate degree.Through an MBA might be very easy at other schools, but at top schools its not the case. You have a class rank and exams are made more difficult to distinguish the best from the pack, this makes it easier for companies to recruit not just from top business schools but from the creme de la creme of these schools. Msc Finance is what should be debated about here, its a cash cow program and in actual case easier than MBA, even if it is very quantitative. Seems candylips u are mixing the UK a lot with the US. At Msc finance you might be taught by these great professors, but usually if the class is crosslisted (which is usually the case) for both the finance and MBA program, then Msc students and MBA students would end up being taught by the good profs. However, the usual case is that the good professors are the one who teach the MBA. PhDs are totally different from the MBA, but i will not comment because i dont know how management PHds are run. |

On another issue, Wake Forest might have a free MBA program as a way of attracting minority students or poor students. In the ivy league school like Harvard, Yale and co. they recently instituted a policy that if you are from a lower income family, THEN YOUR TUITION IS FREE. This is because they make sooooooo much money from there endowments so they don't need there money. It is also a way of truly attracting the best and the brightest who might not have the money especially minorities, so sagamite, you might wanna consider going there (wake forest).Thats actually true. However, i would have to erm, point out some misconception. Harvard's policy (which actually makes schools free for families who earn less than 60, 000 dollars) is only for its undergrad. And no other school does this. As lagbaja says, nothing for you if you are at the business school. This si interesting though. It makes us aware that: 1) Harvard knows that there is a market for their MBA. people are willing and ready to pay for this product. As I said assuming this was a market, the consumers are more than satisfied with their product. 2) As a result Harvard has no reason to give any incentives to attract consumers. They can't bloody fool people for undergrad though- why is this the case- because you can be anything you want to be regardless of what undergrad you go to. So harvard trys to attract the best and the brightest regardless of their ability to pay. It is important to note that harvard knows that their MBA is overpriced and the reason most people attend the schools is for its resume value. However as long as there are buyers, there would be sellers no matter how much people debate. 1 Like |

But i will say though that there will be a marked difference at the PHD level. as an example for instance a Phd in Astrophysis is Uni Chicago should be more expensive than MIT . why ? because Uni Chicago has a most advanced space observatory in the world but guess what. it is cheaper than MIt. why ? i have no ideaThis doesn't even make sense- you usually dont pay for doctoral programs, you get a tuition waiver and stipend. Especially for astrophysics, they might put the tuition down online, but thats pretty standard, NO one pays for a phd in astrophysics. Also, education in yanki is not like the type in England. Here teachers actually teach you, its not like England that is intensive on self study.yeah i was like wtf at first, then i remembered what a grad student at my school who did his undergrad at LSE said about the school. He said they gave them a list of books to read for a class and u read the books for the semester. Like classes in the UK have like 100 students in a class so it might make sense. Only first years classes at top schools in the US have that many students. Most classes range from 15-35.Also classes are thought differently from seminar classes, to tutorials, to discussion, to labs, to math study groups. From experience, if you miss class your teacher would know. Also classes are sometimes run in a discussion format so if you did not do the reading for that week the professor would know, especially if you dont say anything in that class. funny enough there are now many jobless Harvard grads since the start of the recession wonder why their fantastic Consultant teachers didn't forsee thesecompare the unemployment rate of harvard to other schools, and you would know whats up . Also dont forget that harvard students predominantly enter the financial sector (worst hit by the recession)- they no dey waste time for engineering/anything that doesnt spell insane cash in the future. If they dont do finance they enter law school/medical school. For the ones who were born to be selfless and attend harvard- those are the ones you see who dont have jobs. They want to be teachers, environmentalist, fight for human rights.If these jobless harvard students start competing with the same jobs as most people, you wiill know the true meaning of competition. Some of these students can speak four languages and are just inteersted in translating old documents for history professors. Infact I would say we should revert back to business school, because it you are talking about students at top universities in the US, they are a different set of people, they are really hardworking (most) and know what they want to do with their lives, thats how they ended up there 1 Like |

this is sefago, with a different account. I was banned for posting spam Food for thought: do you honestly think that Barack Obama would have become president had he gone to a school like Texas Southern University rather than a glossy school like columbia or harvard.I wouldn't be surprised if some people argue that obam awould have been president if he went to any school. But davidif you hit a really good point on the head that is very disturbing on its own Obama wouldnt have even won the primaries if he had not gone to these schools. Most of his support in the early stages came from the liberal egghead groups intellectuals and professors- they identified with him because he attended these schools and they assumed he was smart as a result. Its a sad fact, but their would have been no black president without the help bastion of white privilege, the ivy league. Also, in addition go to wikipedia and look at the alumni list from the ivy leagues and you would see what i am talking about.I posted these previously but it got deleted. The alumni list for these schools is phenomenal, with a proven track record of success. Like nearly every major investment bank (i know its a general statement but too late to produce hard facts), at one point in its history, has been lead by a harvard business school graduate. It is likely that some smart student from a state school could do an equal or better job running these banks, but harvard gave that future ceo the extra bump he needed. John thain, vikram pandit, privates kovacevich all attended top schools, the list goes on and on. |
