Fablady:
I know this might be a very silly question but I need help. How do you GRE blasters learn (or cram) the words? It's so hard for me to get sentence completion with multiple answers right. Most times, I get 2/3 right but that makes the answer to the question wrong! And those passages are sooooooo boring, lengthy and difficult to understand. cry

For learning words. Download the Magoosh vocabulary app on Android playstore. Which books are you using for sentence completions?

I would advice you use an eclectic mix of books; Magoosh videos for SC, Princeton review and even baron. Then yu also look at the ETS guide.

I don't recommend manhattan for SC. Thanks

I would strongly advice u to go for automation because as a mechanical guy u can always find your feet and read up as at when necessary. I just complete the program and it was a lovely n an eye opener. If u 've the means avail myself the program

This is good chance that he is likely to accept you! Follow up on his email.

Respond by asking him what possible research openings he has in his lab to see which you would be a good fit for.

@others...sirriddy's mail template is the perfect example of a template for those seeking graduate assistantships at their prospective schools. You should never be direct in your search for assistantship or be won't to mention or implicitly imply in your first email that you are looking for an assistantship because of the money.


Big francis & sir riddy I Don copy the template

Hello guys ...congrats....to our comrades who already have visas and are about travelling. Wish yu all the best.

We still holding it out here looking for funded masters...wish is pretty difficult to come about these days.

I contacted Tennessee tech. on funding....(since I read on their site that they give funding and even engineering discipline have a 0.9 chance of getting one)

Heres what I got from the grad advisor for Mech:

Thank you for your interest in our graduate program. Our minimum requirements for international students are: GPA 3.0/4.0, GRE V+Q 298, A.W. 3.0,

IELTS 5.5, official transcripts and three letters of recommendation. We expect new graduate students to support themselves during the first year.


just want to know....it simply means don't apply...if yu can't sponsor ya sef abi?

Any1 on nl in this school presently

Denvan:
Still basking in the euphoria of my visa approval yesterday.

Scheduled for 9am, but arrived few minutes past 7. Had to wait till to ten b4 we were called. (I was already annoyed bcause I dnt like waiting and waiting and hearing discouraging words from pple, especially wen I hv an examinatn or interview; prefer to just come, go in and do business...). Anyway, gat no choice but to relax.

I was with my bag containing my laptop and other belongings and hv resolved not to keep it with those women hustling outside the embassy; one of them took sbd's bag and just hanged it on a tree while she continues to attend to other customers buying food frm her... for my mind, make I give u my bag, make another person carry am go and u go come tell me story or worst still, u run away...

Anyway, got inside and after a long wait and queue, it was my turn at window 9. Here was what transpired...

ME: Good morning ma
VO: (Did not answer)...pass me your DS 160 and Pport...., I did
VO: What about your Form I-20...., I passed it also
VO: Where are u going for your Masters?
ME: Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey
VO: Why Rutgers?
ME: Rutgers is the best school in New Jersey
VO: (cut in..) As in? What did u say?
I gave d same answer, and she repeated the same question. (I was thinking maybe because I was stuttering cause I am a stammarer so she did not hear me clearly or perhaps she is doubting my assertion that Rutgers is d best or sth.... so I quickly rephrased and stylishly moved to other cogent reasons...)
ME: Rutgers is one of the best schools in US with a faculty/student ratio of 1/13. It is highly rated in terms of Engineering especially in my field (Energy systems)
VO: (Looks at my Form-I20) But your Form I-20 shows that u are going for a Masters in Mechanical Engineering (design and control)!!
ME: Yes. Design and control of Energy Systems
VO: Ok, tell me about it.
ME: The world survives and thrives on energy. Energy generation, storage and control is essential for human existence and as such every avenue to generate it must be harnessd. I hope to major in energy generation from vibrating bodies, knowing fully well that every object vibrates continuously, though at different frequencies.
VO: Who is sponsoring u?
ME: I got a scholarship from my state government and my brother will be co sponsoring.
VO: Got any document to show?
ME: Sure. (Gave her the account statement and the scholarship letter)
VO: (scan through the documents and passed them to me....started typing....
(me I just they look...for my mind, tell me those golden words.......)
Your visa is approved, take your Form I-20, you will need it at the point of entry bla bla bla...
ME: (smiles...) Thanks and walked away majestically

I want to sincerely appreciate everyone of us for our contributions to this thread. Special thanks to Slimmy and Darklight...u guys are wonderful.
Success to those that are going soon; u will also come here to testify.


Congrats....senior bros.

Bro thanks which one exactly.

bbdd:


Bro, one department in a school may have a surplus of funds and another might be cash strapped. Really there's no way you can judge a departments funding situation by school profile.
However some schools have funds more than others, granted.
I wish you the best in your funding search.

PS.These Indian admission threads have a lot of info on funding in engineering field. They may be of immense help to streamline your search.
Goodluck
