bro is there age limit to writhing gre n getting school funding in US?

NO

Nope, it is not accepted.
You should ask your school to send the I-20 again, you probably need to pay for the shipping again.

Good afternoon everyone. Please I need advise,

I gained admission into Morehouse college, and I've done everything necessary and also scheduled an appointment with the Lagos embassy. The only thing is my school used FedEx to mail my i-20 since 2 weeks ago and I've not received it. But I have a PDF copy the DSO signed and m sent to my email. Can I print that out in case FedEx doesn't deliver in time?

Thank you

Search for Gilbert Strang on YouTube. You can also check MIT open courseware. If you want only the knowledge without a certificate attached to it, then this will be a good option for you.

Good day everyone, please does anyone know where one can do a university level linear algebra and calculus as a friend who is not from a management background wants to go for a management masters degree?
Perhaps online preferably

Go through this thread from page 1 - 372. Also there is this wonderful tool called google.com it is very affordable. You will be needing it through out your application process.

I am sure that after getting all the info you need, you will deactivate your account and never come to nairaland again.

Good luck to escaping from Nigeria.

Hello NL,

I'm new here, I intend writing GRE, then apply to Canada or USA graduate school and get FUNDING too. In all sincerity, I no wan come back after studies

My question is, which of the two countries will be easier in terms of allow someone staying back to work after studies. Thanks

Wow!
You have an awesome CGPA (it will be around 3.7 - 3.75 WES conversion) coupled with one year experience as a research assistant and relevant experience too. With a good GRE and TOEFL scores, right choice of schools, you will surely get a full funded PhD offer.

I will advise you to give GRE your best, the exam is a bit tricky but with consistent practice you'd get a competitive score.

Check petersons.com to select list of schools, Gradcafe to see profiles of student admitted to programs you intend to apply to. I particularly don't like giving applicants list of schools. Also, use Quora, Linkedln the importance of networking(contacting graduate students in the prospective lab/program you intend applying to) can not be overemphasised.

I would advise you to register for membership of Education USA, due to your class of degree membership form will be free. Also, apply for opportunity funding program. Visit this link; https://ng.usembassy.gov/education-culture/exchange-programs/opportunity-fund/


P.S: I deleted my previous account because my moniker was my real name, you may have read my story. I am Mechanical Engineering major too, I will be pursuing PhD (direct PhD) in mechanical engineering this fall.

Success bro!

..

Anyway, I plan on writing this exam soon. However, I will like to go for a direct Phd programme and I really need help with schools who can offer full funding.

Here is my profile ;
Undergraduate: B.Eng. Mechanical
CGPA: 4.57/5. I don't know what that would be on the WES scale, maybe 3.6/4 dunno
Experience: Graduate Research Assistant 1yr., Automotive/ energy establishment 7months
PhD Focus: Mechanical Eng. (Sustainable/Renewable Energy/Climate Adaptation, Energy/Power, Material Science)
Schools Projected: I'm looking at UT, Boston University, Purdue and University of Minnesota

I kindly need advice and suggestions from all the pillars of this thread. Cheers!!!

Congratulations!!!
I admire your tenacity, inspiring indeed.

MY STORY IN FULL!!!

On the back of 5 visa denials (admitted into UBC, Canada and visa denied 3times due to insufficient funds, travel history etc plus Cleveland State University - admitted, no GRE, no funding, denied twice last year) I went to the embassy yesterday. Got there about 5:50am for a 7am appointment. After all the checking in, we got on the queue to be interviewed. Windows 1&2 were not available so we sha couple. A VO was speaking Yoruba to aged applicants, it was really funny . Lots of Babcock students were on the queue, all of dem just collecting white paper like kilode Every interviewee had 2 others lined up behind them. The CGI lady sha put me in between 2 queues wen i got to d front. As I tried going to the lady in window 4 in an attempt to avoid a man from interviewing me based on my previous experiences, the lady dragged me back to the guy in window 6. Na so I look up say God Na mercy I need. After he denied the person right in front of me, he beckoned on me. I was like Jesú Klisti ooooooo. Did you mean me or my ancestors
