Swiftboy: I think its a neurological disorder. A comprehensive research into the root cause of the brain disorder can help eliminate pain without the use of drugs and to find an alternative way of helping the disorder! I think it'll have been better if it the disorder start as the surferrers grow and not a birth disorder.

Femicrux: Hey guys,

I'm preparing to write my GRE in December. Looking at Fall 2014 for masters admission. Not really decided on any school yet. Pls, who knows of good schools in US or Canada who offer international students scholarships (not necessarily full) or assistantship positions based on GRE scores?

Thanks.

jp philips: apparently, you didn't read the article

harsysky: Was that rili enof to activate that real rejection response wen ur actually told tis not real? Jst asking cos One hu asks doesn't miss road..

Tinkybabe: You are absolutely right! The response data should have been different from if it were a blind test.The result isn't credible enough in my opinion

Stone123: Even more than physical pain, rejections can withhold brain from doing its normal function for long compare to physical pain.

Ola one: You cook bucket-load of rice and keep in your freezer all week innit?
Interspersed with 1.99 chicken and chips, abi?

godG: In bold: NO sir
Sir,
the trend over the years is writing exams before applying. You don't need to rush, take one step at a time. Perhaps you are running behind schedule, put a mail, call, etc. through to ur school.

UNIXLover: Hello Family,
Do i wait till i write my GRE before i start sending my applications to schools?
Should i also pay application fees before i write my GRE?

God bless you guys

femoric9: Pls house,hope time is still on my side to appy for spring with d hope of a graduate assistantship,. I've written my GRE with 155Quant and 149Verbal. I will be writing TOELF dis month ............

You might want to start looking at Fall admission due to ASUU strike, as this would likely prevent you from applying for transcripts and getting hold of lecturers to serve you good recommendation letters. Another reason why you should also consider Fall admission session is that majority of graduate assistantship are available during Fall session.

Don't be ''afraid'' of your GPA, there is nothing you can do to raise it up, too late for that sir . Endeavor to write a believable SoP. However, I would advice you to apply to as many schools as possible and maybe stay away from the annoyingly competitive ones due to your academic stats.

To be honest, I don't think it's compulsory to ''always'' convert GPA to US equivalent. In my quest to know more, I've come across several US unis asking international students NOT to convert their gpa to American equivalent. I think it varies across Unis, so I suggest you ask the schools you are applying into. However, if you have $5, you can make use of iGPA service on WES website or use the steps earlier listed by BigFrancis. Alternatively, you could use foreigncredits.com. I've assessed it and it gives a gpa almost similar to WES, it's free to use.

Yes, you can apply before writing your TOEFL. I wish you the best.

slimmy05: I just see it as unfair on his part. The guy has his interview 3rd of oct and you deprived him of such opportunity. To me only a wicked heart will do such irrespective of little offence. Its just too extreme please. Even Seun himself would pardon him.

Tochium: Yes, its quite unfair, his interview is in 2days time. Pls justwise unban him so that he can learn more from Mandy's experience.

segzeybaba: anyone in sheffield? university of OR sheffield hallam! abeg hit me up make we hang out.

joeydozzy: Good Development
Great steps in neurodegenerative diseases

Though I don't think there'll be any explanation of phenotypic reactions to neuroleptic drugs side effects such as haloperidol to schizophrenia and mood relieving disorders

olupentane: I really appreciate your response,
but what if it's only the Msc.

olupentane: Gurus in the house
please I'm still an undergraduate studying statistics, but I've started gathering info and tips to make my international Msc hitch free. After some search I found out there is Msc&Phd (taught courses) and Msc&Phd (research work), but I've nt been able to get info on there diff as well as advantage and disadvantages, to know which one is worth putting for. Thank bosses

I'm not a guru here, but questions of this nature interests me

The statement in bold font is slightly ambiguous. Admittedly, there are MSc (taught option) and MSc by research programs. However, I doubt the existence of a PhD statistics program with no component of primary research.

Try to gather more info. Most science PhD programs in America have a similar pattern of requirements. During the first 2 years, a student is required to complete the taught component (coursework) of the program and maybe take some lab rotations. Subsequently, a student is then expected to pass a comprehensive (or quals) exam at the end of 2nd year before proceeding to candidacy. I believe this is when someone becomes a PhD candidate rather than a PhD student. At this stage, a student will be required to engage actively in research for the lab/group s/he had selected.

conyema12: Hi guys, pls i need to know; when submitting my applications to my school, do i also need to submit letter of finacial backing, its is among the pdf forms i printed from their application site. Thanx
