Misleading thoughts. Please do a better job

I have two MSc in quite similar fields, should I hide one when applying for PhD in the US? And what are my chances of getting into the top 20 engineering/CS schools?

Bsc Compi sci(3.2/4) Asia
MSc (4.6/5) Nigeria
MSc (3.8/4) Far Asia
I also have four years of teaching experience in higher education
No paper
The strike thing in this country made me run the second MSc. When I came back to naija I completed the first one. This is how got two MS.
Some answers please

Bro, I am happy for you. Your story gave me a lot of inspiration to always remain steadfast in any endeavor.

I guess the previous VO kept rejecting the application due to home ties: no wife, no kids. But the last VO really was swayed by the current job at a Federal university.

All the best, bro. Remain steadfast both in study and in faith. God has done it for you.

So is it advisable to fill in married(even though single) when submitting applications for PhD?

sujexy:
I meant to ask if they would give only first semester transcript?

They should.. I don't know if they do it.
Options to go about this:
PG school
Department PG coordinator
HOD.. if you have good relationship

Got my transcript once before it was ready for all students.. through the PG coordinator. Got PTDF local then

sujexy:
Thank you sire..

I am not sure Nigeria Universities offer such, do they?

I have never seen anything like that on Nigerian university PG admission advert

Thanks a lot

What are the scholarships available in China and when to apply:
1. Chinese Government Scholarship, widely known as CSC (China Scholarship Council)
2. Provincial Scholarships. For example, the Shanghai Government Scholarship, Henan Province Scholarship, etc
3. University Scholarships (or President Scholarship). Funded by universities themselves
4. MOFCOM (Ministry of Finance and Commerce) scholarship
5. ANSO scholarship
Usually sholarship and admission processes start in December and finish in April. Deadlines vary with universities

Hi guys, I can't find Nairaland thread for GRE and TOEFL. Pls share link if there is. Thanks

sujexy:
Does it mean that you applied before your masters elapsed?

Yes in China you can apply for MS or PhD before completing your studies. You should be in the final year or semester.
You submit your application with your current transcripts and a pre graduation certificate, progress report kind of thing

Attached

so yeah stipend is 3500rmb, 1500rmb for lodging.

But you know China borders are closed to all students except if you're from Korea Taiwan, Hongkong, right?

taiwo92:
Also, will like to know about the cost of living cos the total stipend is 5000 CYN per month. Tuition and accommodation are already taking care of.
Lastly, is it possible for me to travel with my wife?

Congratulations for the admission and scholarship. SJTU is among the top universities out there in China. Top 10 according to many rankings I believe.
Cost of living? You'll live fine with the amount you mentioned there. But are sure about that amount? CSC gives 3500 CYN per month. You got Shanghai government scholarship or other scholarship? Anyway you'll be fine

Going with spouse? I heard that it's difficult to do that now... unless she's got admitted there.

Bro, I have a good academic and research profile, please I need you to put me through. I have applied for ANSO Scholarship to University of Science and Technology, China. How does CGS works for this? Or ANSO and CGS are different scholarship bodies?

ANSO is different from CSC. ANSO is a kind of independent research organisation.

In ANSO there are only two universities applicants can choose from. While CSC you have more than hundred to choose from.

ANSO is only for science, technology, engineering kind of disciplines. CSC is for all majors and disciplines. There may also be differences in selection processes.

The competition will be tougher in ANSO. My opinion. But don't get discouraged, these are just the differences between CSC and ANSO scholarships

Dave0116:
Do I need acceptance letter for Undergraduate program?

I'm not so sure. Acceptance letter is more important for graduates students. Recently some schools have made it necessary to get one before applying for any graduate program. Never heard such regards to undergraduate programs.

So, just apply with or without acceptance letter.

godwinizu:
Hi Guys,

Pleas someone help me with answers....

Will getting an acceptance letter from a Professor improve my chances of getting Ph.D. scholarship in China? What other conditions can improve my chances?

Yes acceptance letter increases one's chances. Other things that can increase your chances are:
IELTS, HSK, Publications, and maybe recommendation letters

feldido:
You mean you received alert today?

Yesterday night

I received alert oo. This is 12 days after accepting the offer.

I pray for success. This scholarship will change my life

Don't be too f*king desperate. It is not everything. So calm down

It depends but you can get in a week or ten days. Some people get it done in less than a week.
