Greetings,

I am new to this thread, I'll like to seek more knowledge and clarification from the elders here on this great forum. I got admitted to University of Michigan Ann Arbor for my PhD Degree in Chemical Engineering coupled with a full Graduate Research Assistantship Position that covers all my entire cost both tuition and fees without any deficit (0.00).

Please I'll like to know if I'll still need to go along with the SOA to the embassy or not. Thanks and I await your kind response.

congrats ,seems ur GRE score is so high cos I have a friend that applied there and was not giving funding too

AgreatMan:
I think you need to figure out why a lot of schools turn u down first.

8 applications r quite a lot. Your test scores were average but they r adequate. Can u share your CGPA? If your undergraduate CGPA was tight, the only other thing we can blame is your SOP n LOR, relevant software or experience.

Can u handle softwares like MATLAB, ORIGIN and ABAQUS? You don't hv to master them before u sneak them into your CV (ask d Indians n Chinese). The Indians n Chinese don't only claim knowledge of things they can't fully do, their overall presentation is usually neat. They also spend money getting people to Behind up their application. Even your CV might not have been worded properly.

Did your recommenders wrote great stuffs or did they just wrote a few lines?

The most important document in my opinion is your SOP. was it well articulated or will they have a hard day deciphering what u wrote because of grammar n punctuation usage? If I am to make a guess, your SOP is probably the biggest culprit.

Find out what the problem is first.

CGPA is never my problem though ,I have a 4.52/5.0 CGPA . I will be glad if u can help me review my SOP and I can send u d recommendation letter my Prof sent also to help me check it out. God bless

As your fellow engineer, I'll tell you that getting funding for engineering programs are very difficult.

PhD is an easy way out as PhD can be easily funded.

Check out NIU for next fall if you can wait and I will advice you how to get a full tuition waiver.

,I checked them out already ,they don't have PHD program in mechanical engineering. Can I have ur contact to private chat u beta.Regards

Please I need a very cogent advice. I applied to up to 8 schools, only 3 gave me admission with no funding except New Haven DAT give 50% scholarship. I have issues with funding as I don't have a sponsor. I have 301 on my GRE and 94 on TOEFL. I want to study Mechanical engineering for my MSC program. Please I need advice on schools I can re- apply to for full funding. Thanks

Visa Approved today at the Abuja Embassy.

Here's an abridged version of my transcriot to K.I.S.S.

VO: Hello
Me: Oh Hi!
VO: I can see you're going for your Doctorate in aerospace engineering at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Me: Thats correct.
VO: Are you married?
Me: Nope, I am single.
VO: Why the Univerisity of Cincinnati?
Me: My choice of schools was based on the Carnegie Classification of Institutes of Higher Education in which UC falls under the Schools with Very High Research activity(R1). I had emailed many profs with similar research interests who work in schools within the R1 list and received interesting replys from the Profs at UC. Also, they have a really strong faculty. Particularly, the first man to land on the moon surface, Neil Armstrong, was a one-time member of the aerospace engineering faculty and helped develop it. The above helped to shape my decision.

VO: **cute smile** Whats your research field about?
Me: oh I am interested in the aerodynamics of airfoils as well as the development of miniaturized satellites--CubeSats in particular.

VO: *smiles* and asks, whats your highest degree qualification?
Me: I currently hold a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering from the University of xxxx where i finished with a first class.

VO: hmm, i can see from your I-20 that you've been offered full scholarships.

Me: That's Correct.

VO: I will be approving your Visa. Please keep your I-20 very safe as you will be needing it at the POE.


I am grateful to God for his grace.

She's not to blame.

Sex is actually a thing of the mind. Your mind still holds past events, and you still crave for them.
If you really love her, you'd put companionship first, over sex. A time would come when sex would be the least thing on your mind, then what?


Love is about sacrifice. If she can't give you good sex(how you want it), then give her good sex(how she wants it). That's LOVE!

we would have separated long ago if not for d love i have for her and i have try all possible means to ensure that we both enjoy it. I only seek for what more we can do to have a good and wonderful sex together because it seems i have a high libido for sex than her and dont want to cheat her

I am seeking for advice regarding my soon to be wife. I do not ever enjoy having sex with her despite the fact that we have been dating for the past 6 years and i disvirgin her back then. But to someone like me who in one way or the other tasted a lot of other girls out there which is both our fault. But now that am ready to walk down the aisle with the same woman, the guilty conscience wont let me rest and feel the need to find a lasting solution for our predicament. She get irritated easily during romance because she hate sucking and the likes which give me pleasure. She lacks energy and will not allow you to change the style or position u are doing during sex. Our sex life have been so boring that i dont even bother request for the second round because i dont enjoy her and she doesnt even have the energy for it. please and please house, i need advice on what she can do because i love her and will not want to cheat on her. Thanks
