The institute is really popular among Mathematics and Physics grads. Can you please send me a mail to the email on my signature?

We need to chat. Thanks

Definitely boss

Great. With you saying it, I know you are a student of AIMS.

Yes I am a student at AIMS Rwanda
Lolzz....you're a genius, I'm here wondering how you knew.

I just got my GRE score of 324, I have a cgpa of 3.86 (b.agric).
I need advice on universities to apply to for scholarship and ga.

Bravo bro!!!

Admitwithschola:
I think if you coordinate well, you can go to very top schools in the US, not just any school. There is a boy here who got into Stanford with your same GPA, but engineering. His GRE was very/excellent too and comments about his score led to a long debate. He hasn't even done MSc - US don;t need MSc for the most part.

I strongly believe your profile has a big potential for top places, or at least places just below the top.

Come back to these threads when you have your GRE scores ready. In the mean time, try to get people who will write you really excellent letters of recommendation. This was what I usually advised in my past posts. Letters are extremely important for PhD

Do you have research experience and possibly research papers beyond BS/MS projects?

Thank you, I guess I have to focus on acing the GRE before anything else, as per my research experience, that's another aspect of my profile I have to improve on since I have just one research paper at the moment.

You have a good GPA. What's your course of study?

BSc Physics
MSc Mathematical Science #ongoing (Mathematical Physics option)

Admitwithschola:
All things are necessary in admissions. Nothing is sufficient.

That said, many programs require subject test, but there are some that only require general. Perhaps getting a long list of schools split into 'need and not need' subject test could help.

In case you also have a sound BS and MS GPA, strong research experience, great letters from your professors and maybe some working papers or publications, you will be at an advantage if your GRE scores turn out well too.

Thanks a lot for your tips

Admitwithschola:
I agree with this, if you have the resources.

But it's not just taking sha, these tests have to be blasted, both general and subject.

Thanks a lot for your kind response

Thank you so much, I have a 4.69 BS CGPA, I hope to finish with a strong MS gpa as well, as per research, I have just one paper, considering my financial situation I can only afford to take the GRE general test and TOEFL

Thanks a lot for the information

Thanks a lot

Good day everyone, pls I need your advice, I'd be wrapping up my MS in physics soon, I want to apply for PhD in the USA, and I'm planning on taking the GRE general test, but I also found out that there's a physics GRE test and some graduate programs in physics would require one to take it, my question is this, will taking the GRE general test and TOEFL be sufficient enough for me to get into some of these programs?

Enlighten me more on it

Hi I'm applying to UCT, Let's connect

Lolzz, that fee in naira is a whopping sum , we're talking 50+k, I'd advise you refer to earlier messages on this thread, specially for UBC a method of doing the application without having to pay the app fee was discussed explicitly, but then , I don't know for certain if same approach can be used for Berkely

Thanks a lot for the update

Anybody here applying for this scholarship?

I just did, kindly check ur mail.

I received the aforementioned mail, some 2weeks plus ago, I was told to pick between Structural Geology with geophysics and Engineering geology or a deferred Exp. Gphy option for 2021, I suppose u got it too, I have until the end of tomorrow to make a pick, I didn't respond to it bcs I was waiting to see the Shell list.

GreatArchy:
Univesity of Leeds, Exploration Geophysics...
what about you?

I also applied to same school and department, did u receive any mail from Leeds pertaining suspension of the Exploration Geophysics program?

No update yet oh!........chaiii

alright

@Lilcaz What school and course did u apply to in the SPDC scholarship?

I haven't, perhaps I'll surmount pressure on them by dropping my own text too. the wait is annoying

Yea, I guess so, because I recall she said the results will be announced by the end of last month.

Leeds Exploration geophysics

I was interviewed but no update from them yet, were u also interviewed?

I got interviewed, but haven't heard from them yet

did anyone got interviewed here?

Samyokporua:
Hi Admin, please what do they mean by this:

"Completed scholarship application forms must reach participating universities and the local Nigerian consultant not later than April 15, 2020".
Because if we just applied to the universities in the UK, amid this pandemic, does it mean the university has to grant us admission then give us the scholarship application form that we then have to fill and upload back before 15th? The scholarship just barely came out as well

Exactly bro, did u eventually apply?

mummy1964:
