Undergrad course and GPA: Petroleum Engineering, 4.3/5
MSc GPA: Materials Engineering, 4/4
GRE (Verbal and Quant scores): 157V, 164Q, 4AW
TOEFL scores: 107
Work Experience: 8 years
Papers Published: Nil
Date of application and decision date: Nov 10, 2016 / Feb 27, 2017

I would also like to mention that I had no contact whatsoever with anyone from the school. Not even for an interview. So you can imagine the shock.

Now this is very insightful ... Thanks for sharing ... 8 years work experience (as in that's enough already talkless of the UK master degree with a 4/4) ... so most of us now know what it takes to get into PennState with full funding ... Let's keep announcing admits like this so we can tell which school matches our profile ... especially the young ones like US ... #MoneyCannotComeAndWaste edakun ... Thanks once again and i wish you all the best Ma

My intended course too. Did you complete any of your previous degrees in Materials Engineering? My first and second degrees were in Mechanical Engineering.
I've not taken GRE yet, what's the hurry when Fall 2017 admission is near impossible?

That's why I asked for her profile so it could save people like me and you from asking lots of questions:

Undergrad course and GPA,
MSc GPA,
GRE (Verbal and Quant scores)
TOEFL scores
Work Experience
Papers Published
Date of application and decision date ... e.t.c

Oya drhopeful do the needful ASAP ... I think admits should be announced like that to save time and stress ... these threads are not fun to read at all but we just have to do it and contribute in anyway we can.

drhopeful:
And it's Penn State breaking the ice!!!!! Acceptance with full funding for first year. Subsequent funding dependent on 3.0gpa blah blah and availability of funding..... Now I am relieved!!!! Thank you guys for all the encouragement!!!

Congratulations!!!
kindly share your profile ??
PhD or MS ??

In Tennessee?

each system has its own ear plug n incase u cant find, jst ask or complain n dey will surely get U one.

Thanks. I hope JKK center will be able to provide that for me cos I'm about getting one for myself so I can use it during practice tests.

Do they allow a candidate come in with earplugs at the JKK center in Lagos ... I mean for the GRE exam cos I get distracted by noise.

"45k with B.Y MAFIT" please how can I get B. Y MAFIT, I wnt to register too

I visited the company today. It's located along No. 77 Obafemi Awolowo road (one access bank like dat) around ikeja. Their promo is still on:
GRE is 50k including a free Kaplan material
TOEFL is 45k including a free Kaplan material and a one month free lecture(every Tuesdays and Thursdays).

All the best with your process.

amanze15:
schools Up there tend to be a bit too competitive for reasons known to them, but an outstanding profile should be good enough for you. just get in touch with a professor in charge of that research program which most interdisciplinary program seems to be

it's no.1 on my list tho. thanks for the info ... I don't really get what you meant by "schools up there"

How ambitious is University of Colorado Boulder Interdisciplinary Telecom Program for MSc? and how difficult is it to get a RA placement?

Anyone has access to www.usnews.com paid account?

fredoricko:
It's a uniben affair

So Epa you dey here too...nice

I would like appreciate everyone that contributes to this thread in a positive way. I believe my successful Visa transcript would be in this part 11. I have been mostly a silent reader while getting ready to migrate to this thread from the GRE thread. We can do this, Yes We can.

Hi, can i get a link to the GRE thread ? ... going through these pages is quite challenging ... Thanks

Fall 2018 where are we ?

generalfag:
Thanks

Got Ulm n hamburg on that site. No one else is coming up

You should see more schools. They are there

Williamso:
Did you read my last post? If you did, did you pay attention to the last but one sentence? If either answer is 'No', please stop feeling and read the post. And come on! You can google "TU9"; it's only 3 characters

Please let's use cooler tones when communicating with new folks on here. At least they made the first step by asking questions. Feel free to assist anyone without hesitating. Thanks

Greetings everyone,
Please am interested in studying computer science (Undergraduate) in Germany. Have gone through the thread, and I must confess u guys are doing a great job, have gotten the skeletal structure of the whole procedure. Thanks

I have OND in computer science and have tried searching for schools, got a university in Ulm offering computer science and another university in Hamburg.

Have contacted the one in Ulm on Phone and was told they admit only for winter semester and application is currently closed.

My dilemma now is; the university in Ulm wants my documents assessed by studienkolleg, but the one in Hamburg uses Unii-assist, please I need more schools under studienkolleg or uniassist offering computer science at undergraduate level, I intend applying to as many schools as possible.

Thanks a lot

Start from this website https://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programs/en/
You can tailor your search to computer science programs.

In other words, it is foolhardy to Base your admission quest on school rankings because as far as German public universities are concerned, they are all of high standard. I posted something once where a school was ranked as a "top school" because of the PhD programs but had not-too-impressive Master programs. These rankings are, for most of the time, meaningless.
Also I have not heard of anyone being denied a job offer based on the person's Alma mater; all other things being equal.

Last bullet: Follow curricula, not rankings...

Now that's what I call a positive feedback...Cool tho but I keep hearing that the city where one studies matter too... Thanks

Williamso:
I will not do that! Feel free to apply to only the 9 schools. Seems you're more after a school's reputation than the curriculum it has to offer. Good luck in your admissions.

And yes! The difference in quality is much. Schools outside the TU9 are more or less glorified secondary schools. I would reckon you go to AUN or Covenant, or even North American University than go to any school outside TU9.

I don't get? That sounded rude you know

But thanks for the info anyways...Cheers!!!

Williamso:
Please what's your definition of a "top school"?

I'm actually referring to the engineering schools tho. The TU9s and other good Universities.

Feel free to enlighten me on the quality other schools in germany also possess. I've leanrt that it is easier to get admitted into the "not too popular" Institutions compared to the popular ones. I would like to know if the difference in the quality ain't that much. I look forward to getting a MSc in communication engineering or Digital Humanities tho.

Nnamdyjoe:
Its kind of o, I applied since, yet to get a reply to one the universities, but still believing in God.

Majority do not apply to the TU9 schools of which I don't know why. I plan on applying to the southern schools tho because of proximity to the tech companies and cities like Munich and Stuttgart.

So @Nnamdyjoe which university did you apply to?

How come the engineering students on here do not go to the top schools in Germany. Is it that difficult to get admitted into one of them?

tbtone:
Congratulations Plismoll, more testimonies to come your way.
LeProf and Ichommy I salute wuna, I like your comments. Wish u the best.
Anyone planning for COME(TUM), COMMASS(STUTTGART), ComEng(RUB) or ACCESS (TU Dresden)...2017?

Yeah I am also planning that. RWTH CE is No.1 on my list tho. Will like to discuss with likeminds on here. Cheers!!!
