seeker88:Those people bug me tire! Application fee waiver this, application fee waiver that ... All in a bid to say many Africans apply to their programs only to finally reject them. Don't even count this one as part of your applications. @SirRiddy and drhopeful. Abeg give us the full jist. |
hirschfelder:This held me back from applying to some schools, aside my GRE score which isn't 170/170-Q. I believe other parts of my application were competitive enough for most Msc programs. But how them wan know say you deh try for other aspects, if your app cannot get in through the door because of GRE requirement? ![]() |
I guess they would give a couple Chincos with 169-Q 145-V 2.5-AWA the admit. Nothing spoil.145-v and 2.5AWA ![]() Finally na just 1 admit pesin need sef. Getting all admits is just for self-aggrandizement.I sweaaaar, just 1. Plenty admits no good ooo, e dey cause confusion! mostly when the packages from the schools are similar. ...especially as the dollar is expected to rise to 650N before the year runs out.This your play na rough play, Stop am! ![]() |
@OGreene. Thanks. shayhune:1. Did they initially give you any funding? 2. What magnitude of funding are you requesting for now? Master, I deh work o so small bread deh enter. August still far, maybe I sell one kidney take complete the money. ![]() |
Next stage is getting more funding, How do I go about getting tuition fully waived? Lamar has about $5k as instate, TAMUK has about 3k5 as instate tuition. I am also aware of the associated costs. When will be the best time to submit my financial statement? Is a further tuition waiver more feasible than an assistantship? Answers are very welcome. |
sirRiddy:Bossman, I never believed those schools could drop their 1cent for free. I am very optimistic I can get more from them since the dollars have started dropping already, because I will not be battling for funding from scratch. Lemme give them a little breathing space while waiting for the final 3 decisions also.[s]About hustling, while still in Nigeria between now and July pepper suppose rest.[/s] ![]() Thanks man. |
SirRiddy, MAY GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY! I want to break the silence here today.... I was encouraged to ask about funding by SirRiddy and not form OmoBabaOlowo, I did ask and TAMUK just replied me in roughly 24hrs with an offer of $1k annual scholarship and I'll pay in-state tuition! The remaining fees required are what can be "hustled-out". If and When I get a GA, talk don finish! I will be attending school on a financial stress-free level. ![]() Make una join me thank God ooo. #TexasIsCalling I dey come reply una congratulatory messages, make I go drink 1 bottle of wine first... ![]() |
andradaeze:So true.... I am still stretching my patience till April for the remaining decisions. |
drhopeful: Abeg o! |
@Topiipii. Congratulations! We will all get funded, the wait is on. @Towbaynah. Relax bro, better news will come your way. I am also waiting for decisions from the 'heavy weights' I applied to. |
@Seeker88. Congratulations!!! Admission is in.... Funding is next! |
Hushee:Abeg who be baba?? ![]() |
towbaynah:O mennn, it isn't easy. Your panic attack makes me laugh! ![]() I am chasing the grad schools for more money, I smile each time a mail enters my box.. It always turns out to be linkedin or some career website. Which kind problem be this one. |
sirRiddy:Thank you. I go reason them wella. @Tescoman90. Thanks. |
sirRiddy: TAMUKingsville must pay me!!! I feel I stand a very good chance with them. Lamar has tried, will still work on them. |
@SirRiddy. Does a Research Assistantship come with a scholarship or tuition waiver? I know it has a monthly stipend. |
@Toakins, Adetola007. Thank you. @Divabiola. Congratulations! More good news coming in. |
@Layez, Shayhune. Thanks again. amofum:Amofum, I did a breakdown of how possible it is to survive in Yankee, it is within my reach. I have a sponsor though but if my sponsor begins to speak grammar, I should still be able to pull through. |
seeker88:I submitted January 9th, I attached my transcript to my application. Sent it also with other supporting documents by email to them. |
fredoricko:hahahahaha! No mind me jare. I meant 5k per semester for tuition is within reach na. @Ponpon. No wahala. |
shayhune:No deh shout like this na. They need a financial statement of 18k, 9k5 is living cost. How much remain? 9k which is annual.... Split into 2 and it is 'hustle-able'. |
ponpon:Mine has 3 in same state, I care less. I'll handle it, I have always known it might flag. Yours in same region isn't much of a problem. |
Scholastica16:Boss man, it is ooo. Texas is calling me.... and I am going there. ![]() |
shayhune:Baba, can you compare $15k of Texas to $27k of others? I can hustle out Texas fees o, it's not an Otedola something. ![]() |
@hirschfelder, Andradaeze, Time2smile. Thank you very much. Time2Smile:Your head is valid! I know how to handle that issue. |
@Jaybiz007, Ponpon, ipledge01, cephas0009. Thanks all. @Oludare01. Texas loves me! See as the admissions deh enter.Their fees are affordable, admissions 'easy' and it is a good state for my intended major. |
As The.Zed said, I got my second admission decision yesterday... An Acceptance! TAMUkingsville, Industrial Eng. Fall 2017. No word on funding yet. Was asked to contact the departmental coordinator for further news. Decision 2/5. |
omoluabiguy:Masters only. |
mrsmith11:I put up my profile a few days ago. They have a priority deadline of mid April, I applied mid January so they took me as seriously as I took them. I was offered a 1k scholarship bundled with a tuition waiver. I just saw your pm on NL, no mail in my box yet. Network is terrible where I am. You can mail me on icoolnaija at g mail dot com |
imperiouxx:12 programs was a whole lot. Thanks boss. |
