Hello NL,

I'm new here, I intend writing GRE, then apply to Canada or USA graduate school and get FUNDING too. In all sincerity, I no wan come back after studies

My question is, which of the two countries will be easier in terms of allow someone staying back to work after studies. Thanks

Old or new, no one is beyond research, my advice would be for you to go through the thread, quora, gradcafe or even google. You can then come back and discuss your reservations based on your research.
P.S Try to see gradschool from a personal development perspective rather for job seeking.

i have a skpe interview for a PhD admission, my research topic is MACHINE LEARNING FOR TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORKS.... I was asked to prepare the specific challenge am going to solve using machine learning for the interview. Please i need advice on what to do...
i also need tips on how to excel in the interview cus i have never heard one before.

This is a great opportunity for you to discuss your research interest. I think only you can help you at this point, it is your research, you have to own it and be confident in discussing the purpose of your research. Asides from the regulare interview tips; be yourself, be clear and go straight to the point, communicate your thoughts simply and welcome your interviewers opinion. You should be fine. its kinda wierd saying this but know your research topic.

Good luck

I can share with you on whatsapp

Forgive my blunders if any
I had to decide btw writing it in a hurry or not writing at all cos I may forget.

Hello fall 18 hopefuls and fall 19 aspirants, i have been going through every detail on this thread and I have benefitted from every bit of it and hope to still keep benefitting from it.
I would like to share a bit of my experience in hopes that this may motivate fall and spring 19 applicants.
My application status is as follows:
UCSC - Ms Applied economics and finance Admit (4k funding)
UIUC - Ms Finance Admit
NCSU - Ms Financial Mathematics Reject
RPI - Ms Quantitative finance and risk analytics Admit
UNCC - Ms Mathematical Finance Pending
OKSU - Ms Quantitative Financial Economics Admit (Full ride as an RA)
Stevens Tech - Ms Finance Admit (10k funding)
Illinois Tech - Ms Finance Admit

I would normally have thought I had a low profile compared to what I have seen on here, but from what I have learnt so far, each applicant is peculiar and Gods favour accounts for much more.
I gave gre a go but was not close to my target score (156Q 155V 4AWA). Regardless of this I stuck to my timelines and worked on other aspects of my applications. I am forever grateful to my recommenders and sop reviewers, it helped cover some of my shortfalls, My personal experiences, work experience also helped a great deal. I wanted to outsource the SOP thing but while I was doing that I was required to write something on my background, before I knew it I had written over a page and I was only halfway done. At that point I decided to write it myself. I hoped and prayed after applying and before I knew it admits started rolling in.
My advice is research on your schools, have a target gre score (get at it and don't be like me), have a plan and timeline for every bit of the application requirement and stick to it. Augment your profile with the God factor.

stats( if you care)
GRE : 311
GPA: 3.4/4 (3.96/5 9ja)
W.E : 2 years (relevant to some of the coursework)
Publication: None, tho, I helped with a journal


Good luck guys.
Cheers.

Hello md17, I have to say I agree totally with dmajor1, however I must warn you I have limited knowledge of your field.
In applying or preparing for grad school the key thing is being honest with yourself and believing in yourself at the same time. This helps you strengthen your profile in areas you can and also in putting your best foot forward. While most programs prefer 3.0 GPAs( of 4), it never guarantees admission. My advice:

- believe in yourself and trust God
- do your research on schools that have your desired program, you can have a spreadsheet for this
- ace the gre, toefl
- make sure your sop details your research, experiences and skills
- Try to get recommenders that can corroborate your research and work experience.


No idea what biotech entails (too tired to Google ) but go for a course that has something in tech especially for US schools, or at least good prospects in years to come.


Good luck

Bro, you have had a fantastic experience so far. I personally think whatever we do, we should look at what it'd do for us and how we can use it if/when we eventually return back home. The reality of the Nigerian situation as it is today is that everyone else aside Medical Laboratory Scientists are locked out of clinical diagnostic laboratories. Pharmaceutical microbiology on the other hand doesn't sell so well. I have interned in a pharmaceutical firm before and the reality on ground in the quality assurance department is that the ratio of chemical analysts to microbiologist is like 5:1. Some organizations don't even have microbiologists at all. They let the Chemist's, biochemists or pharmacists do the job. In view of this, I'd run from clinical laboratory science. Pharmacology on another hand is a degree that doesn't sell well in this country. The best jobs that most of them do is medical sales representative for pharmaceutical companies. If you want to know what I'd do if I'm in your shoes, I'd go for that degree in biotechnology. I know you'd ask why. It's simply because of its interdisciplinary nature. With biotechnology, you have many options. It's like chemistry. With it, you can decide to delve into renewable energy, environmental engineering, health care, public health, drug development, food science and many more. I think a masters degree in biotechnology would really open your eyes to limitless possibilities. But then, you're the one that know what you want out of life. The decision still rests on your shoulders.

In respect of your CGPA, it's below the 3.0 that most American schools want for graduate studies but I have seen people in the last few days who got in to their choice programs with a CGPA as low as 2.71. Their secret;

1. They started their preparation early.
2. They aced GRE and TOEFL.
3. They researched many schools and sent alot of mails enquiring about their chances.
4. They packaged their applications well.
5. They were tenacious in their belief.

You can do all these things. It's not always about your grades alone. Your experience can count for alot. Sell yourself well and trust God for the best. I believe that this is not impossible. Good luck with your preparation.

i think you missed out one of the key aspects of the application pack, SOP.

Put your LOR on auto-pilot with regular reminders and work on your SOP for 2-3 months

I advise you call BY Mafit to reschedule your test.

Yes, Magoosh also has a 90-day GRE prep schedule. I can't emphasize taking a diagnostic test enough. It's very important.
I think I understand where you're right now.

Here's a timeline you (as well as other Fall 2019 hopefuls) may consider: Disclaimer: user discretion is advised!

April: TOEFL - After 1 month of prep. ( 2 weeks is enough to get decent scores. Heck, I had a manageable score with about 10 days of prep). Within this time, research schools you'll be applying to. Don't waste the free score reports. Consider admission requirements, faculty in your interested research areas, funding scene, etc.
Suggested TOEFL materials: ETS free materials and notefull.com

July: GRE - After 3 months of assiduous prep. Apart from the diagnostic test. Consider taking at least 3 full tests simulating exam situation (write the essays too) (that's 1 every month).
Suggested materials: Magoosh videos, the 3 ETS official guides, Manhattan 5lb for quants, Magoosh flashcard for vocabs, Princeton review for verbal, "Ready4" app on Android/iOS - for prepping on the go, etc.

August: start the application process, apply for transcripts if required, inform you recommenders (it's advisable you give them 1 month notice + gentle reminders)

September/October: LORs should have been completed by now. Start submitting your applications...

For starters, share your profile with the house. Now is the best time to seek clarifications to your doubts. It'll be tough to get responses once Fall 2018 hopefuls resume. All the best!

What works for him will not work for you.
There is what is called destiny

I'm the laziest person on earth, but when i was a kid i knew i would be a millionaire, i use to tell my friends then that even if i sleep for 60 years straight without working that im destined to be rich, i eventually became a millionaire at the age of 22 without working for no one for a single day, that's destiny

If hard work guarantees success barrow pushers, brick layers, bus drivers would be billionaires because those guys grinds and works harder than everyone in this world

This right here is the problem of Nigeria today. You should have slept for 60 years.

Pls how much would this cost me in Naira and how long
