I'll assume you are using a PC.. i think you should review your application..especially the first questionnaire. It is possible you left a required section blank.

TheBatman:
please as at this morning I was having issues submitting, as the submit button wasn't going through. I clicked in the submit button several times but yet it didn't still work. Please I need a solution to this guys. Thanks

.

Thank you

DarryOsh:
yes, Subject is your course of study

Thanks a lot for this.

greatfoly:
I've successfully submitted mine.

1. Best left blank
2. Sub-school is your department. while Subject is your course of study. Both department and course are majorly the same, but for some people, their course is different from their department. e.g. in OAU we have "Politics, Philosophy and Economics" as a course under Political science department, and we also have Political science as a course under same department of political science. I hope you get now?
3. Yes, put the subjects and their respective grades

Thanks.. but what is "subject", is that my course of study? I just want to be sure

Vizzim:
You av to fill all those if not u won't be able to submit ur application.

Pls who has sucfessfully completed this application? I am just on the 2nd page and I am finding a lot of things confusing.
1. Expected pay? I have left this blank because I do not know what to put.
2. Under education history, Sub-School/ Department should be the course right? Then please what is "Subject"?
3. Just to be sure, for the high school certificate result, I am supposed to list all the subjects taken in SSCE and their respective grades right?

Please I need clarification.

University of Pittsburgh, University of Alabama (huntsville and tuscaloosa) and university of north carolina charlotte. All masters for fall 2017

Cephas0009:
I started the application with the intention to apply for masters but after my experience last year, I tot it was better to apply 4 phd as it increases chances for funding. Where and what term r u applying for ?

I thinm its the graduate trainee because I didnt apoly for the temporary recruitment and I got the same mail.

Izen:
They're supposed to send another email giving us details according to them. Please what exactly did you apply for? Is it the Temporary recruitment which included staying your preferred state or the general graduate trainee own?

Is your application to UofH for PHD? I dnt thnk they provide any form of funding for masters.

Cephas0009:
Evening friends... I understand the primary purpose of this group is to provide necessary information that will help members ace the GRE and we av done well in this regards. However, the main goal is to secure admission (with funding) . Please I suggest we discuss our admission applications, efforts we av made in reaching out to faculties n possibly the status of ouuur application if any yet. I believe we can learn one or two things from each other's experience so far. I also understand individuals can want to be discreet with their applications until fruition, it's fine.


I applied to UofH n KSU for fall 2017. I completed both applications last year. I had admission for MS Mech Engr Fall 2016 in SDSM&T and SIT last year but I didn't pursue further since neither came with funding option, I deferred SDSM&T to fall 2017 n m still hopeful of securing the service of a faculty for a potential GA. The few times I have gotten replies to my email is when they want to explain that they r not taking new research students.

How is it going from ur end Sirs & Mas?

Please how do I pay/register for my GRE exam. I intend to write it this February.

Wow!! Very wonderful score.. I dnt mind getting this your score at all.. I am actually quite worried about my speaking because I thnk I spoke too fast. Congratulations tho! The wait is finally over.

Scholastica16:
Thanks to everyone who kept asking and showing concern. My TOEFL was released today.

(R 29 L 29 S 26 W 28) composite: 112

Nothing earth-shattering. The highlight of my score is my speaking of 26 (which I didn't expect as I had informed the house earlier that I barely ever finished explaining myself when the time elapsed. One other time I meant to say 'dilemma' (someone was stuck between choices) and I ended up saying 'debacle'. Quickly changed it to predicament which is a good synonym for dilemma. I felt it would come-out imprecise to whoever was scoring me sha but it is whatever. Lowlight will be the writing joor. I expected a full 30 as I constantly compared myself to the Indians and Russians online that got 115-118 with perfect Writing scores.

I want to accuse ETS of malfeasance and demographic bias in scoring but I don't have empirical evidence.

I know this is a GRE thread but if anyone is preparing for TOEFL especially the speaking aspect do not panic if you are talking and you see the seconds ticking away. The evidence shows that one's overall score is not affected by this. Do not also panic if you finish talking way before the time. I don't think it hurts one's overall score as well. Try to pronounce your words slowly (many don't know this but Nigerians are accused of talking too fast).

Cheers.

Thanks. I guess he was just trying to indicate that I had some form of experience in the field. My preparation for graduate study was in a different paragraph

Scholastica16:
It won't. How did he relate your industrial experience in Power Systems engineering to your preparation for graduate work? That's what they would be looking out for.

Hello guys please I need your opinion on this issue.
I am applying for MS in ECE with communications as my area of interest.
My referee however mentioned my industrial experience in power systems engineering in his recommendation letter.
I think mentioning power systems engineering might reduce my chances of getting in since I am going for communications.
I need your opinions please!

Time didnt permit me to source for materials. How did your test go?

ponpon:
I took the test the same day, thanks for the person that shared the magoosh account, although magoosh is way tougher than the actual test. Cracking the toefl by Princeton is the best prep for the toefl in my opinion

I was at jkk to take toefl this morning. I must say the real exam was a little bit more difficult than I expected.
The questions for both the listening and reading sections wer a little bit confusing, infact the only section I found very easy was the writing section.
I used roughly five days to prepare for the test and from my experience, I dnt thnk it requires a lot of time, its just about having a strategy for answering questions (Notefull videos really helped). So I'm thankful I didnt spend so much time studying.
I just hope I get up to my target score.

I plan to apply to (MS in ECE)

University of Pittsburgh
Illnois institute of tech
University of Alabama
UT arlington

I am also looking at syracuse, Clemson.

Please can anyone provide info on the oppurtunities for fundig in these schools.

I saw the bolded too but then I got confused by another info along the line. I mailed the grad coordinator for the dept this evening..I havent gotten a response.

Scholastica16:
Depends on how you checked. As a matter of principle, I do not rely on the information on the portal as that is subject to change. I always try to contact the Grad coordinator to get real time information. So I actually mailed the grad coordinator for the department and that was the feedback he gave. I believe this was the actual construction:

"The deadline for PhD applications was December 5th; the deadline for Master’s applications is January 15

I get it now..thanks. I am applying for Ms

ChemEngr01:
The first deadline is probably for early bird admission. Most schools have two deadlines: early bird and the final one. Most applicants send in their application before the final deadline, so the few that send in before the first deadline have a higher chance of getting funding. This only applies to MS applicants though, as very few of them get funded. If you're applying for PhD then you only need to worry about the final deadline.

Please how sure are you about university of florida being jan i for MS. Last time I checked, the deadline for application for funding for both MS and PHD is Dec 5. This discouraged me from applying

Scholastica16:
Thank you.

Michigan State Uni~
Iowa State Uni (PhD Jan 1 deadline)~
Uni of Florida (Deadline for PhD was Dec 5, for MSc is Jan 8 )
Texas Tech Uni (Jan 8 )
Uni of New Mexico (Jan 15 Msc)
L.S.U Baton Rouge
Mississipi State Uni
Kansas State Uni

All for fall 2017 (I think all have deadlines in January bu not sure of the exact dates). All Chemical engineering. Funding is important. I think it is criminal for anyone to spend a dime of his own money doing research for a school. So yea, Masters of Science or PhD. If the school want a dime from me, they can take their admission and shove it where the sun don't shine.


~ signifies still unsure. First one are yet to reply any emails. 2nd say they sponsor only PhD.
