Shout out to other guys in Fall, 2011/Spring 2012 like Imperioux, Biikeys, Funsho, Oghene and apologies to those I can't recall their names right now.

Quoran:
Hello Guys. I guess everyone has settled in ? For those still trying to getting admission and funding, don't give up. Those of us who have benefited from here will do our best in helping others too.

By the way,I did change my school to Stanford. Remember the guy I was always mailing at Stanford? He was able to get funding for me as one of his prospective students left for Cambridge in the UK. So I'm super elated and glad. Though I wasted some money processing stuff to go to TAMU, I'm optimistic going to Stanford is worth it.

Hi all.

I'm a #FALL19 applicant. Just wanted to know if there's any WhatsApp group that I can join. I think the biggest challenge with taking the GRE is the fact that it requires serious self-study; self-discipline and accountability. It would be nice to have a group where we can all encourage one another and the spirit of discipline can rub off on all of us!

Scholastica16:
Long time my good man. I have been doing summer job to earn a little. Barely have time for anything else based on timezone. What is the latest? I prayed for you.

Scholastica16:
No matter the schools you are looking at, try to reach out to faculty in the department especially those with matching research interests. Funding for Masters is a hard sell but not impossible....

md17:
Good evening e-fam. Please I need urgent response to a Q. My GRE is coming up in Sept. and I'm narrowing down schools to apply to. My proposed course is MS Biotechnology, and I've spoken to a few grad coord (especially because of my low GPA of 2.8/4). I’m one of the no funding, no going set of people.

ponpon, justwise, lagosismyhome, sirriddy, aanexplus, quoran, RexCheeng, mfarad, drhopeful, Time2Smile, jaybiz007, et al.....

reDazey:
5. Are you aware that people further their studies for different reasons other than the limited reasons you gave above? The world is full of opportunities and everyone's path is different.
6. Are you aware that going to a top school does not guarantee a job offer after school?


My point: The flavor of your post was haughty. Hence, my response to you. Do not use your personal preferences to judge other people. They are not you. Learn to understand individual differences.

Quoran:
VO: Your visa has been approved. Read this and do what's right to avoid been denied entry to the USA. Have a nice day.

My Visa was approved today at Abuja Embassy.

I want to swerve alittle bit from petroleum engineering into any subdiscipline of ICT.
Please I need serious advice( pertaining the course drifting) & recommendations on schools with low tuition in The Us, Canada, Germany and UK. schools with funding and Graduate assistantship is also welcome.. I don't intend coming back to Nigeria. Thanks alot

Scholastica16:
I dey man. How far unto that level?

Scholastica16:
A lot of people on that thread just want to immigrate. If they were that serious about getting into the US legitimately, most will be here trying to get information needed to ace the needed tests to get funding.

gokuu:
...and I think we have a winner on that GRE story.

Scholastica16:
Sirriddy getting all the love.

Don't talk to me again.

reDazey:
So this year, I reapplied to 5 Ph.D. programs
1. The University of Massachusetts, Amherst (pending)
2. The University of Utah (rejected)
3. Kansas State University(accepted with full funding)
4. The University of Alabama (accepted, no funding. I did not bother to ask for any.)
5. College of William and Mary(accepted with full funding, being considered for fellowship)

Also, to "avoid stories that touch", I applied to Georgia Southern (MSc Mathematics and I was accepted with a funded GTA position)

I thank God for the courage to try one more time and I pray that everyone finds a reason to believe in themselves and keep pushing.

Special thanks to the extraordinary persons that supported me throughout this journey; Sirriddy(you are just too much), divabiola, jaybiz007, Scholastica16, MsNas, dramaka). Thank you guys for being more than friends.

Advice and recommendations are highly appreciated!

shakaz:
Now my question: To calculate ones GPA on a 4 point scale emphasis is usually placed on the last 60 hrs. What about we in Engineering that our IT is usually 2nd semester in 400l which obviously fall within the last 60hrs, are we going to include it in our GPA calculation?

Also please I need links to full length practice test aside Power prep 2.

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

Has anyone received recommendation mail or confirmation from Industrial and Production Engineering?
