Are you taking the GRE exam? Since your school uses a 4.0 scale then why the after conversion?

soulhighman:

Which school is that pls?

dramaka:

3.81/5.00 cannot be equivalent to 3.86/4.00. You may re-calculate same using the free WES evaluation tool.

emmaroland:
Please, what is your Nigeria cgpa before conversion?

OluDare01:
Those of you that don't wanna write toefl, be warned! I didn't write toefl so getting funding wasn't easy.When I got here, even guys from Bangladesh India Sri Lanka got TA and me that my English is top notch didn't get anything.
The grad school said I'm proficient in English but my dept said no. No be small thing o. My solid background got me funding. I am not taking any prerequisites unlike other incoming students. In short, write toefl. Abeg.
My fellow students said I speak good English You go wan fear sexy voice na

DeeTus:

Your question has already been answered!

LagosismyHome:


You have to check your target school for their requirements , and the fact that this might be yes in one school doesnt mean yes in another school . Also some schools waive or dont require TOEFL some schools its mandatory .......so if you dont want to do TOEFL then its best to target the schools that this is not a requirement

You have a strong GPA for Graduate assistance so definitely take GRE if you dont want to take TOEFL , study very well for it . That will open up your choice for funding

umaryusuf:
No one asked any question so far! Well it means no problem with the classes above.

We have to go through the above process of Data Scraping/Collection and Cleaning due to the nature and location of our dataset. "We have cook our data before we eat it".

In a cases where you have already cooked data, then you won't pass through the collection and cleaning process.

So at this point, each day you run the script, it will extract the day's Nairaland members birthday list and save it in a CSV file. So by the time you run the script for one week, you will have 7 different CSV file containing birthday list for those seven days.

By the time you run it for 1year, you would have enough dataset to make analyses, visualizations and predictions.



In the last class, we will do some basic analyses and visualizations.

To Analyze and Visualize our data, below are some of the questions we are going to answer:-

a) How many members are celebrating their birthdays today?

b) Who is the oldest and youngest member celebrating his/her birthdays today?

c) What is the average age the celebrants?

d) How old will each celebrant be in 10years?

e) How old was each celebrant when NairaLand was established?

Till then, drop your questions or comments/suggestions.

mrjojo:
you sure pay another

DanjaNinja:


What do you need to know?

sirRiddy:
Lol. That sounds like a full-time job you have for me there. How much will you pay me per hour?
On a lighter note, please do not take this kind of mentality beyond here.
There are so many schools in America and I believe you have more than enough
guidance already on how to find the ones that suit you. Asking for a list sounds pretty lazy.
Use usnews.com for a start. If you do not search yourself, you risk making costly mistakes.

Congratulations in advance for your convocation n for a job weldone as an undergraduate. It's good you have started preparing already. M sure u must av observed dis thread offers assistance basically for persons considering graduate studies in US n more importantly to guide persons intending to take d GRE. Studying in Canada from d little I know, u don't need GRE n Test of English (Toefl or IELTS) is exempted in some cases. So if u are able to put up a good SOP and get a professor dat u can work with prior to ur application, den the only thing u might av to worry about is d application fee. The chances are high u will get assistantship with ur profile. Same thing applies 4 US schools too except that now u will av to take both Test of English n GRE (which cost approximately 100k with d present exchange rate), n with a good sop n recommendation letter, it's kindof easy getting funding considering u also intend to apply directly 4 phd, 4low every other thing d great men in dis group av said n m sure u will b rightly guided. I hope dis helps a little

sirRiddy:
Hi neahyo,
Welcome to the thread and to this beautiful journey.
Congratulations on your graduation.
You have an enviable GPA that can get you into top choice PhD programs.
I am aware of the financial challenge that one encounters during this
process, hence you have to be shrewd and prudent in your approach.
Do not apply to a program if you have not done your research exhaustively
on this program. I wasted time and money on Utah State University when I found
out later that they only waive out-of-state and I still had to pay in-state tuition.
This means I wasted time and cash on sending transcripts, test scores, letters.
Use google and usnews to your advantage. SEARCHING FOR SCHOOLS TAKES TIME, A LOT.
Prepare hard for the GRE and get impressive letters from school.
Before you apply, be sure that your prospective schools do not require the
GRE subject test, GRE Mathematics test in your case.
Good luck. Please, post further questions if you have any.

Guy,I'm not yet an authority o..... maybe someone can help us with a good analysis. However, I know some entrepreneurs who are hustlers with good financial results.

engrbrume:


Neahyo I actually enjoy your posts. Your arguements are valid. I do not have any counter arguement this time, because you're sooo right. I'm practising my form of entrepreneurship while working so as to have a plan B. Those motivational speakers who speak against employment were people who started just like me, and ended up building a business that gave them freedom to do what they want. Now escape from bosses in the office and the freedom to travel when you like, work when you like, sleeping and waking when you want to aren't fallacious in any way. There are thousands of Nigerians who live like this. But they still have to work for their money, except that they do not need permission to do what they do, and working hard while in control of their source of money brings joy. There's also the fact that many of them begin to move up the economic scale really fast. Don't you want to drive past Coscharis two or three years from now, knowing that you can afford every car in there? there are many reasons to dream. People that have these things have only one head, and I must join them.

So my brother, these things are possible. But you have to believe first.

Please just watch this video.
