Please how do I calculate the total credit hour I earned from Nigeria university?
If there's anybody that studied Engineering, you can give me your total credit hour for sample.




Thanks

That's the total number of Units you did in school. Check your student profile

Jumbojnr:

Thanks a lot sir, can I dm you ?

yes

Jumbojnr:

Plz how do I go about the gregmath plan? I saw the mangoosh plan through the app, I want to compare it with the gregmath and know which one is better abeg

Modified: I just did a little search online and saw https://www.gregmat.com/, I hope I'm on the right page sir?

yes sir

I'm currently in search of schools and sending mails to some of them requesting for an application waiver. What should I include in the mail to improve my chances of receiving the waived fee.

Timotte:


Apply with the 304 score. Your GRE isn't the only thing that is assessed on your application. You have a good GPA. What you need is to get very strong recommendation letters (not the typical ones written by most lecturers). The recommendation letters should be personal and give examples of attributes that are stated in the letter. I can send you a sample of a strong engineering recommendation letter if you need one. Additional, have a well written personal statement that clearly outlines your research interest(s). If you have any publication, it can further strengthen your application. But if you don't have any, it wouldn't harm you either. I have a friend who had a WES evaluated GPA of 3.11 and a GRE score of 294 who got admitted to the chemical engineering masters program at the University of North Dakota with full tuition waiver and a graduate research assistantship for Spring 2022 (he got his visa yesterday). He had very strong recommendation letters and a well written personal statement that strengthened his application.

Please can I mail you for the letter of recommendation sample ?

Hi guys, I’m taking my TOEFL tomorrow. Can I use the 10 mins break between the listening and speaking to prepare templates on my scratch sheet

Okotope7:
Hi Guys, for those in the US on student VISA, are there consequences for doing delivery jobs on apps like doordash, Waitr, GrubHub, etc? Thank you.

You should probably ask someone more authorized.

NigPatriot:


Yes you show stronger tie to the US than your home country, but this is surmountable. But try as much as possible to put your best foot out first - prove to the VO your genuiness as a student. This can be demonstrated by getting Graduate assistantship / merit scholarships that covers majority or all of your school expenses, getting admission from a top ranked university, pursuing a research based course that has relevance both in your home and foreign country. Etc.

And in your application try to focus very little if not at all on your relatives in the US.

Fall applications have begun for most schools, and priority funding from most schools have December/January 15th as deadline. you may also note that most VOs have a negative bias towards Community colleges. So you might want to consider that too.

I am in a very similar situation and very passionate about schooling in the USA

I just completed my gre and got a score of 318. My GPA is 4.17/5.

How feasible is getting a fully funded admission in computer science from an R1 institution ? I believe that’s good enough to prove my intentions to the V.O

Festher183:

Please did you get extra lesson? And from who?

No I didn’t get extra lessons. But you can take mangoosh or Gregmath plan.

I would have used their plans if I heard about it earlier.

How is a score of 318 for computer science/software engineering ?

Is there a resource where one can find solid points and examples to the pool of essays ?

I’m surprised as to why this was not approved.

How can I master this RC section in two weeks ?

I’ve used all the materials in this life. From manhattan to mangoosh to Greg math, to Kaplan. I’m still failing to grasp it.

I’ve discovered that understand the passage makes it easier. When I understand the passage, the answers become clear and I rarely fall for the traps.

Any tips on how to understand this and crack that section.

Has anyone done the GRE test at home rather than at a test center? How was the experience and is there any disadvantage.

I’m planning on doing the test December ending but unfortunately there’s no available seat in Lagos.

Good day everyone, I’m currently in the phase of searching for schools but the method I’m currently using might not be the best approach.
I’m using usnews and google to filter through schools that offer software engineering or computer science but it’s quite tedious and might not be efficient. I could be spending that time preparing for GRE and TOEFL.

Can anyone offer a better approach on how to streamline my search better?

JubrinElSudan:
Please, I need link on the registration for GRE.

Hello, how did you go about this?

Does anyone have a link to these books

Thomsyne:


Honestly, those official guides don't do much anymore. The complaints are all over Reddit in fact. I covered the OG, Big Book and I can confidently say those guides aren't a representation of how technical the real test is. I took the test a couple of hours ago and it was honestly a bloodbath.
He'll be better off practicing Magoosh hard quants. For the verbal, familiarize yourself with tough comprehension passages 'cos you'll by no luck get any easy passage.

My 2cents.

Do you have a link to magoosh hard quants

Please who has practice questions for gre verbal especially reading comprehension.
I’ve exhausted the one from 1024 gre questions, Kaplan and Manhattan

This GRE don humble me
Reading comprehension has made me realize I don’t know how to read

I checked online for available dates to write the gre test in lagos. I can't find any info about jan 2022.
Can I take my test in jan 2022?

Good day everyone, is it too late to start preparing for summer 2022 or fall 2022
I just finished my Bsc and yet to start preparing for GRe or any other exams

Ok

Amazingoreofe:
Please can you help with lost of schools in US that accept lower grades- third class with high GRE 337

Wawu

ukemnseg:


Gregmat was really helpful for Verbal. Also tried to study and memorize some GRE word lists I found online. [Full Disclosure - I took the SAT earlier in my life so I have some experience with these sorts of questions].
Didn't really study for Quant. Just did the practice test the night before. I'm an Engineering graduate so the Quant section was relatively easy for me.

Wrote the actual GRE on Friday.
Unofficial scores were 165 - Verbal and 168 - Quant.
The key thing to note, I think, is that the questions on my actual GRE were significantly more difficult than the questions on the practice test I took (which was also from ETS, by the way).

Taking the GRE was a bit of an emergency for me as I realized pretty late that I would need it for a scholarship I wanted to apply for. I could only spare 16 hours from work to prepare (essentially taking two days off - the day before the test and the actual test day). Definitely wouldn't recommend this for anyone else.

My advice:
Prepare better than you think you need to. Don't get comfortable because you're getting your desired score on the practice test(s). It's possible for your actual test to be a lot more difficult. In my case, I was really going for 335+ and it seems I fell short by 2 points.

Please can you send the list of the words you memorized or a link to it

Information such as GRE score, funding, scholarships, grants, initial school fee, coa are important in our transcript. These are things that aid the VO to either approve or deny your application.

There’s a difference between leaving out your personal information and leaving out vital information that can help others.

I might not know about a school when I’m doing my research but while reading through a transcript here, the school could catch my eye and I get to research about it. That’s another way to help others.

Let’s endeavor to provide more information in our transcript please
