Hi everybody,
Please, for those who are currently applying for PhD, did you have to email one of the faculty members whose research interests aligned with yours to facilitate your admission process. I applied for 3 PhD positions since September and this were open positions for Fall intake. However, I just felt like doing a follow up with graduate departments and one of the response I received seemed to suggest they are "ONLY" accepting those candidates whose "would be" mentors has approved for their applications to move to the next stage.
If anybody can throw more light to this, it would be much appreciated.

Best Regards

What's the essence of going then if the f2s can't work, to further burden the PhD student on stipends?

Hello all. Matured advice needed.
I live in uk. I have msc and bsc.
I want to go to usa through either school or employment.
Lot of people say it is difficult to go to usa from uk thru employment that my best option is sch.

I dont have much to pay for another mba or msc.
Can i opt for college (polytechnic or vocational institutions) since those are more cheaper? I wont mention that i have msc.

My fear now is wont they say since i have bsc why am i going for a lower academic trajectory. That why go for poly wen i can do msc?
However, my excuse will be to tell them that i want an hands on deck academic experience with hardcore teachings which poly offers over uni.

So what do u guys think?

Which one is 'honourable'? Is it the one that EFCC collected Jeep that a married man bought for her or another one, because I don't get.

AwkaFinest:


They started hyping that dude hours before the show started. We all thought he will be wow on the show, but mmmmhhhh......

For me I'm disappointed at his display on the show so far. Still searching for that wow factor about him. Even Bella with all the rudeness adds more value to the show than Bri.

I'm not a hater, just stating the fact!
