You should be fine. That's all they want from you.

electromagnito:
all this arguement about Phd makes me laugh, even in europe you need to get a potential supervisor for the school to reason you,[s] reason why some schools do phd for 5years is because the mentioned student couldnt get a Potential supervisor[/s] as such you will use 2years to do some course work which is still like masters, but it is always advisable to talk to some professor from the interested department or else yout application dey God hand... best

This is not true.

@bold, you shouldn't make a generic statement when you're not sure. This is not true for most of the programs here. You have to go through the advisor selection process after resumption. Infact, some schools/programs give up to two semesters for lab rotation and exploration before you can choose a PI.

Emory

That’s a lot of money. Living in Atlanta is expensive, so cost of living will add up.

Enireqx20:
So I just gotta my admission letter and I got partial scholarship of 10k per year. I have a deficit of about 35k for Fall 2020 .

Do I need an SOA for my Visa interview and the school is offering loan options, is that a safe path to thread?

Brandeis university?

ma'am, I'm good. I hope you're good too. I see you're still very much active on this thread. keep up the good work.

There’s a lot of ignorant people here.
When all you watch is BB naija and other useless shows. Educate yourself, you won’t.
Ordinary primary school social studies, you don’t know. Smh
A simple google search would have saved a lot of you from this public display of ignorance.

There’s nothing like best graduating in grad school. Just say he had the best thesis/dissertation.

Nice. I'd encourage you to not shy away from top schools. I'm a PhD student of analytical chemistry. Feel free to contact me if you need any help.

some schools will ask you to submit a bank statement showing the cost of attendance for a year even when you have excess funding.

Kendrix69:
But how can they be expecting you to bring that, that's almost 18k dollars for a year, shey na penthause u wan dey stay ni, for one person?.......if dey didn't now give u GA, dey will now expect you to bring 15m?.. To me they are just being wicked...simple

Since you’ve not resumed, you don’t have a sevis record yet. What you have is a sevis fee valid for a year. If you plan on going to another school within a year, you don’t have to pay another sevis fee. You will go to the sevis website and transfer your sevis fee payment to your new sevis number. Go to fmjfee.com, then to I-901 status, enter your current sevis ID and details and click request transfer, then enter your new sevis ID and that’s it.

Kingsman01:


Bro thank you for your guidance.
My SEVIS ID was generated from a School I no longer want to go for. How do I place this request because asking for a SEVIS transfer from them clearly means I am no longer interested in the school.

Your sevis ID is valid as long as you remain in status. Yes, it can be transferred to another school. Talk to your international student advisor. For most schools, you need a transfer request form from your new school to be completed by you and your international student advisor, then you initiate the transfer of your sevis record to your new school before you can request for a new I-20 from your new school.

Kingsman01:
Hello good people of NL,

Please what’s the validity of SEVIS ID and can it be transferred for use by another school?

Also, is there any particular interactive GRE thread like this thread?.

Thanks.

You for just ignore and pass...
I just correct person wey dey deceive himself and others here... No need to quote me
Thanks

You need to learn how to talk to people on a public forum. I was going to just ignore you but you need a timely reminder if anyone hasn’t called you to order. Does my post sound rude or off point to you? This is a faceless forum. There’s no need to put up this kind of attitude at all. This world is a very small place. I hope you grow up pretty soon.

This thread has really come a long way. Oga justwise, I hail you o. As we enter the Fall 2019 interview cycle, I wish you guys all the best.

I find it hard to believe this story. Op, you’re very stingy.

bracelum:


No dey deceive yourself and others here
Schools get levels

Schools get levels and I agree with you, but not everyone has the right profile to enter top schools. What if he decides to go to a small school for his master's and then apply to a top school for a PhD? We all have different paths in life and the last time I checked, what gets you a job is what you know and the skills you have, not your school’s ranking.
I know a lot of people that went to ‘small schools’ that work for top reputable companies like Intel, IBM, Dow, Apple, Eli Lilly, Amgen, to mention but a few.
Ofcourse you have more opportunities in terms of funding, research facilities and personnel when you attend a top school. If you can’t get into those schools, attending a small school isn’t a bad idea.

Don’t retake the GRE. Try your luck with Tennessee tech, Missouri state university, Mississippi state university, Northern Illinois University.

Picricchem:
Good evening house. I need a candid advice.

My profile is:

GPA = 3.28/5.0

GRE: V.R = 155; Q.R = 149 AW = 3.0

Undergraduate Course Chemistry

Intended Major (Masters) : Chemistry or Material science.

I aimed UVM Chemistry initially, to meet up with their deadline, I wrote the GRE when I knew I wasn't fully prepare (5 weeks of preparation), unfortunately for me, I was not selected. Though they didn't complain about my scores, but I know that my Q.R is not good enough.

I'm planning to retake the GRE by May. Is it advisable for me to use my present scores to seek admission in schools where GRE scores are not ordinarily required e.g Illinois state University? Or should I wait till I retake the exam before I apply to any school I want to apply to. I'm targeting Spring 2020 admission and I want to spread my tentacles as wide as possible.

Kindly advise me. Your contribution will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hassanolek:


Las las, I reported my score and I saw QR(160), VR(152). I was crestfallen because I never had it that low in any of my mocks. From the official score sent to me today the analytical is 3.5.

Immediately I saw the score at the centre, I just told myself "guy, life goes on" and I sent my scores to
Iowa state University
University of South Florida
Florida State University
University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa.

You’ve got a great profile. What’s your research interest and experience?

electricpole:
I didn't do GRE

You should go take the GRE. You have a good CGPA.

electricpole:
read where they said they keep rolling in admits as application comes in.
3.23/4 industrial chemistry

They started rolling out admits since November, so you're probably late.
What's your GRE score? It is late to apply for Fall 2019 but you can check out Tennessee tech.

You applied late.
Their fall deadline was February 1st.
What’s your profile? I can suggest schools you can apply to.

electricpole:
I just applied in late march though.
dunno how long or fast they admit.
no I didn't.

electricpole:
who applied to MTU, waiting for admit....
how long does it take?

If you’ve not heard back from MTU by this time, you’ve probably been waitlisted.
Their chemistry program is so small and they’re stingy with funding as you know. Did you apply to other schools?

TheZed:
You are correct sir. That was why I asked her to call the program grad cord for more clarification when she mentioned chemistry.

you're right.

TheZed:
They don’t fund masters students until when they report to school.

Not true for all programs. I think they don't give full funding if I am right.

I hail you ma
