Education / Re: Thread For PHD Students by platypelloid: 8:27pm On Apr 06, 2018
Professor Sir,thank you for the detail insight.
But prof,i guess my research area matches that of the professor Chair,which eventually interests him to send me an email to apply.
Sir,even if my first rejection is due to academic performance,i think the professor should have seen it in the first place??
Also by your mathematics above Sir,it means my chances of being admitted is less than 0.001??
Professor,pls enlighten me further.
Thanks.
wip7:


Out of 100 percent, your chances of being admitted is 1-99%. There is no way anybody here can know your chances since admission and funding do have criteria and if you meet those then you will be admitted. Kindly wait for the university and you can also apply to another universities as you are waiting.

Meanwhile, majority of rejection letter do carry reasons for rejection. If the reason for your rejection is based on funding and the new department said they have funding then there some chances. But if your rejection is based on not meeting the entry academic requirements, then even they have funding you will still be rejected. All applicants need to first satisfy minimum admission requirement, graduate institute requirements and departmental requirements.

Best wishes!

Respect Elders.
I was declined of a PhD admission in USA about six weeks ago.

Two Weeks ago, a professor Chair from THESAME UNIVERSITY but different faculty e mailed me to apply for a PhD in his department,that he is waiving my application fee.that I should just fill the attached form.
Few hours later I saw that the prof has linked my file to the application and complete the application for me.
He told me that the faculty has fund but he didn't say specifically if I would be funded.
Please house what is my chance of being admitted?
Out of 100percent,what is my chance??

I have not heard back from the same university About the admission decision.
Please house kindly advise me.
Thanks.

Why are you so paranoid?
BY MAFIT registered him for a date different from what they both agreed without being consented., eventually registered with another examination body in Lagos.
The commotions that you always caused in the gre forum has brought you here again!
To your own detriment and bad belle,I GOT ADMITTED INTO THE UNIVERSITY I APPLIED TO WITH MY 282 GRE Score AND one WEEK PREPARATION.
YOUR absurd mentality has failed you here Mr man.
Scholastica16:


No need Frostsc.

He used BY MAFIT to register but he registered late and asked for a date that had filled up. I believe they gave him a date a week or 2 ahead but he came here to whine and tell people never to register with them again. I told him to use the extra time to prepare well because I knew Mr man was going to miss-kick the penalty to the throw-in line. Of course, he did not listen and miss-kick he did.

Scholastica or what did you call yourself?
You must be daft for this rude and unmannered comment.
Why is it that you keep on being belligerent and fight all and sundry on this forum.
It appears your brain is little as that a fish.a shoulder high and good for nothing brat.i think I'm ready for you today.
If they born you well reply.
Scholastica16:


You need to understand that talk is cheap because the supply for it outweighs the demand.

That is why I laugh hard when I see ignoramuses hyperventilate. I know they are trying to use words to make up for the intelligence that nature did not grant them.

There was some other guy who was questioning my intelligence on this same thread when I recommended caution in the way he was blowing hot air. Few weeks later, Mr Man came here to post 278 GRE.

One trait of an intelligent person is caution. They know that the right answers or decisions are seldomly in the extremes. Even the standardized tests tell you: if the answer is too easily got, you are probably being trapped. If the solution is taking so long a time, you are taking a wrong step. There is always moderation in wisdom.

The OP who hastily generalized about HBS, realized his mistake and kept mum. He will re-evaluate what he believes and add to his knowledge. But trust a fool to use every opportunity to advertise his folly.

That guy is a packaged pseudo-Intellectual that is garmented in folly and delusion. It is not zeal, he is a misdirected dingbat. See how people who are in USA (some working and earning, others on full govt scholarships down to a return flight) are envying a rat that does not even know GRE or GMAT words.

Hello
You need to search for a school first
Then look for their requirements for international students on their website.
Try public universities.
Private are usually costly.
Write GRE AND IELTS OR TOEFL whichever the requirements of the university.
Feel free to ask questions when need be.
lekanlaniyan:

There is paucity of F2 visa interview online so I thought to post wife and two kids visa transcript approved today at the Abuja US embassy, to help people intending to go for F2 visa interview. Note that the principal (F1 holder)(me) was not present in this interview. I have seen some people wondering and worrying if the F1 holder should be present in the interview.

Interview was for 9am, 27th March 2018.

Vo: Why are you going to the US?
Wife: I am going to the US to visit my husband.

Vo: Who pays for your husband’s fees?
Wife: My husband is on scholarship (Well, actually it is assistantship. I imagine that the Vo will understand)

Vo: You applied for vacation (B1/B2) before, why did you not say that your husband lives in the US?
Wife: My husband was still in Nigeria when I interviewed for that. I interviewed on 3rd August 2017.

Vo: When did your husband travel?
Wife: 14th August 2017

Vo: How long did you intend to stay?
Wife: 4 yrs

Vo: Provide your marriage cert and kids birth cert?
We had a Divine intervention on this question. Among all the things I discussed with my wife during the preparation leading up to this interview, we never mentioned or discussed kids birth certificate. I have never ever seen it being requested on the few F2 visa interview I found online and trust me I really searched. The night before the interview, my wife heard a voice that told her to get the two kids' birth certificate and immunization documents and put it in her bag. She ignored this voice and the next morning, they were all dressed up, ready, and leaving the house for the interview when she heard the voice again! She went back to the house, took the birth certificates and immunization records and left for the interview. And here you have the Vo asking for those documents! Excuse me if you are an atheist but God does speak to and help those who believe in Him. Praise God!
Wife: Tendered the marriage cert, kids birth cert and immunization docs.

Vo: Congratulations....on and on...

To HIM be all the glory!

I tap into the grace of God upon your life.
I will share testimony like yours before the next 4 months to come!
What happens to you was exactly how I pass my MB part 1 back in the medical school.only by the way of supernatural voice.IT CAN ONLY BE GOD!!!

It's a good sign. For him to reach out personally to you, it shows that they need students in that department and they are willing to offer you funding to motivate you to join the program. Your chances are at least 90%. Goodluck.
