In light of maximum information sharing...these schools waived application fees for me

Last year, most schools waived application fees for fall 2021 and Spring 2022. I just hope it will be the same fall 2022.

Some of the schools I can remember are

1. Western Illinois University
2. Marquette University
3. Clarkston University
4. University of Arkansas at little rock
5. University of Texas, Rio Grande Valley
6. Rensselaer Polytechnic institute
7. University of Rochester.
8. Michigan Technological University
9. University of Delaware.
10. Northeastern University
11. Steven's Institute of Technology

Good afternoon everyone, I just joined the thread although I've been reading and I want to commend the efforts of everyone on this thread, you're doing an amazing job.
Please I need assistance and that why I'm here. Here's my profile, I have a BSc(Ed) in Animal production with a GPA of 4.3/5, I also have a diploma in Forestry technology with a GPA of 2.8/4. I have my degree transcript but I don't have for my diploma. I'd like to further my education (Msc) abroad, my first choice country is Canada but seems expensive hence I opted for USA hoping I would be able to afford it and get good opportunities as a student there.
Here is where I need help
1. I want to switch to environmental science/agricultural extension/agric sustainability. Do I stand a chance and how do I gain admission?
2. Due to financial constraints, I'd love experienced persons to mentor me on how to secure scholarships and app waiver please
3. Is there any hope for an agric student in America.
4. How much money do I need as proof of funds please.
N.B: My dad is my sponsor, I'm single and I'm 25yrs, I'm currently working in retail company and I don't earn much

read the previous pages, 20pages backwards you will find details about your questions

Concerning your course, nobody can tell you if you stand a chance or how yu can gain an admission. Its a process, if ithe course will be useful for you then you have no problem, just do your research, use google,look for those in your field. present your case well at the visa interview

Nice

papijulah:
Thank you. Does the admission require getting 3 references?

No just two references. That was what I submitted. I forgot to ask, I was asked for my gmat and duolingo test result for University of Houston which I did but for Texas A&M, just my gmat was requested.

Good Morning,Please is there anyone from FutMinna ,That has done WES before?

I wish everyone having their interview this morning the best of luck

xsanctus:
Hello guys,

I'm planning on applying for PhD in Spring 2022, and would appreciate your tips in having a competitive application considering the fact that have low GPA's.

BEng Chemical Engineering 3.26/5.00 (WES unofficial 3.07/4.00)
MEng Chemical Engineering 4.02/5.00 (WES Unofficial 3.47/4.00)

2 publications currently in Press.

Please what can I do to improve my chances in landing a PhD placement?

you will look for schools that offer your courses, afterwards you will try to match up with their requirements and also look for schools that fit your profile
