essayHelp: Hello essayHelp, with a 168 verbal and 160 quantitative and vying for an MSc or PhD in EE, which schools have you obtained admissions with? Also, funding value too if received? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by dramaka(m): 4:28pm On Mar 27, 2016 |
essayHelp: Please, he should make funding top priority. There's nothing appealing about the ubiquitous acceptances or admits nowadays. Besides, there are over 5000 schools in the U.S. You're right about ASU, it's actually very unlikely. I'm wondering how you got this vast knowledge on US Schools and their prospects for issuing funding. |

Hello guys! It's been awhile... I hail the veterans who keep coming back each day to provide people with details on this forum. I just wonder how the likes of imperiouxx, slimmy2005, godG, Gboyega et al are able to do this consistently. I hope to be like them too... Congrats to those who are resuming in fall and I wish all other hopefuls the very best. Happy Easter from UIUC. 3 Likes |

slimmy2005:If someone performs very well in academics in the first semester how possible will it be to get funding for the rest of the program. |

OK I miscalculated the tuition for UCM. thought it was 28k. yeah its quite affordable. I used IERF evaluation so I felt no need to use WES. You are right about the references & acceptance rate! Good school!. But you think nigerians/africans go dey the school? dramaka: |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by worry359(m): 8:45pm On Mar 27, 2016 |
KELVIN086: People here can not give answers to things like that, they do not have the information. Even schools will not promise It will all depend on results and available funds. things on funding. If you do not have a source for funding without gaining a scholarship. It would not be good to get thrown out after the first semester. That would be a waste of money. |

OK clearly a lot of people need information about this funding thing. Funding for grad school usually comes in form doing something for the program teaching, research, misc. In exchange for a tuition waiver or tuition waiver and stipend which varies depending on availability. The first thing anyone looking for these has to keep in mind is that, NOTHING IS GUARANTEED . It is not your right to be funded. I've seen so many uptight posts talking about how wonderful their profile was and they were not funded. Full Funding is not a right and it's not as common as you think. A few of us have been fortunate to get good deals but it's still what it is, a very lucky few. Also, funding DEPENDS ON AVAILABILITY . I know someone who got funding, came here and his department got broke and he's back in naija now looking for jobs. He was funded for a year and then his department told him they can't afford him anymore. It's not a guarantee even if you get it in year one. We're international students. The only reason we're getting assistantships in the first place is because a lot of Americans don't apply to grad school and these programs have to run and do research. That costs money and it is not guaranteed that you'll get funding throughout your stay in grad school.. Also, you need to be smart to even get talking about funding. You can't present sub par gre, toefl, GPA and talk about funding. Would you invest in a sub par candidate if you wanted to recruit for your company? Geography matters! If you want to follow people that want to live in California. You can, but be wise. You are from Nigeria, our economy is bad. Go to a cheap state with a low profile, go to school, get your degree and figure out the next step. Looking for schools in expensive places makes the search for funding all the more difficult. Choose your field wisely, IT, health and pharma are the big areas in the US. You need to be in stem field to get a better chance of even jobs. It's not just about school. The arts and social sciences are not hot. You may have to change fields. Even pure sciences like physics, chemistry have dour career prospects when compared to computer science, engineering, pharmaceuticals, nursing, medicine. Choosing your field wisely will help a lot. Once again, I have to reiterate that nothing is guaranteed. Pray to God for favor and do your best in your standardized test. Consult others for help with SOPs, rec letters etc. CHOOSE YOUR SCHOOLS WISELY Hopefully this post helps someone. 11 Likes |
