@gunther6, I believe the main reason why it is challenging for such profiles to get funding is most likely going all the way to a phd with your undergraduate. You might have fantastic test scores but I don't believe that is the main stuff they look at. I think there is a step by step process to everything. Even the Americans rarely take such swing to phD and even if they do, that person must be smart, and also remember you are an international student and they don't totally trust what you come with. Here you see many Indians who got above a 100 in TOEFL, and they can't even make a complete sentence so how did they get high scores in speaking? So those schools are top schools and you have people who have had masters degree gunning for same spot as you, so it's challenging. I don't know if this helps. Thanks, just keep hope high!

Thanks bro...funding is critical cos without it most Nigerians won't even consider studying in the U.S. but it seems to me that most people that didn't have enough funds survived one way or the other somehow though it was difficult. This gives a lotta people hope that one way or the other dem go make am in "the ame"

thank u. next stop appointment booking.

bartino:
Sorry I didn't reply you on time. The department of electrical is pretty sound and I think they have some research works going on that's quite extensive. They work hand in hand with the computer science department so a little of both will help you a lot. Do you have a masters degree already? If you don't it's not bad but I hope you get admitted with a sound undergraduate. I inquired about the program it's really good and well funded at this point. Regarding fundings, you will be fine. If you have an undergraduate in EE and you already mailing some professors even if they don't respond timely, funding is like 95% guaranteed and there are other avenues to be a GTA as well. Thanks,I am available if you have other questions you feel I can answer. Best wishes for a great day.

Like I ask people that decide to go for it, what's your motivation for a Doctorate in EE? funding? jobs?
