I've been an ardent follower of this thread. I must give it up for danjaninja, sirriddy et al for their altruistic demeanor at solving gre related problems in the thread. Goodwork y'all.

I have strong intentions of registering for gre but I have two discouragements that has made me complacent In making preparations. Firstly, relative to cgpa requirements of most universities, mine is not strong enough (3.05/5.00). Secondly, I have little working experience that is related to what I want to study in my masters.

Is there something I can do about the situation? Pls I am anticipating helpful inputs from you all. Thanks

dicapino:

You haven't made a mistake by accepting the admission bro. Have you tried to discuss with the grad-coordinator when such opportunities would be availble. Typically opportunities for funding are available during Fall. Just try to mail the grad guy wella there may be applicants who may not accept their funding offers.

Also what type of funding are you looking at is it a general scholarship that would just defray tuition or any expenses/ or an Assistanship.

Finally, have you tried to contact Professors who are carrying out research in areas you are interested in, they may be willing to fund.

So my advice contact the grad coor. ask when such opportunities may be available. Also try and contact your profs (SirRiddy has a format for such emails).

Hope you applied to other schools? Yu may also need to pay for 1st semester at least if you don't get funded now.

Start sending mails out.

thank you sir!
Your input was really helpful. I am getting a deferment in order to increase my chances. I applied to just two schools.

I think your best option is to contact the graduate coordinator. I am also in the same shoe like you. I got admitted without funding. I sent mails to faculty doing research but no one has yet to reply my mail. I also sent a mail to the graduate coordinator and he told me point blank "funding is not available, good luck in your search". Those were his direct words so I see myself paying for the first semester. I contacted other Nigerians in the department I got admitted too and I was told that funding is extremely difficult to get in Fall semester for that department if not impossible. I was given the assurance that by Spring semester, I will get either an assistantship or tuition rebate. Assistantship is something you get based on good grades in the previous Fall semester. Even if i don't get from my department, if I network properly, I could get in another department in Spring semester.

As an advice for those preparing for GRE and hoping to apply, start looking out for funding opportunities for your program. Don't assume all schools give funding along with admission. Most external funding deadline is by September to December 1st of the previous year. So if you are looking to get admitted for Fall 2017, then you should be prepared to apply for external scholarship and funding by December this year.

thank you Lamexx!

Good day, please can someone else abroad make payment for gre for me? What's the best way to do this? The current high exchange is against asking the person to send the money so the payment is made here.

If you already have a GRE account, just send your login details to the person, let him/her login and pay for you over there (via PayPal or Visa card). It's quite possible.

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Nobody: 6:45pm On May 17, 2016

Hi guys.
If you planning for fall 2017, please start searching now.
No amount of searching is too much. Use usnews to check for program ranking.
Go to gradcafe and see what past applicants went through while applying and learn from their mistakes.
Go through all the school websites, mail professors, mail grad students, mail grad coordiantors.
Be reasonable with your choices. Spread your risks. Top schools, moderate schools, even 'unranked' schools.
Study hard for the GRE. For engineering guys, anything below 160 in quant is unacceptable.
Do not rush your applications. Make your SOP as good as possible. Send to people to help read
through and edit them. Your resume must convey your skills well. Your linkedin account is very
important. I was shocked when a grad coordinator viewed my linkedin account.
No matter your financial stand, aim for funding. Do not underestimate yourself.
Wish everyone good luck.
