sirRiddy: Thanks SirRiddy. Your input from the onset has been invaluable and it's imperative I continue being proactive (as you would say). The process of mailing grad coordinators and even faculty members has been enervating so far. Evasive grad cords and extremely busy faculty members. However, we can only keep at it and hope it ends well eventually. All the best. #Selah |

Time2Smile: Many schools I plan to apply to stated their requirement for the speaking section as 26, so I guess I'm insufficient in that area. Your #YesWeCan. Also expecting the best from your side as regards your application. #Selah |

iCool: @1. They didn't give funding initially but they gave me as well as every other applicants in my department an option to indicate if I wanted assistantship when I was applying. @2. From what I know, they give funding in terms of tuition waiver and monthly stipends (GA). So that's what I'm requesting. In fact, I'm just waiting for the positive mail from the grad cord coz I have so much faith that I'll get it. P.S: No sell ur kidney oo. You go need am for Trumpland |

Thanks in no particular order to: Tescoman90, Andradaeze, jaybiz007, seeker88, towbaynah, sirRiddy, Drhopeful, OGreene, iPledge01, Cephas009, Hirschfelder, Time2Smile, Topiipii. I saw the mentions but I knew I was going to be busy all through then till now. The most painful aspect about a rejection apart from the (application fee and every other expenses incurred) is the fact that you may never know why. I guess my only consolation is that I couldn't attend all the schools at the same time had I gotten all admits in each of the schools. I remain optimistic about my other chances. #TeamFall2017 9 Likes |

Hello All, I wrote my IELTS test late last year. I need help on how to forward official copies of my result to schools in US; I checked British Council website but nothing seems to talk about this. Urgent response pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee. Cheers #Team2017Fall |

Scholastica16:As much as no one wants to experience rejection wrt applications, it doesn't define the end bro. This particular rejection only helped you prune your choices. All things work together for good. I believe you'll get accepted by other schools you applied to. In fact, that acceptance mail is coming very soon. Cheer up bro. |

Scholastica16:just saw it now, bro it's just one of the decisions, and If you are still applying. Trying and ask the grad coord if the dept prefers a straight PhD or Ms first. I almost applied to LSU PhD until I asked and the grad coord told me that faculty prefers a Ms first and that I should mail to see if anyone was ready to accept me. Even though on the site you could apply to PhD straight. I just used my number 6. Even the Ms admit sef, no funding yet. 5 Likes |

strictlynaija: For IELTS, u can send ur scores to 5 schools for free during about 1month after u write the test but anything after that u will pay 2k5 to apply 4 ur result to be sent any courier charges for sending to the desired destination. U can go to their office if u r in lagos for further clarification. Thanks |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Nobody: 12:33pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
ponpon:You're correct bro. I asked grad coordinator same question and most of them encouraged me to apply for a straight PhD only if I've got a faculty member who has agreed to be be adviser. But I guess is a case of different strokes for different schools. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Scholastica16: 1:49pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
ponpon: Thanks man. You know, I considered almost everything you have said. But the Grad coordinator told me Master's is self-funded and that I should apply directly for the PhD. I asked her if I needed to email any Professor to act as an adviser and she said no but that I should mention his name in my SOP and that it would be relayed to him. In the course of my research I noticed CuteMorgan got into their Chemistry doctorate program directly and I didn't hear him talk about emailing any Professors so I felt I was in order. His admit and funding emails trooped in back to back as well so I believed they didn't sell me a false word. He did graduate with a 4.55/5 and I didn't however. I guess they would give a couple Chincos with 169-Q 145-V 2.5-AWA the admit. Nothing spoil. Finally na just 1 admit pesin need sef. Getting all admits is just for self-aggrandizement. See the highlighted part? I dread it more than Jamaican hair especially as the dollar is expected to rise to 650N before the year runs out. 2 Likes |

fredoricko: Depends on the schools though but I get your point. A friend of mine in 2015 emailed Professors in Vanderbilt, VirginiaTech, Carnegie Mellon, UIUC, MTU and TTU. At the end of the day, only the latter 2 gave him admits with TTU offering him funding after much begging. To get free money from USA no easy as we think. |

To all master in the house, I salute. Please I need your assistance. I need someone to help me review my SOP before submission. The dealine for application is fast approaching and I will appreciate any time you give me on this. Thanks and God bless abundantly. Cc drhopeful,sirRiddy, seeker88, scholastica16, icool and others that have the time to help. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by hirschfelder: 2:48pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
Scholastica16: Lol. Not so shocking though, considering that some programs use GRE mainly to screen applications. Thereafter, research experience and research fit as highlighted in your SOP carries more weight (as I've been told). I hope other schools consider our applications favorably. Yes.

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by iCool(m): 4:18pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
hirschfelder: This held me back from applying to some schools, aside my GRE score which isn't 170/170-Q. I believe other parts of my application were competitive enough for most Msc programs. But how them wan know say you deh try for other aspects, if your app cannot get in through the door because of GRE requirement? |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Scholastica16: 4:35pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
hirschfelder: Wow. So you are a fellow corrosive? Need I say more? Your GRE was a stunner. I know your first degree was PRESSID-worthy. Our lack of research experience is the only issue in Nigeria. We do close to no research. Anyways, I have no doubt that you would get into a top school fully-funded. I think your 'rejection' was designed by God to console me. |

Rejection from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute... I knew their acceptance rate is so small........Application fee waiver was the only reason I gave it a trial. Life goes on........we await more acceptance and funding.... #TeamFall2017# |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by seeker88(m): 5:26pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
Scholastica16: @bolded, that's right! However, your GRE scores are higher than his, so it should suffice, even if your CGPA isn't up to 4.55/5.00..... I am still wondering why they rejected your application... Well like you said, one can't really be sure of what they look for. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Nobody: 5:47pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
How will someone edit the email sent to him by a professor just to impress or show off to other people? Why are some people with so little self esteem? Please be careful with what people portray themselves to be on here and other whatsapp groups outside here. This is incredible Too many frauds here aswear |
