drhopeful:That recommender must be from your UK school, perhaps your MSc supervisor. Can one ever get letters of recommendation from UK lecturers in good time? 1 Like |

This Lecturers can be so selfish at times, a friend recently ask his graduate Supervisor (MS) to do a reference letter for him, deadline was approaching with many calls and text message, somehow this Man refuse to write a reference letter for him. I had to advice him to cancel the request a day to application deadline and look for someone else to do it. He has gotten his admission with or without him, some people think they are God. 6 Likes |

revenant: Hmm...Sometimes, developing a very good rapport makes such request for recommendation easy. However, some lecturers are ever busy and tend to forget. Disappointments from people we think are in the best position to help are just one of those features of life. The bottom line is we should give thanks to God that he got the admission. 2 Likes |

revenant:I had a similar experience. I was interviewed by a potential supervisor at Michigan tech for my PhD in Chemistry. Everything was set, just 3 letters of recommendation and one must come from my undergrad supervisor; she had already done the online evaluation but they needed a letter. The two other lecturers already wrote their letters without informing me but my supervisor started giving me excuses. She told me to write the letter and email her so that she would just put it on the letter head paper. After a month, mama no gree do am o. She said no letterhead, no light, internet and all sorts of excuses. So, I rapidly completed my other 2 MSc applications and got admitted. Mama still no gree do the recommendation till today, lol. It even got to a time she told me to stop calling her again. Here I am, it is exactly a year this thing happened, lol. I was so sad mama fall hand gan. Most Nigerian lecturers think they are god,lol. Although we have few good ones, atleast I still chat with some of them on whatsapp. 6 Likes |

OluDare01: It's the God complex syndrome. I'm an applicant for the Commonwealth shared scholarship scheme. I notified my hod early enough, since September last year precisely. Despite the fact that I personally gave him a prepared reference format, he couldn't provide. He couldn't even give me the paper I gave him. He later promised that he'll send it via email. He later stopped picking my calls, probably because he felt that I was disturbing him. I am still waiting for his reply till this day. 4 Likes |

OluDare01: I think its the way we are conditioned to act in naija. If you are compassionate and understanding and free, you will be regarded as soft, etc. What will even stop him from apologising to me for fucking up? (for where?) Sebi one of the reasons why baba was voted in was because he was perceived as a hard boiled general who didn't listen. The country has a long way to go. @bolded: That would be considered an insult here 4 Likes |

OluDare01:Good day Mr Olu, I have been following this thread for about 8-9 months now. The last advice i got from this thread pertaining to informing my UG project supervisor about my graduate plans has been of enormous help to me. Presently, i do not only work with him as an UG-research assistant but also get invited to some of his MS lectures. My current profile goes thus; Bs : Economics and Statistics cgpa: 4.1/5.0 (after 7 semesters, my final semester just commenced) proposed degree: Phd Experience: UG research assistant proposed Area of specialty: Econometrics, Quantitative Economics GRE: work in progress TOEFL: work in progress proposed schools; UNIVERSITY of Texas, Dallas Binghamton University, NY University of Houston, Texas. I would really love to know if these aforementioned schools suit my profile/field. Also, i would'nt mind if you or any other person could as well help recommend some schools too. Thanks. 2 Likes |

Scholastica16, thank you again for that mail guide. I got a positive mail from the school. I will be expecting to hear from them in the coming weeks. At least, the reply is better than an outright, " we can't fund you!". Keeping my fingers crossed. Happy 3 Likes |

ChiomaL0ngLEGZ: Naah. You missed the point. Creating that whatsApp group to address funding opportunities etc. will take people away from NL which is essentially why this thread was created. You can use your whatsApp to contact those in LSU so that you all can meet up, but when you want to discuss gaining admission and funding into LSU or schools in US in general then here is where you need to make such posts and address such enquiries. So please, your experience is still invaluable to us. Cheers. 3 Likes |

ChiomaL0ngLEGZ:I find it very difficult to understand, in fact inscrutable, why you cannot give these information to everyone on the thread. Everyone wants to hear about how to get funding. From your post, you need people's phone number and email. At first, it was for LSU. Then you encompassed the whole south of USA. Now, you have lived in Germany for 22 years. And also have information for studying in UK and Germany. Please madam, drop the hidden agenda attitude,prove me wrong and give us all the information pertaining to USA on this thread. You can always do the German and UK advert on their respective thread. Please do not derail our dear thread. FYI: No one really does well with criticism, we all deal with it. Please deal with it.
