Those are really good schools to match your profile (and a good profile at that). I don't have anything else to add tbh; you've done well and good luck. Keep us posted

Good Day House,

I have followed this page from 1st post, to have an in-depth info about schools and funding opportunities.

I humbly present my profile for school suggestions and any tip to secure funding for fall '19.
I have actually completed applications to PhD Chemistry in the schools mentioned below. Hoping to apply to any more recommended schools on here.

*My little advice to anyone preparing for the Gre and Toefl is to ensure you start well ahead of admission deadlines.. Take the exams early enough so you can have enough time to prepare all application materials.

Undergrad: 3.45/4 (Unofficial WES evaluation)- Industrial Chemistry
GRE: 312 (VERY terrible exam experience)
TOEFL: 103
Publications: 1 (Currently under review with two journals)
Research Experience : About 2 years working in the Oil and Gas
Conferences: A handful
Schools applied: VCU, FSU, MSU, LSU, Univ of Utah, Tulane Univ and University of Alabama.

Contacts have been made with some POIs in about five of these schools...Mostly positive and was asked to apply.

What is your take house ....CC @Scholastica16, @Time2Smile, @kayceerilyn, @Sheeda995, @Ndawe, @Temmitats

Good morning all

I've some questions concerning subject (mathematics) based test and I'll really appreciate if anyone can explain the process

1. When registering for GRE, is the subject test registration different from the main one?

2. If yes, what's the total cost?

3. I'm aware that GRE is tasking. Considering the subject based test, will the test be in a day?

I'll also appreciate any other response/opinions/views etc not captured in the questions above

Good day thankyouJesus,

GRE subject mathematics is totally different from GRE subject test. It is more peculiar for applicants having eyes on specialised programs like PhD Mathematics, PhD Statistics and some mathematical intensed programs like Quant Finance, Maths Finance, Operations Research et cetera.


Having said this, most programs don't mandate this specialise exam for their prospective applicants, they carefully specify this on their websites, although a good score can be an added advantage if their is any deficient in one's college grades. An exception is the la creme de la creme universities owning to degree that their admission exercises are extremely competitive.

The overarching view of admission procedures depend solely on one's profile as overly stated by the gurus here.

So, will there be need for you to have the test score? Such onus lies on you.

Is it hard? Ofcourse YES! Only you can answer to what degree it is. I also presume you had a degree in Mathematics.

The fee is around $150 last I checked.

Enjoy! Moreover, take this with just a pinch of salt as this is coming from someone that might give the test a shot in due time.

If you actually have access to recent (2018/2019) materials, then you may choose not to go.

Since It's free, I would suggest you go collect what is rightfully yours, even if you want to dash it out. I personally would rather reading a physical text to reading on a screen, so it would not hurt having something I can read when my battery is low or when I need something tangible to hold and read.

Not only should you get the books, if you can, attend lectures as well. That's also free and trust me, the lectures are great because you get to be tutored on tricks and tips you won't find on the pages of any book.

I'm talking from experience cos I passed through Mafit.

Thanks a bunch for this reply Ndawe. How is your program going as well?
Wish everyone on here success in their current program and current applications.

For those taking GRE soon, ensure you keep practicing. This will afford you the space to exploit your strengths and discover areas needed for improvement.
On exam Day, try to be as calm and collected as possible, alot of us complain about having the capacity to do better based on our preparation, I feel one way to deliver high performance which may translate to a better result is to be calm and composed on exam day.......*STAY FOCUSED*

Thanks all.

Good day all,

Please I have a little info on how to contact prof.

I use google scholar site and search for the research area of my interest. I check on the profile of people conducting research in the area. Usually on their google scholar profile page there will be a list of research interests. If you click on any one it will take you to a page with list of people with similar research interest and their number of citation. That way you can then see all of people from different school and countries with similar interest as yours.

Thanks

Search for their names on researchgate.net
