I'm guessing Insead yh? Tbh, your scores aren't so bad. A 304 should get you into some good schools especially since your whole profile will be considered. Luckily, your GPA and work experience would help in this regard. I do hope there's some sort of growth in your job roles over the years. Also, extra curricular activities and volunteering would help boost your profile.

Please also consider some US business schools. Maybe those highly and mid ranked schools. Michigan state, Penn state, Mendoza, Fisher, Questrom, etc. You may be lucky to get a scholarship especially when you apply before the round one deadline.

You can rewrite the GRE if you have the wherewithal, otherwise, I think you can work with what you have.

Dear Nairalanders,

I have a question.
How can someone secure funding in US schools for a professional study while working as a TA/GA?

Let me explain.
I'm interested in professional development and not in deep research.

My target study areas are in Information Systems, Software Engineering and Product Management.


I would like suggestions for safe school and tips on how I can strategize my application.

I already have top schools like Berkley, CMU and UIUC

Professional programs are not funded as TA/RA. You might get some scholarship

Thank you very much for your email of interest in my work and our departmental PhD. I reviewed your materials with interest of my own – you have a wealth of related training and experience! Your work with undernutrition in young children is truly important, needed research.



Unfortunately, I presently have no open positions and am not accepting any doctoral students at this time. I wish you success in your academic endeavors.



Sincerely,

This is the mail I got from my POI, I want to ask if it's ok for me to ask her to recommend another POI for me.

You are a prospective Doctorate student, learn to research and stop waiting to be spoon fed.
If anyone here wanted to help, you didn't tell us your profile so how do we magically know schools that fit you?

What countries are you looking at?
Have you written any standardized test?
Give us your profile in general and we can help in our own little ways.

PS: it makes no sense asking for help without dropping all necessary information that would aid an adviser advice you appropriately.
For people who will pop in here to ask for safe schools, do well to post you GRE/TOEFL scores, GPA, Research experiences if any.
It doesn't hurt to read through the thread from start to finish. Most recurring questions have been treated in the past and you won't need to ask again if only you apply yourself in reading this informative thread.
No hard feelings.

I will wholeheartedly advice you head towards USA due to availability of funds and i personally believe their quality of education is second to none.

Now, you need to know that admission cycle you are aiming at Fall2020, Spring2020 etc. Once that decided, you will need to write GRE and TOEFL (although some schools waive this for Nigerians).
You will need to get you Transcript evaluated by World evaluation service(WES depending if you school accepts official or unofficial transcript at the application period).
Draft out a nice statement of purpose, get at most 3 beautifully crafted letter of recommendation from your previous Lecturers, please avoid at all cost the "he was a very good boy" recommenders. You need people who can attest your too academic and research ability.
Research schools that match your profile, mail the grad coordinator about availability of funding(very important), mail faculty members whose interests aligns with yours, indicate your interest to work with them( please ensure you know their previous research or present research so you can say a thing or two about it). Those profs are busy people and you need to go the extra mile to pique their interest.

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Anfieldboss: 3:41pm On Jun 21, 2019
Hello guys,

I have been a silent follower of this thread for sometime now and I have finally decided to take the GRE, August/September this year as I am looking at Fall 2020.

A friend of mine currently doing his PhD in US, sent me some materials and having gone through the thread I noticed they are the same as it contains Magoosh videos, Manhattan, Barron, Kaplan etc.

I intend preparing for about 2 months, although I know my job will pose some challenge but I hope my resolve would be strong enough to help in my preparations.

Please I will like to take sample tests but I don't know how to go about it? Also which of the materials would you advise one to start preparing with and which materials would be most useful in the Quant and Verbal sections.

I will appreciate your inputs, thanks in anticipation.
