Fayetteville. Apply for Msc If you don’t meet up with their PhD requirements

My profile meets up with their PhD requirements.
Which one do I stand a better chance to get funding MSc or PhD?

General school ranking
Anyway, that’s not the appropriate ranking to use for graduate school application. Based on what you said, the school I will be attending isn’t ranked among top 100 for general school rankings. However, it’s ranked top 100 in rankings by department(For industrial). Also in the past, my department requirement for direct PhD was 3.70 but it is 3.50 now.

@Twoods, I was expecting you to bring something like this up. lol. Fraudulent contracts? grin there you go again assuming and troubling your mind with what other people do for a living. Damn bro, you need help! You are bitter towards motherland, the citizenry that's just sad. I'll bet your pathetic self can't stand to look yourself in the mirror for a minute and not wish you were someone else. Nigeria where there are young budding entrepreneurs doing really amazing things, breaking grounds, beating odds and making the country proud. Nigeria where we have resilient youths who are continuously striving to achieve dreams. I don't know what part of Nigeria you come from but know this, while you cower and cover your face in shame and don't want to associate with the Name Nigeria. There are Nigerians proudly representing the country, who while the country hasn't done so much for them proudly fly the country's name all over the world, that's my Nigeria! that's MOTHERLAND. My fellow Nigerians, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. This will be my last response to you on this subject, on this thread, you are not worth another response. Best wishes!

Of course, we’ve lied too much to force restrictions on obtaining a visa... go right ahead with your attitude. Seems to be working just fine for you
Sure...working for me. Yours seem to be working fine for you too, so I will say the same

And do you know how many of our predecessors have ruined things up for us right now??

Going to the embassy with fake SOA and the likes?

I really don't understand your point.

We are in a time far different where desperation needs to be put in check to keep the sanity of the system for the good of our future.

Anyone denied that needs help have to drop their transcript that's how it was done.

When you refer people to go back and read the thread from beginning. What will all these Gbas Gbo benefit them.
Sure there are old questions that should be set straight for DIY. But no need bashing someone when they are down just to prove a point. U grab

Yeah I get that but alot has 3.0 as bench mark. It depends on program too. Like university of Kentucky has 2.80 on 4.0 scale for civil engineering program

PhD are usually given priority in most if not all schools.

Location doesn't matter, be it Lagos consulate or abuja consulate.... What matter is grace. Prepare well and be honest.






Thanks, but that's not the reason I'm asking and I know location plays little or no role in your visa interview.

okay I guess 10 isn’t fair, mention 4 then. I have a list of about 90+ schools (both ranked and unranked) that offer industrial engineering at graduate level.


University of Memphis accepts as low as 2.5/4 for PhD.

Necessary not for industrial engineering.

High School GPA and Test Scores. New freshman applicants should have a high school grade point average of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale, and an ACT score of 20 or higher, or the SAT equivalent

TheZed:
For direct PhD from Bsc, most schools require 3.5 gpa. Check out University of Arkansas requirements, make sure you apply there if you meet up with everything. Also check out University of Tennessee Knoxville.
Also either industry engineering or industrial and systems engineering, it’s the same thing. Some schools use it interchangeably.

I did say funding is very rare for engineering.
PhD and MSC alike


It is very very competitive

Not really that rare, just competitive. Most schools fund all admitted PhD students for engineering programs
