Hello Guys,
My profile is as follows...
Bsc (urban and regional planning) 3.02/4 (Wes unofficial),
MSc (environmental pollution control) 3.17/4 (Wes unofficial),
GRE Q 151, V 157,
Toefl S=29, R=29, L=27, W=25 (110),
3 years work experience in the Federal service.
I am looking to do a PhD in Environmental Policy, I want to veer a little bit from the core sciences into the social sciences.
Unfortunately, a large portion of schools only offer the course at the masters level.
I will keep searching, I really hope I can get in for fall 2020. Getting the PhD has been a life long dream for me, but with the careful guidance of the wonderful people on this platform, I know the dream can become a reality.
God bless you all...

It is often advisable to contact a research supervisor while applying for a postgraduate program. However, this could be hard for someone with little or no idea about how to go about this process.
As a passionate individual with the interest of others in mind, I have decided to put up this post in order to guide someone who is reading right now, that might consider this to be beneficial. (I will try to be brief with this guide, considering I need to get back to something as fast as possible.)

STEP ONE

READ ABOUT THE PROFESSOR OR SUPERVISOR’S RESEARCH: This is one of the first and most important things to do before contacting your potential supervisor. Doing this will help you to familiarize yourself with his or her research and prove you are really interested; have knowledge or idea about the research program content.

STEP TWO

CONTACT HIM
Bravo! You have made it this far! You are about to take the bold step. The first thing to do at this point is to get his contact, preferably, his or her email, then compose a meaningful and exceptional letter, informing him or her of your interest in his research. (Remember, you need to really communicate politely and type-in good vocabulary.)
There are some few details to include, which I will outline below:
1) Make use of a brief and detailed subject.
2) Make use of the appropriate and correct title of the supervisor.
3) Concise information about yourself and experience. (It should include your past projects, internship, attended seminars, thesis, etc.)
4) Main body. (This is where you need to brief him or her about your interest and prove how well you are interested in his or her research, including how familiar you are with it and your inquiry or probability of getting any form of financial aid.)
5) Conclusion. (At this point you can indirectly sell yourself and mention how suitable or important you are to accomplish the purpose of the research, then you end your letter; by stating how delighted you will be to receive his or her acknowledgement.)

I do hope this piece effectively guide you on what you need to compose a well-written email letter to that proposed Supervisor of yours.

So I was thinking, for those of us having our exams soon (mine is next month) , I'll be creating a whatsapp group where we can all share ideas and relate possible tough questions which I'm sure it'll help us prepare better, I had a friend who testified to the goodness of such idea. If you're in kindly reply this message with your contact and I'll add you up asap.

I have a magoosh premium account to share with anyone that is interested.

I wrote my GRE today.. Twas not as I expected. As a first time taker, I thought it was just some baby exam. I start prep August, so my prep was just approximately 2 months.

Some bad luck started following me from 6am today when I woke up, I stood straight to stretch, not knowing the fan was not really far up, I ended up cutting my right hand finger nails into two, blood everywhere. This happened because it's not my house, I didn't know the fan was low. I went to a near by chemist to treat my self. This weakened my confidence as I could nearly hold a pen. (don't stretch if u aren't familiar with the room on the day of ur test ..)
Anyways I got to the centre in abuja 8:40am, the whole check in process was carried out and we started.
I have long Bern praying for 3 quants but after the incident I pray for 3 verbal( which I wasn't good at).
I wrote the test with the pain. Typing wasn't easy. But I know I did well in the AWA, my topics were sweet, straight forward, already worked on similar topics from the ETS pool of essays. I should write about 700 words for each, could have written more if I could be faster.

The first verbal was difficult, then I hard I tough quants, then break, another equally tough verbal, now I knew the first should be the experimental as I didn't really do well. The next quants was lot tougher than most practice test I have taken. What surprise me was that my last verbal was equally tough as the previous ones, I assumed I did well in the previous verbal, probably that's
Why I got another difficult one. Little did I know that I was joking with myself, all fantasy.

I will be having a rewrite by early December, by then I should have solved the mystery of verbal.
And please I will appreciate tips on verbal because I employed all that I knew during the test.

I clicked reports score and there was my 55k staring at me on the screen..
If u register GRE for a cheap price and u are genuine, please send me ur contact.

I beg coming test takers, forget the learning of big words, the GRE dosent have big words like that, its straight forward.. Learn few words, the common ones, forget advance words and Co.. U can use magoosh flashcard for.. My problem in verbal from practice yes has always been RCs which I sometime get 3 or 4 of 10, but TC and SE are good.

Stick to one material, the most important of all is the ETS materials, all the questions that fly around are not GRE like, some are extremely tougher without clues but GRE TC and SE gives u enough clues, just learn to find it in RCs too, that's my own issue for now..

For quants, ETS is also still the best.. Then u can use magoosh or Manhattan.
Princeton practice test is a very close predictor of your real score.

Hello and good evening. Am a little bit confused now and so I need help from anyone who has gone through such similar experience. I registered for GRE with B.y mafits ( truly reputable) wrote the exam Oct 5 and reported my scores to my chosen schools and at first could access and see my score but after going back to see if they sent my scores to my prospective schools here comes this message you have an outstanding debt of $240 with the same order number registered for the test and as suchcould not access my score report option to know if the schools have seen or not. Please what should I do contact them or BY mafits. Please the gurus in the house help a brother, as my deadline are close by

I think you should confirm from GRE why there's an outstanding debt. If this is challenge comes from BY Mafit, then you can lay your complaint to them. This mustn't be funny!

MIYATI:
Please is there anyone with a candid opinion about GRE registration. I have paid for about 2 weeks now, 45k and still yet to be registered. I hope GRE registration of 45k is not scam. Cos I keep getting info from the guys that ETS upgraded their site and that registration is not going for now.

Sherlock5577:
Haba, I believe you're good to go! Kudos on your scores! You do well! Applications must have begun for many schools. Please secure a potential supervisor with funding and apply early!

Yes y'all can #Fall '20
