neurosci:
Those who are familiar with grad school applications, in regards to the three letters of recommendation requirement, I'm wondering if these three letters must be academic letters from instructors who taught the student at college, or can the student have a letter from a high school official too or a personal letter from anyone? Can you also have letters from an employer? It's asking for three letters of rec, but doesn't specify the types of people who should write them.

Most often than not, it is strongly advised that your three referees are Lecturers that either knows you or have taught you before in your previous program.

However, there is no harm in having a reference-mix when your school did not mandate the otherwise. In this case, you can go with an employer or superior at work place and two references from academics.

Any of the above cases will suffice as it wasn't outrightly specified.

Thanks so much!!

Anybodie:


Most schools specify who can write for you.
Some will accept letters from both academic letters and former employer while some will only accept academic letters. So confirm from the school's website

Thanks. The reason I asked here is because the school does not specify on the website. I also emailed the grad coordinator and department, but no answer.

If you just graduated from a University without any work experience then your references might mostly be academic. Also considering that your references are expected to be people that can attest to your academic and/or professional prowess.

But if you have some professional experience then you can go with 2 professional and 1 academic.

Goodluck!

Goodday nairalanders , I'm new here ,I joined because of the amazing content I see here regularly . Please i really want to know ,I wrote my waec last year and this is how the result looks like
Mathematics B2
English C4
Further mathematics B2
Physics B3
Chemistry B3
Biology C4
Civic education B3
Economics B3
Data processing C5
I was planning to take the SAT this year but due to the pandemic I'm not sure if that would be achievable , next year though I believe it'll be possible .
For now , I'm still focusing on my preparations for the exam ( in terms of reading) because I'm really hoping to score a very high score to get a full ride as I can't afford the education there .It has been my dream for years to study in the US for years and I believe getting a full ride scholarship there is achievable if I work hard .
What I just wrote is just a brief description of my goals , I'm sorry I'm not precise enough ,I wanted to fully express myself since I'm new here.
Also , I'm 16 years old and I want to pursue an undergraduate degree,My high school gpa is an 'A' average result as I was a straight 'A' student( just in case this question ever comes up)
Please I'll be asking a lot of questions , I'll also love to get polite replies .
My first question is do you think I can get a full ride with a high SAT score and these results or I'll need to prep for another WAEC . Please I really need answers

I think before you prepare for any WAEC take the SAT...... I think the SAT will be the first step to determine the probability of getting a full ride.

Prepare for it with all you have and best of luck

Thank you very much Justwise for doing justice to the nauseating irrelevant conversation of those twaddling humans(slimmy2005 and afonjaboston) trying to derail the thread.

The slimmy2005 boy does not make any significant contribution to the thread only to come and stir up controversies.
Old man always behaving like an adolescent.

Okay ..Thank you for your reply !

Bye Fall '20.
Hello Spring '21.

Good Day Everyone,

I was introduced to this thread a week ago and I took my time to go through some of the pages and got some information on schools with funding for PhD program in management..I have messaged about three of the schools for fall 2021
Alabama
Auburn and
Fisk and their response were similar
They redirected me to their application page and asked I applied before February...

Here is my confusion..I used to think for PhD, you look for availability of supervisor and space before applying...

Please, I will be thankful if I can be clarified on the processes as these Graduate officers are confusing me with their response..

I am open to suggestions on schools with funding and high acceptability for PhD management programs

Please I need all the information I can get..
Help a sister please....

To all the contributors on these threads...you guys are amazing!
