ofspain: This is a decent profile and you should get in somewhere decent. Although I don't know too much about chem engr, I would suggest you 1) get letters where the professors literary say that your examining taking skills have near zero correlation with your research ability, and that you're a research beast - the best they've seen in 20 years. Yes. And then they should go ahead and give plenty examples. This is how we write letters if we want to really help a student that we feel would do well in research down the road 2) apply to many 'safeties' and only a few ambitious places. It's better to be safe. 3) let me reiterate the importance of letters again. Letters that are written to help you. I could have given you a sample of what I have written for students, but I sadly can't do that. But I'm sure your professors know how to write tight letters when they want to actually help a student. Again, all the focus must be how your research capabilities put you in the top 0.1%  of students they have known in 30 years. Letters work wonders, especially if it's written by someone who does good research and publishes good stuff, not crap in some pantokrata journals.4) I hear publications can help too, so if you have at least a neatly executed publication in a peer-reviewed, non-predatory journal, that should score you some points above students with stronger gpa/test scores. I also hear engineering schools welcome potential PhD students to contact their faculty, though some other programs frown badly against this. You should take advantage of that if it's allowed in your chem engr field. Just make sure you present yourself well and send many messages to those "safeties" and then to some of the more ambitious places you're looking at. I wish you all the best with your plan. Your prof in naija can really help you a lot if they can write impeccable letters for you. And such letters take up to 1 week to write and fine tune and rewrite and fine tune again, until it sounds fluid and wonderful. When I write for students to top, top, top schools, I write 6-page letters of 'scatter pieces', crazily outstanding paragraphs and supported with examples that will help the students to compete favorably with some of the best applicants in the world. So, your recommenders can make or mar you. All the best, omo oba 10 Likes 4 Shares |

Hello, house! I appreciate the wonderful work you all are doing. Just a quick one, I would like to know if I can prepare for the GREs solely with Magoosh's subscription. I fear having all the books mentioned here might be counterproductive for me. One more thing, if you have at least a 2-month validity on your Magoosh's account, kindly reach out to me. I would like to buy it at a fair price. |

TJ0987: What type of research are you doing? What are your ideas? You should research your ideas and the type of research you want to do, have them clear in your mind, and try to discuss them to the best of your ability. Nobody expects you to know all the literature and research in your field as you're just starting out. However, you do need to demonstrate that you have done your home and have some understanding of what you're talking about. All the best 4 Likes 1 Share |

I would suggest you start by grounding your self with basics. With a score like the one you posted, it simply means you haven't really understand much of the concept that the GRE is trying to test. Personally, I will suggest you get Manhattan 1-6 to fully understand the quant section. You can also augment your preparation with the Officait Guide by GRE. Additionally, you can watch few Magoosh videos in case you are having trouble with some of the topics. All these materials can be found online. For Verbal on the other hand, you need to memorise GRE vocabularies, try "Barron's 333 most frequent GRE words. This can also be complemented with Magoosh 1000 words, if you have the time. Kaplan seems to be a good material for RC. While Barron has a well defined strategies for SE and TC. In addition, GRE verbal guide will also help. Lastly, you need a lot of practice. Given the recent debrief by test takers, the quant section is becoming more hard and advanced. God bless Prodigy01: 2 Likes |

It depends on the school you plan to apply to. Some schools ask for WES and some schools dont. Soleye24: |

Hello king, Is this material enough to study and prepare adequately for the exam or are there other ones I should get? MOgunleye: |

Boss, I can assure you that if you can finish the materials in that folder (videos, pdf books and Powerprep app) there is nothing stopping you from getting 340/340. The materials are more than adequate for the exam. For verbal, kindly focus on the ETS official materials first, then read other materials. If you finish all the materials in the folder, then you can look for some GMAT questions just to keep yourself sharper than two edged sword. Also try some online free test to familiarize yourself with the computer based testing. CrunchPrep, Manhattan, Kaplan and Princeton review all offer at least 1 free online test. Just google anyone of them and add free practice test. Oluwaloseyi006: 1 Like |

Hello, In a situation where the schools do not require( or request for) it, if I go ahead to do it, would it give me an edge, seeing that my gpa would cross the 3.00/4 line when I do it? Also, please who has done WES recently and how much did it cost in naira (based on the recent dollar rate)? Is there any means of paying less for the service? Thank you all for making this place a treasure trove of knowledge. MOgunleye: |

From my little understanding of the process, if the school doesn't require WES, it usually means that they have their own personal method of evaluating the CGPA that may or may not be same as that of WES. You could do it to save them the stress of using their own method. I don't know if it will give one any edge. TJ0987: |
