He should use his official e-mail address for credibility purposes. If he doesn't have, he should use his regular e-mail (Gmail, Yahoo etc)though it won't carry much attention like the official one. I think most of the lecturers like those in UNN have official emails. Official emails are best for recommendation letters. They will definitely carry more weight. Gospelozy: 2 Likes |

Even with 335 (170 in Quant), One Indian on Gradcafe was lamenting that he didn't get in. Those schools are very competitive. Ubah1: 2 Likes |

I don't think you are having a tough time because you're switching fields. For a PhD, if you're not a good fit for their research, schools won't offer you admission. If you're going for Internal combustion engines, Computational Fluid Dynamics, biofuels etc, you have to look for schools who have faculty members doing you chosen research area. PhD admission is all about 'best fit'. If you're not a good fit for the department , you will struggle and most departments and faculty members want to avoid these. Please, retake the GRE and improve your Quant score. There's a possibility that some of the departments you applied to probably didn't even look at your application.Though the GRE is just one of the application materials, most schools nowadays use it to filter applicants. Though you have to do most of the research yourself, if you specify your research area and Interest, I can help you with a list of schools. Also, when searching, do not search in broad terms. Check individual faculty members pages. Cheers. presiade: 1 Like |

Personally, I don't think memorising loads of words help so much. With an average understanding of words structure and understanding the question structure itself, you can score many good points. Look at Magoosh frequently used or appearing words.They help alot. I remember seeing the word 'hodgepodge' on my second GRE. I first learned it from Magoosh Android app. Your understanding of the comprehension passage will definitely increase if you have much time to read the passages and answer the questions. Unfortunately, on the test day, you don't have that luxury. However, with some techniques , you can score well in that section. If you have been a reader of quality literature, you can nail those questions without much stress. I personally focused on getting most of my sentence equivalent and text completion questions right. With the techniques I learned from Manhattan, I scored well in that area. I deduced that from the official test diagnostics. Also, do alot of practice test. Kaplan have improved their online tests. They are really close to the actually test questions. The practice test questions are free online. You can do a timed test, set a test on only areas of your weakness or strength also. It is really good and helpful. Matinoh: 3 Likes |

Well, people decide whether to share their transcript or not. So, if that is your basis for judgement, it may not paint the true picture.Besides,I think it is still early in the visa application season. orimahspence: 1 Like |

I'm glad someone finally addresses it. If those who started this thread resulted to forming whatsapp groups, we wouldn't have had anything to fall back to. Honestly, I'm yet to see the benefit of having a whatsaapp group. Most times, some people use such groups to brag and show their abilities. You gain little or nothing. Later in the day, I will write some tips and tricks that will aid anyone who desires to score above 160 on the Quant. Time2Smile: 4 Likes |

Thanks. In my case, the system allowed me to proceed without uploading a photo. They simply said I should come along with a passport photo during the interview. I can't edit it again.If I had known, I would have tried to work on the picture before proceeding. The part of the e-mail in the appointment confirmation which talked about uploading a photo before coming for the interview really scarced me. learner007: 1 Like |

Hello LagosNIV. Please, if one's passport photograph does not show on the Confirmation page, will that be a problem? The system did reject my passport and simply asked me to come with a new passport photograph alongside my confirmation email for my interview. I am asking this because a part of the appointment confirmation stated this: "Effective immediately,visa applicants who do not upload their photos when submitting their DS-160 application will be turned away and advised to complete their application by uploading a proper photo. This will usually require the rescheduling of their appointment. The process for uploading photos is easy and is thoroughly explained in our on-line application. Avoid disappointment and delay-upload your photo as part of your visa application!" |

Your profile is good. Congrats on your GRE scores. With your GPA and your GRE scores, you have a variety of options;as many as you can think of. Which schools did you send your scores to? I'm guessing you're going for Fall/Spring 2019? If so, you have time to research and check alot of schools. If you're going for a masters degree program, you can apply to schools that offer funding in that regard. George Washington, Stevens , New York University,Tandon etc have fellowships for master's degree programs. If you're going for a PhD, your options are more. Just check out departments that do sufficient research in your area. Also rememeber that you area of interest involves multidisciplinary work, which is a plus, as you can do your research within many departments. Also you can check publications within your area of interest. Then you can contact the authors or check their department for more details. Just put in some work and you will have a variety of options at the end. Cheers. iamlucky: 3 Likes |
