Education / Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Quoran: 10:22am On Mar 01, 2018 |
How do you guys see/access this school,Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute ? Seen alot about the school on Quora (Rankings and all) though I don't like the name of the school lol. I only applied because of the fee application waiver. I have been admitted but no funding ,at least for now. Scholastica16 |

Yes I will advise you mix your applications. Some for MS,some for PhD. I assume you're targeting Spring and Fall 2019, so you have time to do extensive research on the schools you want to apply to.Mail alot of Professors and from their responses, you will be able to conclude on the nature of funding available in their schools.I wish you all the best in your GRE.Cheers.

Okay, just contact the graduate admissions office and explain everything to them. I also think you need to act fast because I know the deadline in order to be considered for funding has passed. tizentos: |

I think you should apply. It is worth the risk. The fact that he even stated that your research interest aligns with his is a good sign. tizentos: 1 Like |

I have not heard from TAMU despite seeing a couple of admission decisions on gradcafe. I submitted my application before the December 20th deadline. tizentos: 1 Like |

Congrats bro.For the Skype interview, check the Professor's recent research papers and his lab's website. He won't ask anything extremely technical. Just check out methods and research tools he has used to conduct research. He will mostly likely be asking you questions to see if you are a conversant with all you will need to work with him. You should be fine. Cheers. tizentos: 2 Likes |
Politics / Re: Should President Buhari Embrace The Mandela Option? by Quoran: 1:30pm On Feb 26, 2018 |
It is wrong to put Buhari and Mandela in the same sentence. Mandela is everything that Buhari is not. Buhari won't leave on his own. He will prefer to be disgraced out. 10 Likes 1 Share |

That's not correct. You need to have unrestricted right to work even if you're from a commonwealth country. You should already be a permanent resident or at least be on long term visa (I.e. Spouse visa) dayjeee: |

PMB should stop lamenting. Corruption has been more instutionalised during his tenure. I'm not an advocate for GEJ, but he did fight corruption in institutions though individuals looted Nigeria dry. Under PMB, both are taking place on a monumental scale. He should stop complaining and go to work. 23 Likes 3 Shares |

They just wanted to know my research interests and experience. They basically went through my CV and they asked questions on it. They also want to know your future plans, what you aim to achieve from your research. If it is a studentship, the questions will be more specific as it relates to the specific project. Nothing deep as such, just to make sure you're an ideal candidate.The aim of most of these interviews is to find if you're a good fit for their research group/lab/work. I hope this helps you. All the best. calculator123: 5 Likes 1 Share |

I still don't understand the rationale behind dropping numbers and forming whatsapp groups. The aim of the thread is defeated. Information is best shared here so that everyone can benefit. If you're too busy to visit nairaland to check for any information, then you really do not need that information. If you go through previous threads on PTDF,you can have a glimpse of what happened and all. This thread shouldn't be any different. 12 Likes |

Most of the schools I applied to have not gotten back to me. Most of them had January 15th deadline. I am also guessing that my applications were too close to the deadline. For instance, I applied to Texas A &M , College Station before December 20th. I have seen some decisions from TAMU for PhD Mechanical Engineering on gradcafe. Same with RPI.Most of them applied really early. I am still hopeful though. I applied to 8 schools. I could have applied to more. Some People on gradcafe applied to as many as 15. Lol.

I won't call them interviews really. More like informal chats with Professors on Skype. For the ones I applied to recently, no one has scheduled any interview with me yet though I have seen a couple of admission decisions from two of the schools on gradcafe. MasterforceII: |
Education / Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Quoran: 6:56pm On Feb 11, 2018 |
I thought all applications are reviewed at once especially for schools with a deadline ? I'm seeing on Gradcafe a lot of admission decisions from some of the schools I applied to. Though it appears some of them applied before me. |

Education / Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Quoran: 8:53pm On Feb 09, 2018 |
Thank you Time2Smile. Lol @ Nigerian Prince. I agree with you. Most of their current students I contacted via LinkedIn are funded and they didn't go through much stress in getting GRA and GTA positions. Well, we will keep trying. Time2Smile: |
Education / Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Quoran: 1:24pm On Feb 09, 2018 |
Dear ******* *******: Congratulations! I am pleased to notify you of your acceptance into the Mechanical Eng-Eng Mechanics PHD program for Fall 2018. Classes begin on 04-SEP-2018. Please be advised that funding is not available from the department as a GTA. GRA decisions are made by individual faculty members but none have expressed a need for GRAs at this time. See FAQ http://www.mtu.edu/mechanical/graduate/advising/faqs/#faq48340 Research and teaching assistantships are awarded by your department and questions regarding this form of aid should be directed to them. Since no financial assistance has been offered to you at this time, you must submit evidence that you possess the appropriate amount of funds to finance your own educational program for one academic year. For more information, please refer to our cost of education page (http://www.mtu.edu/gradschool/financial/cost/). Please upload a completed Certification of Finances Form and bank statement(s) through your MyMichiganTech as soon as possible. We will finalize your admission and issue your I-20 or DS-2019 following receipt of the requested financial information (http://www.mtu.edu/gradschool/documents/policies-procedures/forms/certification-of-finances.pdf). Resources to assist you prior to your arrival on campus can be found both in the Enrollment Checklist on your personalized MyMichiganTech (https://www.mymichigantech.mtu.edu). Notify our office as soon as possible if you have had any changes in your mailing address or proposed term of admission. We look forward to welcoming you to the Michigan Tech Graduate School and wish you continued success in your academic career. Sincerely, Jacque Smith Director of Graduate Enrollment Services Student ID: ******** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just got this from Michigan Tech. I am not understanding. Do this guys think paying for a PhD is a joke? They must really be a stingy school. lol. I actually prefer the style of not granting admission because of lack of funds. I saw an advert from one of their Professors with an available studentship position. I am calling him as soon as it 8-9 am in Michigan. lol 2 Likes |

Scholastica16 If a Professor says he will apply for a fellowship on your behalf, what does he mean? |
Education / Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Quoran: 5:50am On Feb 09, 2018 |
I have been admitted to the University of Alabama for a PhD in Mechanical Engineering. Funding decisions will come up later. The Graduate school coordinator said I can also contact Professors for funding support. Two have already offered to apply for Fellowship on my behalf. I hope it turns out fine. #Fall2018 15 Likes |

True, you really know these things. I would not have applied if not for the free application form. Scholastica16: |
Education / Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Quoran: 6:02pm On Feb 08, 2018 |
lol @ Stingy. I reckon that is because they receive so many applications since their application fee has been waived. I recently applied for their Mechanical Engineering PhD program. I have contacted most of their professors. The keep lamenting about lack of personal research funds to fund me. Departmental assitantship is competitive as usual. I am hoping for the best though.

Education / Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Quoran: 5:24pm On Feb 08, 2018 |
Congrats. Contact your department ASAP. Do not fret about the financial requirements for now. Asking you to submit them ASAP is normal talk that comes with admission offers. Contact your department and individual professors. Hopefully, something positive will surface. You will be surprised that some Professors have already started making plans for students they will like to work with thereby looking for funds for them. athorello: |
