MackyNaija:

Took the test and I just got home.

It was a Basic Knowledge Test
I am unhappy I put off writing this test for this long, I would have passed it if I wrote it a month ago.
I performed very well from the much I read, got 26 outta 30. You only need 21 correct answers to pass - I just deh give myself unnecessary anxiety.

It was a normal exam though tricky. Twas a nice experience.
Next week is the driving test, I suppose pass this one as per experienced Nigerian driver.

Documents I used for processing -
1. Passport and Visa
2. I20 and I94.
3. 2 Proof of residence - lease agreement and bank statement (they rejected my electricity bill; it had my address but didn't have my apartment number)
4. $25 fee.

Modified -
The test was to be taken over 480 minutes, I did it in less than 15minutes. It shouldn't take more than 30mins for most people.

Inscrutable:


The faculty doesn't seem to be in a hurry with me to understand but I got to make a good impression at least so it would be easier for some Nigerians in the future to get a position with him.

Please how do I go about this? I need suggestions, anyone, everyone

femi312:
Just to chip in, It used to be the case before but things have changed due to cut in research funds by the US Government. For instance not all Phd students are funded in University of Colorodo at Boulder and many more schools while some wont admit you because they don't allow self funded students.

Hey RexCheeng. how's the application going?

Concerning the error you encountered while trying to upload your GRE/TOEFL score to your application page. Open the pdf copy of the score report from ETS with Adobe Reader. Try using the "Take a snapshot" option under the edit menu in the Adobe Reader to crop the relevant section of your score report, paste this cropped immage on MS word and adjust accordingly. Then convert back to pdf format from the word format and upload your stuff. Make sure you capture the relevant sections while cropping.

I used this method to send just my GRE scores to schools without showing the schools where I had earlier sent my scores...

Lemme know if this works.

Hi guys,


I'm thinking of getting a GRE maths tutor. if there's anyone here who fits the bill, or can make I recommendation, it will be greatly appreciated. please note that I need a personal tutor and not a tuition center because of the flexibility, my budget .

Scholastica16:


Your choice is great and you have a very good profile to go with it. I asked about you and Chemical engineering because of UW-Madison. You know it is a top school for my program as well.

Clemson should be on your list as well. And Central Missouri. I hear they are both very good and well funded for your course. Try Auburn as well if you have the time.

Drocks:
My friend a ladokite sent an unofficial transcript to the school he applied to for Masters in Electrical engineering at Cleveland state university.

Scholastica16:

N8000? It is not a promo and I used it to send some of my score reports to atleast 5 or 6 schools. The rate was better for me because ETS charges $27 to send each score report which is still N8100 at N300/$ and I doubt banks charge that low.

MackyNaija:


In other news,
3 friends just got on-campus jobs today
Glad they did, lesser financial worries + chicken wings money don sure.

temmitats:
I I eventually reported my scores( I actually covered my face, I was really nervous) opened it and saw 158v 158Q , while its 4 marks short of my ideal score, I'm just happy it isn't too bad and I can actually put the GRE behind me and move on to the next thing.
This thread really helped me, I got a lot of materials andI was also motivated by the great scores here. Saying a big thank you to rexcheeng for his encouragement too. I'm sorry if my writing is all over the place, I'm just writing as it comes to mind.

Walspring:
Discounted promo offer for GRE and TOEFL is out again for just 10 people. 10 applicants will pay 50% while some poeple on this thread paying 50% but they don't want me to mention their names.

I will post further info and requirement later and if you are interested send me pm.

God bless the good people behind this. Amen

I want to know if there's any full undergraduate scholarship available for Nigerians

ABOLORUNKING:

I guess that is it from me for this application season.

I have been accepted to the Molecular and Cell Biology PhD program of The University of Texas at Dallas with a Graduate Tuition Scholarship that covers all tuition and fees. In addition, I will receive a very generous stipend through Graduate Teaching Assistantship #TeamFall2017 Yes we can.

I have interest in security of smart grid systems as well as FOG networks in smart grid, I have proposed research ideas to the UofTcurrent group unfortunately they said they could not add more new student lately. So u may have to look somewhere else Like I am now bro

OjaP:


I am in my 3rd year of PhD in Industrial and Systems Engineering at UTK myself. I am researching energy systems and climate. ORNL is so big on this and would suggest you look into energy science too - that's the future. Alternatively, research on data analytics or big data and see yourself working in one of the biggest financial institutions or IT companies upon graduation. You can thank me later.

Go Vols!!

OluDare01:

temi4fash:
Hello,

Please do they do TOEFL on weekends??

I want to write TOEFL. But i dont have time during the week..

Any one please

gensteejay:


I plan to seat for TOEFL around July or August, and will register for GRE around November. After writing these exams, I intend to send an application for admission (with scholarship) to schools in US, UK, Canada, etc.

If I wrote the aforementioned exams at those times in this year, would I be able to meet up with the admission procedures for 2018 fall semester, which starts by September every year in foreign schools?

When do schools in US, UK, Canada start accepting applications from prospective international students for a new session?

By God's Grace, I plan to do my master's program and PhD studies abroad, practise there for some years and return to Nigeria.
