chaiks: Your undergrad cgpa is good enough for many tier1 and midtier schools. Your standardized test result will further aid your ambition. A direct PhD depends more on your research experience, publications and conferences. As regards schools, you have not provided me with enough details to help; your department and the likes, even if you do, the bulk of the work is on you. Go through this thread https://www.nairaland.com/3586207/general-u.s.a-student-visa-enquiries-part and read assiduously, you will find similar profiles and the school they applied to. You can also visit Thegradcafe.com, search for your course and you'll find many profiles too. The grad School hustle depends on how proactive one can be. Just do the needful. Best regards. 1 Like |

lola234: Congratulations on your admission. In addition to what temmitarts suggested, you can lookup the FAQ on the recreational sport office webpage, there should be a couple of helpful answers there. Another efficacious approach is to search for graduate assistants in the field on LinkedIn and try to relate with them, they will give you an insight on how they were interviewed and what their job entails, this will enable you do the needful. If you don't mind me asking, what was your profile like? And which school(s) did you apply to? |

theSpark: I believe you're on track. Three months of assiduous prep should suffice. Apart from making a list of schools, it might help to contact the graduate coordinator of each institution, hinting them about your interest in their program and gleaning as much info as you can, especially as regards scholarships and assistantship ( if you need it). The knot in your tummy is expected. They will loosen with rigorous reading and taking of relevant practice tests. All the best. 1 Like |

RexCheeng:I did a little digging and realized one stupidsid on facebook did something like this already and it has really taken off. The spreadsheet has details of over 500 applicants, their school, profile, and other pertinent information. I learnt that posting the link on here might incur the wrath of the mods but it can be accessed on facebook, a very famous MSinUS group. Cheers. |

LagosismyHome: I get your point ma. Certainly, it would be unwise to draw conclusions based on a single profile. However, as more people catch up on the idea, it becomes a 'thing'. I can infer more accurately when I see a couple of profiles applying to a particular school and the trend that ensues. Besides, the point isn't to view the profile and become complacent. Its more like a starting point to give folks an idea of where to start from. |

happyday: Sites like yocket and msinus use an algorithm based on previous profiles and admits to help suggest schools for intending applicants. Thegradcafe works in a similar fashion; where people post their profile and their admits for others to learn from. I felt it would be beneficial if there's such a platform we can relate to. |

Hello people. I am a prospective grad school applicant and an ardent follower of this thread, I thank the many altruists who selflessly render assistance in one way or the other on here. Congratulations to those who recently got their visas and goodluck to those still awaiting funding decision. I recall the many sleepless nights, all in the name of reading one of the success stories of some of folks here. I relish those moments, as it galvanized me and gave me assurance that hardwork truly produces fruits. I read many transcripts here; drhopeful, happyday, sureb0y, imperiouxx, sirriddy, bigfrancis21, MsNas, DanjaNinja, to name a few. However, as assiduous as I was with this act, I am sure I didnt see it all, I barely accessed 50% of the wealth of information sitting idle in this goldmine. This was definitely not due to my ineptitude, I recall sirriddy confessing that he; on the day he took his GRE, sent his scores to some schools he didnt eventually apply to. A couple of others are still in the rut; choosing schools that rarely offer funding or assistantship, or placing all hopes on 2 or 3 schools because of unavailability of funds only to find out that the nebulous information the graduate coordinator provided was merely a bait to 'chop' your application fee. The solution I am about to proffer isn't a panacea for all your grad school obstacles, it is merely a solution in fact, depending on the response it gets. However, it is a good place to start from. I was inspired by Mark's graduation speech to Havard Class of 2017 about connecting people. I created a google form to accommodate information from folks who have applied to graduate school. This will enable prospective applicants have an idea of the school they plan on applying to or schools they can apply to. The form is astoundingly succinct and will barely take 2 minutes to fill; corrections are very welcome. This is the shortened link to fill in the info; http:// bit . ly / 2s4JJx6, (copy and clear the blank spaces) I hope the moderators don't pull this down. I also hope this turns out to be as good as it sounded in my head. This is the shortened link where prospective applicants can view the responses provided http:// bit . ly / 2rvSy5Q (copy and clear the blank spaces). Obrigado. 3 Likes |

gold360: I really don't know much about Nigerian universities. But I'll generalise. 4.1/5 is a decent score. Like I said, for a PhD admission, they are more keen on how well you can carry out research. You should have very solid publications in top notch journals. Even if you don't, the purported mediocre research you have done might be enough to earn you an admission, and perhaps full funding in some not too elite institutions abroad. you just have to put in work.

8701mayor:It's very possible. Provided your publications are top notch. For a PhD, your grades and reputation of institution are less pertinent when compared to your research experience. Besides, there are different institutions abroad, with reputation which is above par and below par, spreading your risks will ensure you achieve your goal. 4 Likes 1 Share |

RIchieSuazo: At this point, you should know the CGPA you'll be graduating with. I think that's the only profile you have now. I will suggest you forget about GRE till you're finally done. Study as hard as you can for your final exams. Make sure your final year thesis is solid, also cultivate a very harmonious relationship with your supervisor and a couple of other lecturers. If you have spare time, it is helpful if you also participate in any ongoing research in your faculty. You can take standardized tests after you get your BSc. 3 Likes |
