Hey Guys! I applied to 6 unis in total for PhDs. All apps sent in and completed before Christmas '18. Chemistry (Accepted; Science scholar $30k (stipend + GA) no tuition ) UMinnesota - Medicinal Chemistry (Rejected) UIowa - Medicinal and Natural Product Chemistry (awaiting) Texas Tech Health Sciences Center - Pharmaceutical Science (Accepted) virginia Commonwealth Uni - Pharmaceutical Science/Med Chem (awaiting) Washington State Uni - Chemistry (Rejected) Acceptance mail came on Friday but somehow I missed it. Stumbled on it yesterday, and Voila! a pleasant surprise, especially after seeing the demoralizing result updates of the elections and realisation of the trajectory of the future of Nigeria, on the way to electing a senile, insensitive, barely literate cattle herder with a dubious WAEC qualification that has no regard for the law or court orders. I want a better Nigeria, and that's not being selfish, and this election was an opportunity for the people to have made a statement but what do we have? Anyway, I'm almost certain I'll be in the US this fall, haven't really decided yet, as I hope to get at least another offer, but doing Chemistry in the heart of the big apple is a fascinating prospect that I fancy, pretty much why I applied. I didn't contact any faculty member by the way, I however corresponded with the program officer/coordinator especially since my GRE quants was below the required 50th percentile and he advised I should still apply. My GRE Chemistry was also abysmal percentile-wise, although I got a little over 50% of the questions correct. I would say praise god or whatever if I believed in any of that. But it can't be only god and prayers that produce desirable results, however, I would still say I was quite fortunate this time. Being my third application cycle, first two were focused mainly at European universities. Serendipity, providence or whatever the nomenclature caused me to stumble upon this thread and blessed be the day that I read experiences of people here with funded offers, thus rekindling my aspiration for a PhD scholarship and directing my energy where the money is, the US. Good fortunes to the fall '17 and '18 set who left their experiences here that are still of tremendous benefit to all and sundry, High Star for una! Thanks to everyone who responded to my posts and inquiries and also those who aspire for an education by taking the GRE. You never know who you may inspire to dream again and go for opportunities for a better life. Keep contributing! Blessed be the ones that have contributed and still do here. Y'all should be President of Nigeria. TL;DR Got a funded admission offer, the first after 2 rejections. 20 Likes 1 Share |
| Education / Us Teachers On Strike by miqos02(m): 11:06pm On Feb 11, 2019 |
Denver teachers went on strike Monday after failing to reach a deal with administrators on pay in the latest example of educator discontent, following a wave of walkouts over the last year. Denver's teachers started picketing before the start of the school day and students crossed through the picket lines on their way to class in some locations. Students in at least one school walked out of class and demonstrated in support of their teachers. The city's schools will remain open during the strike and will be staffed by administrators and substitute teachers, the school district said. But classes for 5,000 preschool children were canceled because the district does not have the staff to take care of them. Union leaders told reporters they were frustrated with failed talks over the weekend aimed at reaching a deal. Union president Henry Roman said teachers were committed to reaching a deal but said that both sides needed a cooling off period. Another negotiation session is expected on Tuesday. The strike for Denver's more than 4,000 teachers is their first in 25 years. It comes after teachers walked off the job in Arizona and West virginia last year and Los Angeles teachers went on strike last month. The Los Angeles teachers ended up getting the same 6 percent raise offered early on by the nation's second-largest school district. However, they also sought and won promises for smaller class sizes and adding more nurses and counselors. In Denver, the main sticking points in the talks over a contract governing an incentive pay system are lowering bonuses to put more money in teachers' base pay and how to allow teachers to advance in pay based on education and training, the norm in most school districts. The union pushed for lower bonuses for high-poverty and high-priority schools to free up more money for overall teacher pay and criticized the district for spending too much money on administration. However, the district sees those particular bonuses as key to boosting the academic performance of poor and minority students. Some teachers argue that spending money on smaller class sizes and adding support staff, like counselors, is the best way to help disadvantaged students learn and make them good schools for teachers to work in. |

There is a Nigerian from UI or so who even got into Iowa State's E/E PhD program fall 2018 whose profile is not better than yours. Sometimes, one just needs favour which you are in abundance of this time around. Good luck making a choice. #YesYouWill 1 Like 1 Share |

Nice that people are posting about their applications. Way to keep the thread lively and inspire fall2020 applicants and beyond. I remember the exploits of Scholastica16, drhopeful, femi132 et al and how reading their stories kept me going. I applied to 9 schools for a mix of MS and PhD programs: virginia Tech (MS) Purdue University (MS) Auburn University (MS) Colorado state university (MS) University of Maryland (PhD) University of Massachusetts (Ms/PhD) University of Tennessee (PhD) Iowa State university (PhD) Rennsalear polytechnic institute (PhD) Profile: Program: Electrical Engineering CGPA: 3.64/4.00 GRE: 163Q/158V/4 TOEFL: 104 I was a bit ambitious with my applications this year. Reason being that I have seen people with lesser profiles get admitted into these schools. I've put in my best and corresponded with professors in some schools. I'm hopeful that one of these schools provides admission and funding. I however have a contingency plan but I hope it doesn't come to that. #Fall2019 #YesWeCan 16 Likes |

solihp: Hi. Data Science, albeit nascent is a burgeoning and lucrative industry. There are many schools offering this course. I wish you could take the GRE before January so you'll make the PhD in Data Science deadline at University of Tennessee Knoxville (Jan 31st). Very well rated. But there're other schools that offer the course. Your options are just limited because of the deadline. Picked this up from a post by a moniker deWav on this thread so you can use the below deadlines to plan your applications.
As for the GRE, you have all the materials you need on this thread. The magoosh and manhattan alongside the ETS guide are recommended for the quant and ETS Guide and Princeton review for the verbal. Also take many practice tests. Goodluck with everything. #Fall2019 #YesWeCan 5 Likes 1 Share |

Shadbay: It's great to see a fellow Palaeozoic brother !!!Your GPA and IELTS are good for graduate studies. As advised here, please ace your GRE. It could inform your choice of schools; Ambitious, Moderate, Safe. Although you may be behind the timeline for some schools, do extensive research on different schools and faculty who share similar research interests. Please contact them from now. It wouldn't be easy, but keep buzzing them. Their info is on their school's website. Also. For Stratigraphy/Sedimentology and Pet Geoscience, you should check the school's in the South; close to the Gulf of Mexico. These are close to important sites for Petroleum Research (particularly the Permian Basin). Schools such as University of Texas (they have a couple of campuses e.g., Austin, Permian Basin, Tyler, ....), Universities in Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, and the likes. But keep your options wide too. Use gradecafe.com and msinus.com to know what schools would be best fits for your profile. I wish you the best!! Fall '19. 5 Likes |

Hello house! I've been following this thread for quite a long time now. I want to commend the level of altruistic and selfless contributions on this thread. You guys should keep it up. I was supposed to register for GRE sometime last year but I was too lily-livered but I've summoned up course to face it. I know I can't meet the deadline for most Fall '19 application but I'm still going to try for some schools that have mid-February deadlines. I plan writing my test by January. My profile: BSc 2016 - Geology (Geophysics option) - 3.46/5 IELTS - S 7.0, W 6.5, R 7.0, L 8.5 - Overall 7.5 6 months internship at an IOC (if it will help) No publications Applying for Masters in Geosciences with research concentration in Petroleum Geology, Stratigraphy or Structural Geology (depends on the school) I'm gunning for TA/GA/RA positions. The following schools are within my purview; New Mexico State University (deadline is mid-Feb and my aunt lives in New Mexico) Ohio University (the Geology dept doesn't require GRE) West virginia University University of Minneapolis University of Maine Oregon State University University of Alabama Georgia State University University of Utah I'll appreciate any help/advice provided to steer me in the right direction. Thanks.. 3 Likes |
