Scholastica16:14k ? At what rate.... I wouldn't advice anyone to send scores at such high rate. I sent all my scores via BY Mafit at 8k per school, and with access bank visa card, it's 8,775NGN. Make we dey cut cost oo.... |

adetola007: Choi!!!! This guy!!!! I just open mouth as I dey read una profiles .... I think we should have LSU Applicant Association of Nigeria (LAAN) KFUPM is a nice school, but I heard they admit mostly Muslim, applicants from other religion have very slim chance of getting in. They even have questionnaire on d religion thingy in their online application. Perhaps, u are a moslem brother...... I once applied to d school but the lecturer who was supposed to submit a recommendation letter for my application didn't meet up with their deadline, so my application was eventually not reviewed. I will still give it a shot again... In addition to d schools mentioned earlier. I also applied to: University of Arkansas TAMUK (During my application, I contacted a prof who's doing research in my area of interest. After some email exchanges, he asked me mention his name in my application material as my potential advisor. I believe things will evetually work out fine) Ohio University U of Louisiana Lafayette Wichita State Uni Wayne State Uni. San Diego State Uni (though they are still on my neck for my official transcript and degree certificate from my school. Fee days ago, I got an email from d Administrative Asst of d dept relaying a well packaged info from d Grad Coordinator (I initially thought it was admission decision). When I opened d attachment in d email, I was pissed with d content. It was just a letter from d grad coord informing me that my application isn't complete. Though they asked me to forward my SOP and LOR to d dept. I responded to d email explaining d challenges associated with sending my transcript to them, n d grad coord reverted saying that he perfectly understand my frustration, but that d grad school do not permit them to evaluate profile without official transcript......I just tire for d school The speaking requirement for GA in university of Arkansas is quite high (ie, 26). I was surprised when the school contacted me saying that they use WAEC result for applicants from Nigeria...... Did any UArk applicant get that? I wrote d TOEFL test though Thank God these great men here with stellar profile aren't applying to d same program as me.....they are mostly 'War heads', so I still get hope with my weak profile.... |

Hello house, Please is there anyone who is in Georgia Tech, applied to Georgia Tech or know much about the school? I submitted my application to the school late last year before their priority deadline, though my recommendation respondents were not able to submit their recommendation before the deadline; only one did. Few days ago, I got a response from the Director of Office of Student Services of my desired department. Below is his response: ************************************************************************************************* Dear Seeker88: We are in receipt of your application to the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech. You have a very strong file and credentials. Thank you for your interest in Georgia Tech! You have not been offered admission, but at the present time your file has been made available for viewing by the faculty of the Woodruff School via an internal web site. If a faculty member views your file and expresses an interest in working with you, we will notify you and continue to process your application. This evaluation will continue until April 15, 2017 and we will advise you of our decision at the latest by that date. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. ********************************************************************************** Mbok, is this a mild way of saying that my application is rejected?? . Please who know how their admission process works Please tell me what you think about this feedback... Thanks in anticipation.... |

You guys have been doing a great job here, ensuring this thread doesn't die! However, like some people rightly pointed out, test takers on this thread no longer share their GRE test experience. They just come in, ask question and disappear. I implore all GRE test takers to always share their experience for posterity sake......this thread would have been this great without the contributions from those who have shared their experiences. Don't just comment only when you need information, cos that's not gonna help in the growth of this thread. Regarding the issue of sharing our graduate application experience, I think that would be better compiled after going through the whole process.... We are still in the process and not really 100% certain of what the outcome will eventually be. Nevertheless, sharing a specific feedback from school or challenge encountered while applying to a particular school is not a bad idea, as the good people here who had applied to the school (or know about d school) could make a useful contribution. That's by the way.... Any applicant to TAMU, GIT, LSU and FSU/FAMU? I applied to many schools though, both the high and low.... . God will see us through. |

aanexplus:For now, I can't specifically recommend schools that are not stingy with funding as I am also an applicant for Fall 2017. Your profile is okay. I'd suggest you search for schools that offers your course (with your desired specialization). You could narrow down your search to schools whose GRE requirements are close to your scores. Also, check the research expenditure of schools/faculty.....I noticed that schools with higher research expenditure tend to give more funding to their students. Send emails to the graduate coordinator of the schools selected; certainly, most won't respond to your emails and few will respond. Strategize further based on responses received..... Send as many emails as you can; there's no fee for emailing the grad coord at least During my search, I stumbled on a copy of Engineering School ranking from US News and World Report, and it was quite helpful in making my selection (I have attached a copy here for your use). I applied to very few top schools considering my 'not-stellar' profile, and turned more applications to the schools down the ranking while believing God for my testimony soon https://www.dropbox.com/s/e9p1vxwrnnqszdy/All%20Engineering%20Ranking%202017-US%20News%20%26%20World%20Reports.xlsx?dl=0 Whichever strategy u wanna stick to, act fast because the priority deadline for most average school is around mid Feb 2017. I wish you all d best in your application. #TeamFall2017# 2 Likes 1 Share |

Hello fam, Please who knows much about South Dakota State University? Your opinion about d school and d region will be highly appreciated. I contacted d graduate coordinator of my desired program in d school and he kinda encouraged me to apply, and that I could be considered for TA depending on d application pool generally. Please who knows if it's worth giving a shot? Heard d area is extremely cold, are there Nigerians surviving in such cold region? .....cos extreme cold weather dey fear me, don't know if I can ever coupe with such. What about University of Wyoming? And please, how do I know those extremely cold regions in the US? |
