so wetin concern us ? I know business school is a backdoor to the highly selective bulge bracket/boutique i-banks/ consulting 3 (bain, bcg, mckinsey)/ accounting (pwc, ernst and young, deloitte). But very few nigerians can afford it anyways so no need to rub it on their face. Also as someone who attends a target school for Goldman sachs/ Jp morgan all that glitters is not gold. You would just sit down in a small office being part of the machinery and later becoming frustarted because of the limited opportunities for upward mobility as well as the greed. If you want to distinguish yourself, start a company and aspire it to be the next GS/JM

However, if you are rich and you want to become rily rily rich well business school in the way for you .

valedictorian in her high school? what is so hard about that, lol. I thot she was valedictorian at college.

Eh! What is "sexual orientation"? You tink say you de akata? Angry
In Nigeria there is no need for "sexual orientation"; men love women and women love men.

Sodomy is a jailable crime. People put tyres on those molesting kids and set them alight; the same goes with people molesting goats and other animals.

Lots of gay people in the world+naija. You are into what you are into, and it is no ones business in my own opinion.

And the harry potter stuff was because i wanted all the people in naija who could not buy the book yet to know the ending . I was being a good samaritan, because seun and co, can afford  to buy harry potter 7 doesnt mean other people can. Instead of thnxing me, i got banned   .

hahaha u serious. You should have said that a long tym ago. why did you change your name now.I was really confused oo. I thought it was a random girl looking for greencard on nairaland, even though i am just in school .

So are you still premed? Have you taken orgo yet? What state are you in, and what school, I know you dont want to post it, but i can easily figure it out.

Yes seun was the one doing powershow Abeg he shouldnt block me again oo

wait oyinda, i am confused ooo, did u have a previous name b4.

@Oyinda

How did you know? yeah i usually only visited the education board. Then Seun or one of the moderators banned me because i posted the ending to harry potter 7 online like 2 years ago. So i stopped using nairaland. But i reactivated my account this summer because i am bored.

I want to propose that becomrich and the amaka might be the same person just trolling around.

becomrich would make all of us join benin republic or somethin silly like that

I know for one that i would make an excellent president. Would make nigeria join the league of top nations. So Sefago for presido (see it even rhymes)

yes i am applying to many schools but my case is very special. I studied pure science and am transfering to chemical- my chances are really low, so i have to up it up. If you guys apply to schools that dont have 10000 nigerians u would have an easier chance of acceptance. Applications are also expensive. i dont have the money yet and don't know were to get it , but the benefits of entering a PhD are really high because of the full tuition and stipend they give you so why not spend as much as you can on trying to get it.

Anyways u guys should be wished goodluck on your applications, work on the SOP and GRE because that is what they use to judge people from foreign universities. SOP should be well tailored to suit the interest of some professors in teh school, if you do that your chances are improved

Erastus is the king of thieves. Obaole the third. He conned you guys, do u think he approved those loans without getting his cut- all those complaining about the people owing the money- erastus new the risk and he too his cut. I just hope naija has extradition agreement with Ghana and the UK so that they can pull that mofo back to naija. Wicked people dey for this world- Bible in one hand, thieving hands in the other.

so if you do renewable energy will you work in naija? I am just asking ooo

Like chemical engineering in the US is leaving its traditional path into the more biological related aspects so i am interested in going into pharmaceutical products b4 getting another MBA . I love names: Chief [Insert my name] PhD, MBA, Honorable, OFR, GCN, NTA, AIT e.t.c

But I am done with my GRE so I am not worried. The GRE is useless anyways for engineering in the US. They don't use it at all especially if you went to school here so i wasn't interested in getting a 1500, I had already done that in the SATs. I am applying to between 10-15 schools because my background is limited in chemical engineering. However, I would advise you guys to branch out especially if you are doing PhD- I know u guys only know about texas but what about Carnegie mellon, berkeley, USC, Purdue, university of wisconsin, university of maryland, penn state, university of minnesota, ohio state, university of washington and the list goes on. Don't apply to MIT or Stanford- it is unlikely you would get in, but there is so much more you could try. Pick a killer list of 10 schools in places you would like to stay in the US and do significant research about the schools. Visit the website of the schools and do significant research about them. If possible contact some of the professors you plan to work with in regards to research. Dont ask about your admission chances.

If you have around a 4.5/5.0 contact me if you want help with schools and also if you want me to read your SOP (statement of purpose), if its less you are on your own . Also with a GRE of 1400+ +4.5/5.0, I would willingly offer extra advise. Why I am saying this isbecause they have a higher chance of getting accepted at top schools which is my forte. Easier to get financial aid/Taship/Scholarship at top schools for a PhD. Usually Stanford, Berkeley and MIT expect you to fund yourself for masters. Also don't forget schools in Canada.

Peace, I am going to listen to the great high priest Fela.

gala, then drink tap water. I used to remember secondary school for naija, my pocket money each day was 100 naira, man and i used to treasure the money, used to buy fan yogo

I pity you. You are insulting someone online, you haven't figured out how much the person has achieved. You better learn to say yessir to me. Calling me plagiarizer and running your mouth.

Despite all this you are using spurious logic to support your arguments, and like most nigerians, using extremely supercilious language to buttress your point. I am just advising you to be less wordy and flamboyant when writing, because the purpose of writing is conveying your meaning immediately. To show you, i dont plagiarize, let me write a little ditty for you:

Mr Know all is an idiot, who lived in the house of idiots and served in the house of idiot. He worked as an idiot, drove to his job as an idiot. Infact he is an idiot. Idiot.

Ok now applaud my brilliance. I have successfully called you an idiot without using very verbose grammar. Idiot.

Also from what i previously said earlier, dont bother converting your GPA:

Never attempt to convert a GPA mathematically. If you scored, 75% marks, it is not same as 3 out of 4 GPA. Your GPA could be close to 3.9 if the US University determines that in your University and field the topper typically scores 77%.

That means someone with a 4.5/5 wuld not have a 3.6/4.0 in the US system (slightly above average), but close to a 3.8/4.0 which is really high. So ur 3.7/5.0 on a 4.0 scale would have to be determined by the american university officials who are very good at doing this.

But i still think this is unfair oo especially for us who went to school in the US.

yo bros

Say thank you oo

Or just use this:
Conversion to a 4.0 Scale

Substitute the following values: A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0, O=0.

Note: a record not containing F's or O's can be converted to 4.0 scale by subtracting 1 from the 5.0 result.

Sit down for your house when NEPA/PHCN takes light and you have nothing to do and calculate each grade from your transcript.

Yeah its a bit irrelevant to the topic, but i actually had a reason for asking, me myself would prolly end up in the oil sector if i cant get anything else . But its not really off topic, because people are asking about schools and other stuff, and I was just curious. Yeah, but most if not everyone are doing PhDs in chemical engineering not just mechanical, electrical, industrial e.t.c so i was just curious about the overrepresentation of chem eng.

I wouldn't go into the dynamics but if you are doing a PhD it means u plan to do research and be a professor, and not to work. Also if you are coming straight from naija it would prolly take more than 4 years to complete a PhD. Look at 5-6 years except you have a masters and also very smart.

@emmyclev,
I dont know how to help you with GPA conversion, because here in the US a GPA of 3.7/5 would be very low if you use the basic math rule of changing fractions. That would be less than a 3.00/4.00 which means u got drunk every day and dated various girls every single day . Ask other Nigerians who applied to school in the US. They would be in a better position. I would check online for u though.

By the way mate your post was riddled with shitty grammar, I have helped you perform some corrections. Also stop using a lot of lofty words, be simple and concise it makes life easier:

To use such a phrase as displayed above as the opening gambit to an argument shows the depth of your intellect, equating your IQ with humans will be a disservice to the wild animals roaming the kenyan wild. It is apparent that the animalistic instinct in man that was hitherto in extinction for centuries is quite intact in your mind. I just hope that the culture, courtesy, and civility of the host nation you are living at will rub on you with time. You can beg to differ but to call people names is uncalled for.

Also read the irony in your statement--you go on a name calling spree while admonishing me for s smaller case of name calling. Also by the way everything you used as an insult could be paraphrased into just one phrase 'You are a beast of no nation." Stop being overly wordy. Man by the way learn how to insult concisely , this is a public forum and it is a requisite skill .

To use such word as displayed above as the opening gambit to an argument shows the dept of how low you are intellectually, to equate your IQ with normal human beings will be a diservice to the wild animals roaming the sarangetti in Kenyan. It is apparent the animalistic instict in man that has been in extinction for centuries is still intact in your mind, your body and soul. I just hope the culture, courtesy, and civilty of the host nation you are hibernating will rob off on you with time. You can beg to differ but to call people names is uncalled for.

Man my IQ is doing great. From standardized testing I have taken its supposed to be in the top 1-2%. I reiterate "you are an idiot"

I pay my tithes to a Shuwa Arab call girl that is saving to get into Unilag. It's my contribution to the society.

And i am sure you are getting somethin in return if you know what i mean

Man abeg you go need assistant pastor- help your bros who dey suffer overseas . PM me oooo
