happyday:
How strong is your research experience? If it's little or none, focus on your GRE, and score very high. In the meantime, select schools in the mid-100s on rankings. It seems you already know schools you want to apply to. So yeah, GRE is the focus now.

Thanks for the concern everyone, I believe this is an academic forum thus, engendered presenting my profile in that format. To be candid, I don't rely on the so called degree to get what I want, most times,if not all - I don't mention it in conversations I engage in.

I am hopeful, my profile will give me an edge over other applicants and its still work in progress.My final project has a little bit of research work in it and I have a paper to my name with intention of writing one or two papers before the year runs out. In addition, my PPA is a research institute in my state of service. In terms of skill-set possessed in the IT industry and my field, its not that bad for a fresh graduate, I just can't start scribbling it out, as usual, its still work in progress. I am still researching on schools to opt for, I am considering K-state, Penn state univ, TSU,Michigan,Duke, Stanford or Caltech(I won try my luck o ).

My opinion about those first class guys that performed below expectation, the degree was earned as a result of the energy they put into their studies back in Nigeria. Moreover, if a student can survive in this country's "morale-enervating" education system, I believe he can survive in virtually,any academic environment in the world- reason might be ; they lost focus or were simply distracted by the luxury of obodo-oyinbo.
