Thanks a lot Toluth.

I did both TOEFL and GRE. Although the department indicate you must produce your GRE not later than after your 1st semester but note also, that it seems to be one of the criteria for giving funding.
I was given funding as a Graduate Academic Assistant earning $20/hour subject to a maximum of 20hours/week. It also covers out of state tuition waiver. Quickly apply as they also admit for spring and sometimes gives funding for new students in spring as well.
Above all, try as much as possible to communicate frequently with Janice at least to show your genuine intentions.
Wish you the best. Should you need more information, please do not hesitate to revert.

Well, I guess it depends on the program you are admitted into. If the program doesnt require you to take a test score, explain that to the VO and possibly go with a proof. Exemptions for tests like TOEFL (english related stuffs) are always spelt out on the I20. I'm a graduate student and never sat for any test.
All the best.

Hey dude- do not compare WAEC/NECO to GRE or GMAT. GMAT/GRE are for graduate students-by that i mean students having their first degree and aiming to further their studies with a Masters degree or doctoral degree.

So the main difference between GRE and GMAT - is that GMAT is mainly required from students in the field of management or some other fields- but GRE is mostly required by graduate schools.


GRE contains four sections:  verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking and analytical skills. Although the GRE also has eight different other subject tests. GRE is also a computer based test.

GMAT on the other hand contains just three sections: the analytical writing assessment, quantitative and verbal. As i said earlier its mostly required from students in the field of management studies.

If you are studying in the UK- these test are not mostly required- except you apply to elite universities. So an IELTS test is one of the basic requirements for a study in the UK.


Best of luck.

For the UK - IELTS is the standard English Test while for America its mostly TOEFL.


For admission to the US- depending on your field of study- the GRE would be required especially for those studying at the graduate degree level.

For management studies, financial or science - GMAT is required. But the most crucial step is checking the university website.

I just read a message in my inbox saying that I av won Americann Visa lottery and that I need to pay $US880 via western union one american embassy in Uk before my letter could be sent to me, please advise, thanks.
@ayanfe4me, I also received a similar message but the only difference is that I am asked to pay $819, so that explains that its a cheap scam,

if you will be attending a school that runs semester, most schools allow you to do a max of 9 units and min of 6 units as a grad. There is usually a general fee applicable to all, then as int'l students you now add the cost per unit to the fee. for example, if the the tuition or say general fee is $3k, the cost per unit say $300; so the total cost for 9units in a semester equals $5,700 (3000+(300*9)). i guess this could be applicable also to schools on terms also. take care.

From my little experience to get started without anyone on ground could be very difficult and frustrating - you can say that to the embassy, but believe me you need someone most times. However, i learnt Texas or Minnesota could be a bit cheaper but i've not been there though. You may also check out the websites of all the schools to compare info.
