Fall 2019 proper.
I firmly believe, that any man finest hour, the greatest fulfillment that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause, and lies exhausted on the field of battle, victorious.

So so inspired mehn, been following this thread since 2016(Undergraduate Days). Brothers and sisters believe me this time next year, if at all we are not already in USA, we will be getting ready for our flight.

Thanks Mr Holmes.

Sherlock5577:

Yes it is . Although the Verbal seems kinda easy than expected.

Mine exam is in Abuja.

Let's see how the prepping goes!!!

Hoping for the best! Wishing you the best!!!

My weakness is in the quantitative as well. I am using Manhattan as well for it. It's a great book.

Sherlock5577:

Bro it's just the materials here and reading experiences of test takers from online sources like quora and gradcafe.

Which state is your venue?

I observed some improvement in my quantitative when I started to study 5lb Manhattan. I actually focused on my weaknesses. It's kinda harder than the ETS maths review.

For verbal you can download Magoosh Vocabulary and Flashcards on Google store. I find them very helpful.
Not really started practice for AWA, Just studying some of the rules involved.

Lagos venue.

School: University of Arkansas
Status: Accepted
Program: PhD Cell and Molecular Biology
Funding: Yes (GA)

I have been on this admission of a thing since 2015. Wrote GRE in 2016 but did not apply to any school due to finance. I sat for another GRE in Nov 2017 and I applied to four schools: U of Arkansas, University of Delaware, New Mexico State University, and MTU. Got a regret mail for U of Delaware already but nothing yet from NMSU and MTU. It's really been God and the encouragement I tap from people on this forum.

Profile:
UG course: Microbiology
GPA: 3.7/4.0
GRE: 307
Toefl: 105

May those expecting admit and funding get it by His grace.... AMEN!!!

Fall 2019.

And then the whatsapp group race begins
Is there really any problem with keeping all discussions here? or is it that some people just enjoy being whatsapp group admin

e dey pain me.

onlyme07:


In situation like this,you need first hand and quick info. It takes time to reply everyone here but on whatsapp,you benefit more getting materials and quick info. #myopinion

thank you. if that is the case. then whoever is the group admin should drop his number and let people contact him privately to be added to the group. so that it will not take anything from this thread. agree?

Sigh. What is it about whatsapp groups please? Can we not share information on here? Why do people find it so easy to drop there number on public forums like this Please let's pass information on here first before dropping into whatsapp groups
