My brother don't let inferiority complex kill you o. Have you heard an Italian speaking English? Or a French person speaking English? Or even a hungarian? Their English is heavily accented with their native tongue as a result they don't pronounce some of the words well. Yet they write TOEFL and they pass and they don't laugh at each other cos of their accent. There is nothing wrong in having an accent, everybody has an accent.

Nairaland doesn't notify me of new posts or mentions, I just come here anytime I want to touch base with my roots, always soothing. Generally, schools would want you to direct all of your inquires to the admissions committee and not the faculty members, so you might see some of them explicitly telling you not to contact those lecturers.

But, if you feel you've deep interests in a Prof's research group, send them a short and quick email, hinting briefly about your background, and focusing more on your perspective of his research works. You might gently add a PS that you've applied, and would be interested to wok with him. Bottom line, is don't put him under any pressure to get you into his lab. And don't set your expectations too high; if the adcomms thinks your app is good, you'll be admitted, when you'll get to choose which lab you wanna go.

So, I'll say send the mails, even though there's every chance they don't reply. Or if they would.

Cheers!

bro most deadline for fall is around june

Thanks a million for your replies.

I thought it'd be too late to apply for fall 17, since we're already in Jan 17. Also most of the top 100 schools in Physics (US News), that I feel I have higher prospects of securing admission to, have ended registration.

I don't know if I can still meet the deadline for some others, since one'll still have to send transcripts to the schools and that could take a while. I was wondering of going for Spring 18 but don't know if funding will be available.

I'm in a pickle here.

Scholastica16:


Like we have all tried to say in the past and even now: the chances of gaining admission is a holistic process and not just zeroed down to certain GRE scores or even a GPA. However, schools have a minimum GPA they work with for both undergraduate and graduate study and I think you can begin from there. Your 2'2 first degree, do you think when converted by WES could lie above 3.0/4.0 or thereabouts? That's one good indicator. Second, your masters' GPA that is strong is also an added advantage. If you have done any internships, publications or viable research experience they contribute more weightage than standardized test scores albeit yours is definitely competitive for most B-tier schools. I think you can guess by now that I am trying to say you are good to go and should have started looking for schools that match your profile.

Schools are realizing that graduate work is beyond having excellent test-taking skills. Some people can ace tests and still not complete graduate work because graduate work can be grueling and in so doing provide less room for people to gratify themselves with good grades. If you feel you are cut-out for this, then your chances are good.

Now please, don't ask people to recommend schools for you without bringing your own findings to the table as that would smack of laziness which is becoming the Nigerian way. With all that has been said here, go and find out schools that in recent trends have accepted profiles such as yours (with the right funding and program) and if your list is too long we can help you prune it.

There is no Heaven
There is no Hell
And God doesn't exist

This is why i respect white people, they made the whole world believe that there's something called God, heaven and hell

Religion is the biggest scam in the history of humanity

Who have seen this God ?? Nobody
Who have been to heaven before and told you how it looks ?? Nobody
Who have went to hell and told you guys how it looks ??

Or you read it in the Bible, who wrote the Bible ?? God ??

Who do you call Jesus ?? The guy whose mother was impregnated by the holy spirit (the only person to be impregnated by this imaginary Holy spirit)
How and where did you get the picture of that Jesus that died 4000 years ago ?? Oh, there was iPhone 7 when your imaginary God was on earth

What does it profit a man to pay tithe for pastor so Jesus will build mansion for you after you die? U be pikin? U know no say u don old?

How is this madness different from believing in 72 virgins after death?

By the way, if God needs us to sing him for eternity. Just give him an ipod. HE is all-Powerful, so keeping it fully charged wont be a problem for him.

I will be contacting you and others who have sent me messages in due course. Presently we are very full. This set is being trained with a grant I got from a foreign foundation so you can only imagine the rush we had for the few spaces available. I am working on getting a N4million grant from another foreign foundation. By October I will know the outcome of my application. I am hopeful it will be approved so that appropriate scholarship can be given to those who need to learn some cool skills so that you won't have to pay for the training.

So keep up with the prayers.
