Thanks for your response. I have tried all suggestions here except callng ETS. still couldnt access my results with the confirmation ID (16digits).I HAVE sent mail to GRE-Info@ets.org and nothing on that yet. And i got a mail from ets that i can not access my result online few days ago.But i cant still access it with the 16digits registration number..
hotncold: @UNIXLover, I guess every other of your details you are using to check your result online is correct except the REGISTRATION NO: the no they need there is the last 7 or 8 digits in your order confirmation no, I mean after the zeroes or so. Try it, I believe with that you will be able to check your complete score sheet. Cheers and congrats in advance.

Hello guys,
I am really thinking of applying to PHD directly. One of the school i am applying to sent a mail to me telling me that they have more fundings for PHD. Also,the requirement for PHD is almost the same for the MS.
What are the chances of my application being considered? I graduated with a 3.70/5.0 and GRE scores of 300.Although they specified that GRE is not a requirement for the MS but for the PHD.

Thanks guys

Hello fam,
One of the schools am applying to said GRE is not part of their requirement for my intending program.and even while filling the application for the course,there is no place to put my gre score in the page.But they strongly stressed emphasis on toeful.


They also indicate that they give GA . Now Question is,
What Criteria will they be using since GRE is not a requirement for my Course? Although i already took the GRE exam and the score is very low (298).and i am not interested in taking the exam again because i am very busy with work (I close really late everyday and work sometimes on weekend).
What information can i ask the the school about how they award GA ?

Thanks Guys.

Thanks for your response. My fear is those Profs in my department weren't that friendly.But i am willing to try.
constant57: You can always get recommendations from any of your lecturers even during dis strike period. All you need is to build rapport with them. In my case, i forwarded a mail to them , followed up with a call, and delivered wines to their offices (call it bribery or watever---lol). Just manage them well am sure u wld be fine. Good luck to u in ur endeavours.
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part5 by UNIXLover(m): 3:45pm On Oct 20, 2013
Thank you Imperioux.
imperiouxx: Your HOD should be able to write you recommendation but since they are on strike, you will have to wait or look for a way to contact the HOD.

Yes, if your school says they give GA and you meet up the requirement, then you'll have to submit GA application while applying for admission.
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part5 by UNIXLover(m): 11:51am On Oct 20, 2013
Hello guys,
I am gradually gathering documents .What of you cant get any lecturer to give you Letter of Recommendation? What Next?
Also,while sending mails to school,should i make it clear that i will be needing GA/TA and the likes?

Does my SOP have to contains all details about my Educations,Working experience?

I am just trying to shoot right once.

Any Advise will be highly Appreciated.

thank you sir.
godG: In bold: NO sir
Sir,
the trend over the years is writing exams before applying. You don't need to rush, take one step at a time. Perhaps you are running behind schedule, put a mail, call, etc. through to ur school.
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by UNIXLover(m): 2:42pm On Oct 10, 2013
Thank you sir.
FutureDon: Yes, you can apply to schools (and pay application fees) before writing the GRE. However, some schools would ask you to indicate your GRE date while filling their online application. Good luck!

I have been following the forums for months.Thanks to all the guys helping us out here with Key Information.I also learnt how to register for GRE/Toeful here and I successfully registered by calling the number someone dropped here.

Getting Overwhelmed with the enormous tasks involve with GRE preparation especially those of Us working...I struggle to balance the time .
GRE is registered for Oct 24th. I have been reading all the materials recommended here for the last few months.

But this forum has been a form of encouragement to me.

RomanceRe: She Had An Affair With My Landlord.. by UNIXLover(op): 11:42am On Sep 10, 2013
My Landlord knows my Fiancee. Yes...she passed the night in My place but i did not have anything to do with her.I only got shocked she had an affair with such an old man .She said the man had come to her university then and thats how they met.Although i already told her that i am distancing myself from her.
barbie107: If I say I hear:minus de girls thing seriously what if de girl wasn't an ex runs girl nd ur landlord used to chase de girl before or presently u wd just dump de girl 4 him : naw ddes completes my judgement of u : ur either a very shy guy who doesn't. Know it yet, or u just don't care about de girl , or a coward or u want to save face infront of ur landdlord advice : too much familiarity causes problems reduce ur closeness to ur landlord or else 1 day u might end. Up hvg issues with him de day u finally man up
RomanceRe: She Had An Affair With My Landlord.. by UNIXLover(op): 10:18am On Sep 10, 2013
I pay my rent.Thats not the issue.I just respect him and i dont want anything to destroy that.
veave: BTW. you are not even indebted to him in any way so you dont need to be in his good books for w@ever reason. or dont you pay your rent?
RomanceRe: She Had An Affair With My Landlord.. by UNIXLover(op): 12:22pm On Sep 09, 2013
you dont get bro,am not even interested. am only concern about my relationship with my Landlord. The man has created a good perception of himself to me and he always claim to be a strong Church Man. I have told the girl not to come to my House again as i do not want to complicate my relationship with my Landlord.
Enegod: a repentant runz girl.... bro, you deserve better
RomanceRe: She Had An Affair With My Landlord.. by UNIXLover(op): 11:16am On Sep 09, 2013
what am saying is,i dont want to have issue with my Landlord. Am worried that he might be thinking that lady told me about that affair and i dont want that to affect my relationship with the man..
Phranciz: I think the one who has issues is your landlord and not the lady. So creating emnity with her would not be worth it.
RomanceShe Had An Affair With My Landlord.. by UNIXLover(op):
Hello guys...so I met a lady some weeks back but been too busy to attend to her calls.Over the weekend,she came over to my place and she said she was interested in couple of services i provide (Training and the Likes) . But our conversation went personal and we discussed about my relationships and she told me how she was raped by five guys while in the University. Towards evening,she left my House to get something she needed and while she was leaving,she saw my landlord and they exchanged greetings and told him she came to see me. She returned to my House around 6 pm and she told me she that she was introduced to my landlord by some of her friends that that were into runs while she was in University but that she didn't do anything with him. I believed her because i didn't even care if she had done anything simply because i wasn't interested in anything. But to my surprised,when i saw her off,while coming back,my landlord replied me with this cold greeting. (He knows my Fiancee).So i had to call this girl to beg her to tell me the truth of what really happened between them. She then said she had an affair with him and it was only ones. Now,My this man is always claiming to be a perfect family man (Chore Church Man) and has warned me in the past about bringing all kind of girls home.

On Before now,i have a good relationship with the man,and i don't want anything to mess that up. I have made up my mind i will never let that lady step into my compound again.
Do you guys think i will have further problem with this man? How do i correct every wrong impression he might be thinking i am having about me?


Thanks
TravelRe: Should I Quit My Job For Masters In The Us? by UNIXLover(op): 3:43pm On Sep 05, 2013
Reading this gives me the very courage i ever needed.Thank you for this Piece .
2good: I think the final decision lies with you. I was seriously adviced by people not to leave my high paying job by the Nigerian standard for a masters in Europe but I did and I am very much happy for making that decision today. Most people will tell you not to resign because they feel 200,000 NGN is a big money but as far as i am concern, that is too small for you to mortgage your life on. Life is full of risk. I lef Nigeria for my Masters in 2010 which is peak of recession and that didnt stop me from getting a very good job even 6 months before graduation. I think its better not to speak to people anymore because most will tell you not to go for your masters. The final decision will have to lie with you and please put marriage in your lowest priority now until you have some level of satisfaction career wise because your career determines what kind of future you'll have i.e A bad career means unfulfilled marriage.
Also there are lots of things you learn about studying and living abroad which goes beyond the job people always like to stress on. The average Nigerian is backward in reasoning and very much uncivil in the public including the educated ones that is why the whole country is messed up. Studying/ Living abroad helps you to get some level of sanity and civility in your life which is something you cannot really quantify. Also you get to be in a multicultural environment which helps to build your confidence in the future and also develops many other skills which you will never learn working in a purely Nigerian work environment.
The final decision however lies with you and like I said earlier, stop telling people you plan to resign because they will discourage you from doing that especially the ones that gain from you financially currently. Good luck with your final decision.
