toefl get 300/300 if u can (or at least target 280)
Gre target 780 math 750 Verbal(many of the ppl who end up in the likes of harvard get 800m/790v and there're many who get perfect scores

Yes dats through, but most importantly getting funding largely depends on your research preference, the school, and ur research professor.

Sometimes it better you apply for direct PhD option. with that you might get funding more easily than Masters, because PhD candidates are given more preference for funding in US departments.

More later.........

Fowe has just hot an important point here. If you need funding and you are the type that likes research, I would also advise that you apply for PHd. I have quite a lot of number of firends that get funding for their PHd program.

Know that the most important is getting a prospective supervisor to show interest.

Also note, if u won go for Elect, your papers must be very strong ooo Bcus Elect is the most competitive course. All thos chinkonchi (achian guys) ve gooten distinction, and almost a perfect score in GRE, they make it very competitive

thx fowe.. i almost forgot to add that....
Elect/elect is the most competitive grad school course ( yeah..more competitive than Harvard MBA!!!).

A friend made 720 in quants and he got a PhD IN CHEMISTRY from Gatech.
whereas...even with a a straight 800 and a first class, a friend could not secure admission in Elect/Elect UDelaware talkless of having aid.
with 780 quants, a fried was able to get into elect @ Virginia tech.. but no aid...
with 1460, 1st class... a friend could not get admission into ELECT/ELECT @ cornell ... at first try ( he tried profletting the ff year and he got it!)
So much competition in elect.
if u dont have extraordinary passion for this field, i suggest you up for another course...for wasy access into gradschool and easy funding.

hi gb
thanks for the info i really have a question, any idea how i could get into grad school in canada. would really appreciate the info. thanks

I suppose canada is easier to get into than the USA. Anyway, design your resume with relevant courses and research interests and start contacting potential lecturers through the school's dept website. Remember, they're human beings like you so no fear.

which course and which school
i hope youre not considering McGill ooo
make i hear from u first sha

Yes ooo, canada should be easier, but i think the CGPA u finished with your undergraduate would be more emphasized in canada than in the US. I think US still chekout ur GRE scores, even if u dont ve very high CGPA in school.
Which course you wana study/reserach?

While trying to get admission a few years back, I stumbled across a site that proved so helpful. Some of you may have heard of it:

http://www.infozee.com

I am not too knowledgeable about the US grad school thing because I have always thought that the few procedures I knew about were irrelevant. One trick I learnt while looking for funding was this: Google search for ORGANISATIONAL scholarships in the countries and STATES you intend heading to. That will help spread your funding net wider. Apply for such long before the intended resumption date.
Anyway, try out the site. It might help you all in your searches.

Some schools in Canada won't let you get in without a CGPA of at least 4.0. A residence permit comes after about 2 years, and citizenship after 5.

Pls does anybody have any info about drexel University, USA
I would like to know its rating and how good the school is. Thanks

Can someone kindly explain to me what the rush to school in the USA is for? I don't really get it.

_________________

Hi, I dont believe there is a rush for American school but a rush to seek knowledge. People are not only going to school in US but other school. I just want to bring one thing to ur knowledge. Nigeria is a country where people place high value on education gotten outside even if it is from neighbouring Benin Republic.

Tell me... how many people can boast of the school they went to in Nigeria? Maybe few? You and me? Anyway, anybody that wants a degree outside should go ahead... I believe that Nigeria will be better for it later when this set of people return back to the country

mba..
welcome back .. its ben a while...
well.. my cotribution is that.... its not a matter of when they return.. but IF they will eventaully return.
You leave the country in the first place because you cant dfevelop yourself in this environment.. For the same reason, you might not return.. coz u still dont have the right environment.
We have had this story of i go treturn ... many tmes over..
GOne are those days when u have to get to US to have a feel of what is like.Internet is really breaking the digital divide.. so why go there to get when u can actually draw things closer to Niaja from Naija..

me o.. i no go run from my shadows ( naija..) i go face am squarely NOW , and i know posterity might one day smile on me!!
Am i thinking downside UP?
Gb!

hmm Gb. Your true feeling on the issue is finally come out.

To come back or not is a personal issue and ppl will always have their reasons. It is true that for some people it is because they couldn't cope in the first place, but even that itself is a personal thing. We all chose different battles but then there isn't anything wrong with the "running from your shadow" thing. If a place or thing is more favourable, then go there. There isn't any point in solving an equation a difficult way when an easier way would suffice. So, whether they wan come back or not is their own palava. There's only one thing we owe them i.e. Give information to make an informed decision(what this grooup is abt). Outside that anybody can hang himselves if he sees fit.
All in all, the bible says happy is he who doesn't condemn himself in what he approves. This means that you should be happy with the decisions you make.

hey bns,

yesoo..
everybody should try to stick to his/her opinion on open issues such as this, unless you see superior justification for change.

some people think Naija is too hard for any average person to stay.. whereas some new millionaires come to limelight everynow and then..
even some oyinbos sef no won comot again ( e.d. MTN former boss that was fired)
i gbadun your flows bns.

Everybody get reason for whatever he does... even armed robber sef get escuse.
ive really learnt to see things from other perspective here..
if i face GRE AW again, im sure ill make a 6 this time.
i have been outa Naija countable times and i know say better ways dey to do things..with less headache..with less hazzle...but rather than run to mountain.. ill rather pull the mountain to my side. ( i still jump in and outa naija when the need arises sha!!)

There is no right or wrong way to do some things.. whichever you choose...make the best of it.

Gb!
