Now that you've been invited for an interview with the admission committee,you're a step closer to securing your full funding

Reason: they invite those that rank high in their pool who can be admitted

Here's how you should prepare

Review everything you wrote in your statement of purpose

You should be able to give details about the research experience or work you claimed to have being involved with

If you mentioned your interest in working with any faculty member, review their works and be sure why you want to work with them. You may not know details

I observe in many SOPs I've reviewed that many find it difficult to answer the question

"Why are you interested in our school"

Many write in a general form

"... because your school have the top professors, facilities, etc."

That answer is not specific enough. Anyone can write that about any school

You want to write things specific about the school or department that got you interested

It may be research facilities/set up/methodologies unique to that department

It may also be the research works of a professor of interest or the research grants/funds

This is why this presidential election tribunal is very important, and BATists need to pay attention

However the case goes, the court will be setting a precedent, and the consequences for Nigeria will be significant

Follow me, don't tune off

It's either the court will say it is right or wrong for a drug trafficker to run for president. That will extend to all manner of criminal offenses too

It's either the court will say it's okay or not okay to commit perjury, and still get cleared

It's either the court will say it's fine or not for a candidate

On Assistantships

When applying to US schools, that is what you want to get.

It is technically the scholarship you're searching for

They come majorly in two forms (I've seen a 3rd form not so common)

They are Teaching Assistantship and Research Assistantship

Thread As a Teaching Assistant,you have a teaching responsibility which you must fulfill. Usually you teach undergraduate students, and/or grade their homeworks and exams. Your work is 20hrs per week on the max.

As a Research Assistant,you're fully devoted to research.More like you're

Program coordinator of Mathematics and Statistics Dept of University of Idaho reached out to me few days ago

I shared information about assistantships in their department recently and I was told many of you flooded them with enquiry emails (I guess it was too much for them)

The coordinator claimed the link I shared contained some inaccurate information, then gave me another link and requested that I help update my tweet with new link/delete

Going through the new link, it happens to still be the same department's website & navigating to assistantship

Police brutality will reduce if the officers know they'll be punished for their crimes

How do we know when they've committed crimes?

Provide them with body camera & for every encounter they must record. Let their be a punishment for not recording

Every complaints against them must be investigated. Citizens should have a way of making reports easily; making phone videos of officers breaking the law encouraged for documentation

Police officers should routinely take courses on human interactions and be subjected to drug and psychiatric tests; some of

How to spend minimum amount of money possible for University application process - Japa

Controlling your emotions during your visa interview is very important

One of the things that can throw you off balance is seeing many ahead of you get rejected

It can get worse if you happen to appear before the same VO that's been issuing the rejection

You may not help not looking at other people being interviewed, but you can control how you internalize whatever you hear and see so as to control your emotions

Tell yourself over & over again that you've done the right thing, prepared for the questions & you're getting the visa (of course prepare)

Here's how to change your course regardless of background & still secure funding for graduate school

You must have heard of those who received funding for data science without background in computer science

Or probably heard of those receiving funding in public health without a background in health sciences

Yes it's possible to switch and I'll be brief in my explanation

Apart from your desire for the new course, you must have proofs of your passion

Many who switched started learning something about this new course. Some took free online courses,

How to get your transcript from University of Ibadan in 1 day

Shepherd Series 4

Psalms 23:2b
....he leadeth me beside the still waters.

We have seen that the sheep is the responsibility of the shepherd, and he delights in the all-round wellbeing of the sheep.

Now David says "he leads me..."

The shepherd does not have a problem leading the sheep, He takes delight in leading them. Infact he is always doing it at every point in time.

What this implies is that the sheep does not lack the leadings of the shepherd and he has the ability to hear from the shepherd. The believer always has the leadings of the Spirit.

This is why I place emphasis on science when I advise against PhD in Nigeria

I believe it's feasible for those in arts and humanities to do something very good if they have a good supervisor

I believe they don't really need the sophisticated facilities needed by the sciences Asides from the wickedness in the heart of some lecturers, one reason why students spend 10 years etc is unavailability of resources to use

For example, my friend during our Msc program in UI had to send his sample to South Africa for analysis
