Hi guys, Am 30 percent down in Amazon, should i cut my loss or wait. Is it likely to get worse?

Hello, this is my first post on this group. I know a little on stocks.

Just an advice for the future, you should place a stop loss on stocks you buy.
It saves you from losing so much.
I lost about 30 % too, early this year and wished I had learned to use that feature.

Thanks for your comment. My ultimate goal is to get a phd, however I have been thinking Phd would be very competitive. Therefore, I may settle for Msc. I meet the minimum for all schools I am applying to (both Msc and Phd). I am just worried about my papers not being published in journal yet (though they has been submitted) because I understand schools are more concerned with applicants research experience now...

Also, do you have a script for appealing for application fee waiver?

Just to add, I don't think you should limit yourself based on your thoughts on how competitive PhD applications are. PhD students are mostly known to receive more fully funded offers than Master's degrees. If you're sure about committing to a PhD, then go for it. You could also look at programs which allow their students receive a Master's degree after a few semesters of their PhD program.
But like it's been rightly said, you should reach out to professors.

Hello guys. I just wrote GRE today. I got 311 (Q153 and V158). Any suggestions on schools that can give me funding for MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering (concentration in Power and Energy Systems)?
My undergraduate CGPA is 4.32/5.0
Thanks in anticipation

Congrats.

You'll have to do most of the researching yourself by searching for professors with similar research interests on the websites of their grad school program. You could simply Google search "US professors + your research interest".
Also you could current research students of these profs (you might also find this on the program's website) via platforms like LinkedIn to know if there are available positions in their labs.

Wishing you the best.

Good afternoon Bro, i want to apply for MSC Geology or Civil Engineering in the USA, i already have a sponsor for the program, do i still need to rite GRE so as to gain ission? If Yes thanks in advance.. If No, please can you suggest schools i can apply to that don't need GRE at all.

It's great that you have a sponsor. As per your first question: it would depend on the school you're applying to. I know from the past that writing these standardized exams gives the applicant some advantage especially regarding funding (would help reduce the cost for your sponsor).

Regarding your second request: the best person to research schools for you would be you, because you know what you're most interested. My advice is to search for profs with similar research interests on the different programs' websites. You could start by searching "US professors with ...... research" on search engines and/or even checking out authors of publications of interest and their personal websites.

Good day to you all, I intend to apply for fall 2022, I don't have my transcript yet but I've applied for it, and I want to start practicing for GRE and TOEFL,
Is it advisable to carry on with my decision to process my application or is it late already?

I don't think you're not late. Many Fall 2022 applications would begin next month and end in December (for funding consideration). Prepping for GRE and TOEFL could average 4 months. You've just got a tight window, but it's possible.

Please when is the best time to write the GRE for Fall 2022 applicants that needs funding?

Before the deadline for funding consideration, which is mostly in December.
But it's advisable to write it much earlier to allow you have ample time to rewrite it if you think it's necessary.

Yes, that's very possible.

But I would advice that you check your intended program's website to know their requirements.

Hello,

This is my first time of posting here. I'm interested in PhD program in US and plan to write my GRE/TOEFL by July or August for the Spring/Fall ission circle.
Below is my brief profile:

BSc Industrial Physics - 4.07/5.00
MSc Geophysics - 4.0/5.0
HND Mech Eng - 3.63/4.00
ND Mech Eng - 3.68/4.00
Currently, I work as an assistant Lecturer in a University here in Naija.

Programs of interest:
PhD Physics (Soft Matter or Nuclear)
PhD Nuclear Engineering
PhD Mechanical Engineering

Here are my grey area of concern:
1. Is there need for me to write another GRE Physics subject after writing the GRE General paper?
2. Do I need to convert my transcripts to WES?
3. What option(s) (Physics or Engineering) is best for me at this point for easier ission? I'm interested in both disciplines; so anyone can serve base on advice.
4. If there's any possible GRE prep group I can possibly , please kindly add me to it to ease my preparation.
5. Do I need to apply for another Masters or straight PhD if I choose the Engineering field?
5. My email - [email protected]

Thank you very much as you advise appropriately.


Hi Dpsi,

The answers to the first two questions would depend on the ission requirements of the school and program you are applying to. You should find this info on their websites or by ing the graduate coordinator.
Not sure I can help with the other questions.

I wish you the best!

Hi Everyone, hope you are all doing good? I know i haven't posted in like ages. Thing is i may not be the most informed person with regards to the GRE anymore. I graduated over 3years ago, got married and i have two kids now. grin grin Time flies like a rocket. I just did an update to the main post on the first page to show the changes that i have observed. If you have suggestions that you would like me to add, feel free to tag me and i'll make the update accordingly.

While i may not be at the fore front of the GRE, i've lived in the US for 5years now and would be happy to answer questions related to life in the US. I do not make any guarantees on responding in a timely manner (my kids take all my time) but i would try my best to answer your questions.

Stay blessed.
Danja.

Appreciate it, boss. It's really good seeing your post, and knowing you're doing really well!

Hi guys, please my GRE exam is slated for Friday. My question is that when sending scores to the 4 schools do I need to have started the application process already with the 4 schools, like have my own application portal?
Reason I'm asking is how will the school know its my score if I don't have a profile with them?

You don't have to start your application process with these schools.
Your personal details would be on the score sheet when submitted, so the issions/graduate school office would be able to sort this out when it's time for reviews.

You might already know this, but you may need to have their GRE score submission codes in hand on the day of your exam. Those should be on their websites.

I wish you the best!!

Shalock, I'm a fall 2021 graduate student hopeful at OSU although their decision is still pending. I was just given a student ID this morning. Please what does it implies

It seems you've been itted. That's the only reason why I feel you'll receive a student ID. You should check your application status for an ission letter. If you've been itted, you should reach out to the grad coord regarding their timeline for funding decisions ( details on the application portal).

Hello Brother, I have a cousin with a BSC in Chemistry, and I want to encourage him to tow this schooling in US path, preferably for a PhD. I wonder if I could ask him to get in touch with you? Perhaps you might have an advice or 2 for him, (you being an expert in the field).
Apologies, I just realized your field isn't chemistry. All the same, with your kind permission, I would ask him to get in touch, seeing as you have successfully secured not just ission but also funding.
I actually got the post from LinkedIn, but yeah he can reach out to me.
