  1. Thanks, Calm Logic. I'll just keep hoping and praying that I get in.
  2. I was hoping to get into TAMU, petroleum engineering this fall but there was delay in sending my GRE scores.How easy is it for someone to be admitted for a master's degree in TAMU.

    I'm done... :)

    Congratulations!!!
  4. Hey Nita4u, I didn't look for any essay topics for the TOEFL, I only did for the GRE. I found them here in this site(on the archives) and some other sites I found through google. For the TOEFL, I only studied the book I talked about earlier. I'll try to answer your question satisfactorily when I get the information.
  5. I have discovered what the problem is. I found out that the agency that registered the GRE for me(I did not deal directly with ETS because the credit card payment option is not available in my country and I felt the other payment options would waste time) was still owing ETS. Therefore my result was withheld. I'll keep you posted when this problem is rectified, the result sent and when it eventually arrives.
  6. When I wrote the essays, they were typed. I wrote the GRE CBT without knowing there was a hand-written essay option. Well, I will do as you said.Thanks again, you have been of great help.
  7. Thank you very much. You were right. The school received my TOEFL scores just like you said. Unfortunately, even at this moment, they have not received my GRE scores and the department is currently reviewing applications. I am utterly disappointed in ETS. I cannot understand why the TOEFL scores are in while the scores of the GRE, an exam which I took earlier, are not, even after almost two months.
  8. I didnt have to prepare much since I come from a country(Nigeria) where English is the official language, which means that English has always been the language of instruction. So, I am quite proficient in the language, but since America thinks English is foreign to us, I had to take the test. At first, I didnt want to prepare at all but a friend convinced me to study the Barrons IBT book 2007 edition. In hindsight now, I think it paid off because it gave me a feel for what to expect on the test day and helped me improve in English as well.
  9. I took the GRE cat and TOEFL ibt tests on 6th and 8th February, 2008, respectively and I filled in the four schools that should receive my results. My questions are: would the results have reached the school by 1st march? How does ETS send the scores to the schools; electronically or through post office? I'm applying to Texas A&M University.
  10. I made 109 out of 120 on the TOEFL IBT. This is my first attempt and I dont think I will need to retake. I'm applying to texas A&M and they require a minimum of 80 on the IBT for international students. Here is the breakdown. Reading 28 Listening 29 Speaking 23 Writing 29 Total 109
  11. Great information. I will be taking GRE in a week but your post will be very useful. Thank you.
  12. I am also in the same dilemma. I have recently applied to Texas A&M University to study petroleum engineering and funding is very important to me as well. I want to know which of Teaching Assistantship, Graduate Assistantship, Research Assistantship and fellowship is more rewarding. Somebody, please enlighten us.
