I took the GRE today, and I was not impressed with my scores but I don't think I will retake it. I had 302- 155Q 147V.

Any ideas of schools I can shoot for PhD in Electrical Engineering with this score? Suggestions will be appreciated.

If you can, please retake it.

But I don’t think your score is bad especially the Quant session which is what counts for Engineering. If you’ve written any English test, that’s better. Make sure you apply broadly to at least 7schools.

Thanks boss, but I don't think I can retake it. I plan on taking TOEFL or IELTS next month. I haven't decided on which to take yet, but I'll certainly take an English language test.

Do you have a list of Universities you are hoping to apply to? Check their admission requirement. I believe TOEFL is easier but IELTS is more useful. I didn’t write any but I got into a few unfunded PhD. My regret is not applying broadly. Hopefully I get into a funded PhD soon. Good luck on your TOEFL/IELTS


Edit: I just noticed you have a Masters degree, I don’t think you have any issues at all. I’m sure you’d get into most if not all Programs you apply to if your cGPA is great.

Yeah, I have some schools in mind. My score has also eliminated a school, I would have loved to apply to, University of Kentucky, their GRE requirement for PhD in EE is 310.

Wishing you the best too in your search for a fully funded PhD.

Thank you sir.

Check out the University of Colorado Boulder. Their PhD in Electrical university is fully funded.

Edit. Check out university of Michigan Dearborn and Ann Arbon. They both guaranteed full funding for admitted PhD students. Wanye state University also guarantees funding for admitted PhD students.

I would have applied to several ( at least 10) PhD programs spanning Mechanical, Industrial, Biomedical and Material science Engineering instead of just 2 programs.

Looking back, I would have stuck with Mechanical Engineering since my undergraduate degree is in Mechanical Engineering as most Industrial Engineering program (which I applied to) are usually not funded or have very little funding compared to Mech/EE/Civil/Comps etc.

But the fear of Studying something I struggled with during undergrad coupled with my love for management sciences endeared me to industrial engineering.

This is an inquiry. Is the Intl passport the only means of Identification that is required for GRE registration?

International Passport is not required during GRE registration. Check ets.org/gre to clear your doubts

On the ETS website, it is stated that the accepted ID for test takers in Nigeria is a valid international passport. If you can, try to get one.

Boulder is very competitive with that GRE...last time you need a Q of about 162+ and total of 315+ to be competitive for the EE PhD

Ok. Thanks . I had V: 161 and Q:168 so I didn’t take note of their GRE requirement.

Are you saying Boulder EE is a very competitive program? I’m hoping to enter the program from mechanical Engineering without a Masters degree. I already emailed the graduate coordinator and they said they accept people from mechanical Engineering into the PhD in EE. Please help clarify.

I am not in a position to know that but if the graduate coordinator says so then it is right

If it is very competitive like you say, I’d rather save the application fee and apply to other programs.

Generally speaking direct fully funded PhD programs in STEM are always competitive and a lot of factors are considered like inclusion and diversity

So if the program really appeals to you, I will still encourage you to apply
