martizzle got a reaction from hellopsy in Anyone from Africa or better yet Nigeria coming to the U.S?
Hi all,
I am Martizzle (nickname, not real one lol, I just love the sound of it), is there anyone from Africa coming out here this year? If so, for what?
I am studying/trying to study Operations Research/Math (wherever I am blessed to be accepted). I don't have a MS degree yet, so I am applying for the MS leading to PhD degree.

martizzle got a reaction from dant.gwyrdd in Do you think Adcoms Read This Stuff?
Yeah, I doubt any ad com would be able to know who we are unless we tell them...but just in the event that ad coms know (virtually impossible) who we are: I just want to to say "Please accept me into your program. I am a hard worker; great at sucking up and being friendly; and fun to have around. Plus, I give excellent presentations (and tell even better jokes). Pick me!!! (feel free to PM me if you need/want me to suck up a bit).

So we all jumped through flaming hoops of hell fire to pave the way and make things less challenging for the next generation... yeah that makes me feel a whole lot better.

martizzle reacted to Aspiring Shrink in How do you feel when someone else posts that they got accepted into your first choice (top school or program)?
Firstly your post is really funny.
Secondly I hope you'll see my response being that you posted yesterday.
Lastly you have to handicap yourself, this year the sheer number of applicants lowers our individual odds considerably. I gave myself an honest assessment; my GPA is average, my GRE scores are OK, I have excellent letters of recommendation, substantial research and an interesting life experience. Many schools won't even find out about the two years I volunteered in a Russian orphanage or the fact that I speak four languages or that I have rabbinical ordination, because my scores aren't perfect. I don't know many professors, which I believe is what gets people in (or at least noticed). But if you have a good GPA, GRE, LOR, and a good statement of purpose, you have a good chance of getting in somewhere.
To be honest I have worked with a professor for the last to years at a school that was my first choice, and it turned out that she wasn't taking on students this year and I didn't know the other professors and I got rejected, it sucks but I put too much energy into applications that I don't have any left to get worked up. At this point getting into any program that I applied to is a blessing.
Hope this ramble was helpful and the best of luck to you.
