Save money and write the GRE, IELTS, or TOEFL where applicable. I beg you.
It’s a sacrifice you may need to make, and there is no sacrifice too big for your dreams.
Doing this alone will force you to take your applications more seriously because you cannot spend over 250 or 300k to register for an exam and then not put your best effort into your applications.
I know some schools may waive these tests for you, but to increase your chances, if you have the means, just write them.
Have you ever wondered why the Michael Taiwo Scholarship always selects the best of the best among thousands of applicants but still ensures that every awardee writes the GRE, TOEFL, or IELTS?
Scholarships are very competitive so you have to try all possible to make sure application stand out.
Wishing everyone all the best 🙏
