Dear Ada,

You know that your CGPA is not really strong. You don't even have work, research, and volunteering experience.

Yet, you are looking for TOEFL/GRE/IELTS waiver🙄

I heard you yesterday telling your sister that you have bought a traveling bag to the USA/Canada.

#GradSchool Tip of the Day: After submitting your app, you may get invited to interview with faculty. There may be as many as 4-6 different one-on-one meetings, which can be super intimidating! BUT remember that an interview is just a conversation. Tips ⬇️

Nigeria has ~15million households unconnected to the national electricity grid and this only deepens poverty. #EnergyTransition to renewables will increase access, reduce poverty and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Chasing your passion is a bad idea.

And it’s the best way to end in heartbreak IMO.

If you’re passionate about it so are other people. It’ll be competitive AF.

You’re more likely to make emotional (and bad) decisions.

Chase opportunity now and your passion later.
