SSCCATAGAPP Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hello! I've been reading this forum for a while, and it's very helpful. I am applying to Ph.D. programs straight out of undergraduate (I am a senior). My GREs are 168V; 157Q; 4W. I am concerned about my Q and W because they are not extraordinary- mostly because I am not sure if Berkeley offers funding based on them. Does anyone know about their funding criteria?

trogdorburninator Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I would be surprised if it were anything bit the norm, which is to say that your GRE will be a part of the picture both for admission and for funding. Sometimes the gradate school (as opposed to the department) has more cut and dry requirements (3.0gpa, for ex) but I haven't seen any discussing GRE scores in this case.

smg Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I've been told that fellowships in the UC system are often tied to GRE scores. If I end up at one of the UCs I assume I will be TAing rather than receiving a fancy fellowship. My Quant was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSCCATAGAPP Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'm concerned. I can't really a place that fits me better than Berkeley, but even if they take me, it ultimately it comes to being able to live. I want food to be generous with me. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaultyPowers Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Does anyone know what the funding actually IS at Berkeley? Because I've applied there as well but I already live in Berkeley...and I have to move whether I get in anywhere or not! I'm paying over 2Gs for a one bedroom. So... yeah. You are correct to be concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duran0 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Funding at Berkeley is really variable. Could be potentially as low as 18K, though the multi-year fellowships (Chancellor's, for example) are 27.5K. A good number of students apply for extramural fellowships (NSF, Ford, etc) to supplement their income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
