I am from Romania! Nice meeting you too! And I will see you in the fall at RPI!

It does say "Immigration documents include, but are not limited to, passport id pages, I-94 card (both sides), visa stamp in passport, I-20 or DS-2019, and any documents relating to a change of status." But I don't think they care that much about the fact that the passport is expired. I think that they just want to make sure that we are not out of status. Where are you from?

I have received a letter from the admission office that they need copies of my present immigration status. Also in that letter it states that the school starts on the 31st of August and that new students have to come two weeks before it starts for orientation. And after that I received a DVD about the school. Nothing about duties or responsabilities so far from the department.

Congratulations!!! Yup! Mine was kind of the same. I got my letter on the 6th and had to be signed by the 7th. Haha

My letter about the funding was signed by Dr. Francis! In the e-mail that I got there were two letters, one with the funding from the department and one that I have been admitted from the office of gradaduate. My concentration is going to be strategy.

In the beginning I was in contact with Ms. Thompson too but at one point she didn't reply back to one of my e-mails and then I sent an e-mail to Dr. Francis. He responded very quickly too all my e-mails. I live 3 hours away from Troy so I acctually went to visit RPI and talked to him about the Program. He is very helpful and he did mentioned that they are a little behind with sending out the acceptance letters. I'm positive you have no reasons to worry!

I know it is very frustrating to wait. I was just like you. I couln't understand why it is taken so long. Did you talked to the PhD Program Director? That's what I did and the next day I had an e-mail with the official letter. The letter that is offering me financial aid is dated April 27th and I only received it on May 6th. Let me know how it goes!
