Hi everyone,
I am also sailing in the same boat. I applied to around 12 schools and at last, received an acceptance from UB but my problem is that I have been offered a PhD admission as a self-funded student. I'm an international student and don't know if the PhD acceptance rate is poor only for the international students or is it for everyone. I'm really keen on joining the doctorate and do not want to lose this opportunity because there is no guarantee of a sure-shot admission even if I apply for the Fall of 2010. Do you think I might get any funding after a semester or two?
