I agree it would be very interesting to tie the different submissions to individuals, but it would be a PITA.
 
I think that thegradcafe could implement a submission system more orientated around collecting data, by linking to a profile, and also by standardizing things like name of school.
 
Then they could offer useful summary statistics themselves.

Hello some of you might be interested in this, I have scraped the admissions data for statistics phds/masters from the grad cafe. The csv file can be gotten here. The python code used to generate it is here.
 
The code could be easily modified to get biostatistics, or math, or any other subject, data too.
 
The most annoying part is that schools have many names given for them, I have collected a list of synonyms, but in the future, if you run the code again, no doubt new cases will arise, and you will have to add these to the list in the code.
 
If you run the code, it will take about 3 minutes to finish. This is because I have added delays between sending requests to the grad cafe for pages in order not to annoy them.
 
In the code I have added a couple of plotting functions the most basic tasks.

 
Things that could be added
I have only collected records that are accepted/rejected, could add wait listed and interview as results. Could add data about schools from the usa today rankings or NRC. Standardising gre data/ from 160 to 900 scale, also people report as percentages, esp for subject gre. I hope those of you who are data-curious will find some interesting things out and share them with us.

Hi I am in the same boat as you. Some offers I received state that funding is guaranteed for 5 years and so if you have one like that then there should be no problem. Some offers I have guarantee funding for the first year and say that they expect to continue to fund all students that make satisfactory progress.
 
In this case when giving the evidence of financial support, I think, if the university is friendly to J1 visas they will extrapolate their offer of first year funding for the purposes of demonstrating financial support for the duration.
 
Some universities are perhaps not so J1 friendly, so you need to contact them as you have done to find out the deal.
 
I think the general idea is that as long as the university vouches for you, you shouldn't have any problems. Good luck to you, I hope someone more knowledge can chip in.
