imbroglio

I received an email on Feb 3 about the program having a visit day on Mar 6.

I'm preparing for the GRE using Kaplan's Premier 2014 book. The Analytical Writing sections refer to "Kaplan's essay templates", but I haven't found those templates anywhere in the book (or online). I'm sure there's nothing fancy about the Kaplan templates - the standard five-paragraph structure - but it's irritating me that I can't find them. Can anyone point me to their location? Did I miss them in the book?

I'm planning to apply to MS programs in aerospace engineering, but I have a BS in computer science. I assume I will have to take some undergraduate ME/AE courses in my first year (and may require more than two years to complete the program). Does this mean that I'm unlikely to receive any funding for the first year (or as long as I'm taking remedial coursework)? If I have very little chance of funding regardless of where I go, I'll try to start this fall at the mediocre state university where I can pay in-state tuition. If there's a decent chance of funding, I'll consider applying to the nationwide schools where I really want to go this fall/winter, to start in fall 2015.
