Hi all,I recently got a provisional admission to University of California, Riverside. It requests confidential financial statement, which is to state whether there is personal fund, private sponsor or sponsorship from a government, foundation, agency or other external source. The total required fee into the programme for the first year is estimated to be around US$30,498.50 and the estimated minimum living expenses (9 month academic year only) is like US$15,044.50. Does UCR send out a lot of admissions to applicants? What does this provisional admission mean? Will accepting it mean I will claim myself to be a self-financing student if I don't have sponsorship from external sources? Or, it is just a procedure that most applicants go through and more financing application opportunities will follow later (such as teaching assistant or research assistant at campus)?
please help me in this regard.
