Hello Everyone,
I applied for Phd in Civil engineering in USA.
I'm international student.
I attached with my application a formal letter stating that I'm full funded. ( tuition, monthly salary and health insurance)
I have a grad GPA 3.67.
honestly my file is not that impressive comparing to others profiles here.
I do not know if the external funding I have will help or not.
any idea guys?
I applied Jan 1, phd civil engineering. nothing heard so far. I applied to 7 schools. no one answer me so. I saw only one school starting making decisions.
I'm waiting a one result to see if I should apply to more schools.
I registered for the same question.
From what i read on internet.
Some said it does not help and some said it helps.
I think it will help.
If u look at those who got accepted, some mentioned that they did not get funding which means money is important.
If it does not help in this way it will help at least in another way.
Obtaining a external scholarship means that who funds u beleive u r good. Especially if it was university or recognized instituation
