@twocosmicfish I am an international PhD student and will visit State College in mid-March. Thank you for the info. Can I ask a few more questions? What's the whether like in mid-March? And, what do you think is the best way to get to State College from New York?
I heard that UC schools engage in negotiations with admitted students on terms of financing. Not only them, I just wondered whether schools in general make adjustments on their initial offer of financing or negotiate with admitted students who have not decided to enroll.
As one of Duke applicants, I am getting more and more puzzled about my status.
I've got neither accepted nor rejected. Also, they have not put me on the wait-list. The website keeps saying 'No notifications'
How should I interpret this? One of the ad-com might have blown his/her nose with my SOP
Thank you for all the info here and I wanna ask yo guys about financing negotiation.
I received an offer with partial financing and the department administrator says 'I think you should try and negotiation' concerning financing.
The program is for now my top priority but I cannot accept their offer because of insufficient funding. What do you think I can do? I will visit the department in late March
and I told them the school is my first choice.
