No, I am not. I still got nothing like most of you. Actually I posted those dates in order to say that UMich usually finish their decision (biostat master) in a LONG time range so it's no need to be too anxious now.

Sorry it's not in English...

I am not familiar with Vanderbilt. But for Michigan, I think they usually sent ad in a long time range. I have gathered the date of ad from UMich for Fall 17 in thegradcafe as well as a forum in my home country as follow. thegradcafe: 1.13, 1.16, 1.19, 1.25, 2.6, 2.7, 2.15, 3.10 another forum: 1.12, 1.19, 1.28, 2.1, 2.7, 2.10, 2.15, 2.16, 2.22 BTW, UMich has already sent some ad for Fall 18 before Christmas...

Thank you very much! I have emailed the department last week but haven't got the reply. I am sure that the supplemental form is a standard form for every applicant, but indeed I am an International student so I realize that my tuition would be more expensive and many Fellowship is unavailable for me. Probably I can only list "Department TAship or RAship" and "personal funds" in the end...Do you think this would be appropriate?

Thanks for Takeruk's answer! I am going to email the department for detail information.

Hi, I am applying to a PhD program and it requires a department supplemental form, which includes a part called "PLANS FOR SUPPORT". I supposed all PhD program would provide full funding for everyone who was admitted, so what does "PLANS FOR SUPPORT" mean? What should I fill in it? Could anyone give me some advice? Thank you!
