Hi,
I have been admitted to the Materials Science Doctoral program at University of North Texas. I was offered full tuition waiver and RA/TA. I have applied to 9 other universities and haven't heard anything yet. Being an international student, financial aid is very important to me.
Universities applied:
1. Purdue
2. Iowa State
3. Univ of Florida
4. Washington University in St. Louis
5. Drexel University
6. University of Cincinnati
7. Colorado School of Mines.
Though i believe that the Materials Science Department at UNT is progressing rapidly, the University itself is ranked low but is an upcoming university as per US News Rankings. I am in a dilemma as to should i wait for Purdue etc. or go ahead with UNT.
My Profile is as follows
GRE : 630(V) +720(Q) , 4.0
TOEFL : 114/120 internet based
CGPA : 7.71/10.0
Publications: 1 , Acta Materialia
Conference Proceedings :2
Internships: 3
Can anyone provide info on these universities and the financial aid situation for Fall-2010.
Thanks.
