Anyone going to GWU admitted student day (3/23)?
I emailed about funding and received this response (paraphrased):
No guaranteed funding for admitted students
Most PhD students work full- or part-time to pay for coursework. If you're a researcher/worker at GWU, you don't get tuition remission until after 6 months of employment
I knew the funding situation when applying, but I was hoping for full tuition remission anyway. I'm worried that if I do accept the offer, I won't be able to find a job that'll make enough to pay for tuition. It's also another level of stress I don't want to deal with while I'm in school. I 100000% DO NOT WANT TO TAKE OUT A LOAN!!
2nd q: anyone else in the same boat?! If so, what are you leaning towards (e.g., accept and take the risk or declining)? Sorry if this was asked before - I checked the 5 most recent pages.
