THank you very much for replying. I shall be very grateful if you could please help in this regard. Ya, I have my another schools to look forward to but UIUC was my prime choice. What is the procedure for applying for TA? Should I contact a professor expressing my research interests?? For the past 2-3 years, seniors from my college have been securing admission with full aid at UIUC. (ie with RA). Will some prof contact me for RA as the initial mail says " Faculty members would contact you"?? Thanking you

I secured an admission into MS at UIUC. I received the mail yesterday morning. It said that "In the next several weeks, faculty members from the department may be contacting you to discuss their current and planned research and how it might be of interest to you. In addition, please feel free to contact any faculty, either directly or through the Academic Office." and that I shall we receiving more emails regarding the offer. Today I received another mail from them which stated this : "At this time, we are unable to provide any funding assistance. There may be a possibility to secure a teaching or research assistantship pending availability for this upcoming academic year. There are other units on campus that may be offering assistantships if you are looking for one. " I had filled up a CS Interest Form along with the application stating my preference of research areas that I wanted to work in and the professors I wanted to work with. I have a good cgpa and good research experience also. My toefl speaking score and overall TOEFL score is also quite good. I read from many places that MS at UIUC is always funded and as you people also mentioned that till now there is no history of any student not getting aid for MS. What should be my next step now???? The fees for attending MS is tooo much high. Waiting very eagerly for your replies.
