I've been REJECTED after receiving the offer email from department coordinator in UCR at the end of march, I was shocked by the desperate news, the coordinator said the graduate division did not follow his recommendation, low GPA and just-over-acceptance GRE turns me down, I am being really pissed off, how school could do this to an me? Any similar case happened before?? is there anything I could do right now??

Thanks for your sincere comments, I have already eMailed this school that I wish to accept this offer, and the I-20 form is on the way, the thing is what if my dream school is willing to give my full funding, is it an unethical behavior if I declined it and accept my dream school's offer? Does it violate "415"?

Below is the response I received just now: "Amanda should be sending you a form letter from me today or tomorrow with more details on what "limited financial support" means. If I do not hear back from you, I shall go ahead and process your offer. You should receive the formal offer in about two weeks."

Thanks for the ppl up there commented on this post, though, I have Emailed them yesterday morning, mentioning to accept the offer with "limited finanical support", until now, more than 24 hours passed, no further response from UCR, whether they are waiting other applicants' response at the same time? I can't stay cool until they email me about the decision, have to be more patient~~~ Hope everyone on this forum getting their dream school offer~~

I just received an Email for PHD in Economics, please help me out, does it really mean an admission ? "I am happy to inform you that you are in our third group of international students. We are sending first-round offers of acceptance with full fellowship to the first group. The second group is on the first waiting list of international students. And your group is on the second waiting list for offers of acceptance with full fellowship. Unfortunately, because of the current budgetary situation in California, we have fewer full fellowships to offer this year than in previous years. As a result, even though we were very impressed by your application, it appears unlikely that we will be in a position to offer you acceptance with full fellowship. I can however make you an offer now with limited financial support. Unfortunately, the Graduate Division does not allow offers to be altered or renegotiated, so if you accept an offer with only limited support, there is no possibility of its later being upgraded to a full fellowship. An offer with limited financial support entails fees and non-resident tuition (NRT) for the first year, and NRT in the second year. Recently, we have been able to provide teaching assistantships to all Ph.D. students who have applied for one, including those who were accepted with limited financial support and with no support. I hope this situation continues, but the state budget situation creates considerable uncertainty. Please let me know if you would like to receive an offer of admission with limited financial support. If you do not respond, you will remain on the second waiting list. " I have never heard of "second group of waitinglist" before, does it mean if I accept the offer with limited financial support, I will be admitted immediately? And what does the "limited Financial Support" mean? Any reponse will be appreciated, thanks....
