I just received my letter saying that I got PGS D! I am just wondering if I can take this on top of my stipend? On NSERC webpage, under the other source of income, it says "You may not concurrently hold another award from NSERC or from another Canadian federal granting agency (CIHR or SSHRC). You may, however, accept awards from other sources, regardless of value (e.g., foreign sources, provincial awards, private organizations or your university)." I go to school in US, does this mean I can take this NSERC ontop of my stipend? Btw, my stipend is more than the NSERC funding per year..

the school that I am/was going to attend has been saying the decisions regarding financial support is pending. but they just notified me that I didn't get any support, (tuition, stipend etc) So what are my options? Should I contact the profs and tell them I am interested in working with them and ask for RA ship? what is the best way of asking this in email? If they give me RA ship, would they pay my tuition and give me some stipend? or am I in dream land.. I can't go thru phD without any funding...

i still dont know if I am getting funded or not.. what should I expect?

At this time, all decisions concerning financial offers are still pending. However, you are advised to contact individual faculty members whose work you are interested in, and explore a possibility of a research assistantship (RA) with them (For a list of faculty and their research interests, see the Materials Science Program website: http://____.edu) Exceptional students also have an opportunity to obtain a RA after the first year of graduate studies… Additionally, there are a few Teaching Assistantships available on a competitive basis, especially after the first year of graduate studies at ____ What does this mean? Does this mean most likely I won't get a funding in 1st year of Graduate Study ? and i have to find profs now to get Ra for 2nd year~graduate?

I still haven't received any results from UPenn or Georgia Tech... I will have to accept my offer at UCSD!!

got rejected from berkeley..dream school upenn and g-tech left

oh no... that sucks I guess that means my rejection will soon come too did ur email tell u to check the updated status from the website?

Upenn//not even waiting list? god.. i wish they accept ppl after 15th even,,, are you the one who posted on the survey?

So you got BU? congrats if thats the case! yeah i am not sure what is happening. I will take Berkeley or upenn over UCSD in a heartbeat did you guys see the survey posted about upenn? I hope that's not true

emailed both of them on thursday....haven't heard back.. maybe u should call them! i have final exam to write in 1 hour T_T

Hey guys I have been accepted from one school but still haven't heard back from 3 others. The one school i got accepted from said the funding info is still pending. Should I ask them when I would get the funding info? also, do you think i can get an extention on making decision? Because they wanted me to make the decision by 15th. But I feel like I might be waitlisted :S:S Thanks for all the input!

i emailed berkeley and upenn last night they haven't replied me back yet

whats really happening with Berkeley? should i email or call them? and other two places that i havent heard back yet? (upenn & georgia tech)

I was wondering if anyone can tell me the rank for UCSD for Materials science and Engineering department! Thanks!!

I would love to help u out but i am not in any better position. FOr UCSD did you get the funding info yet? I asked them and it is still pending...
