Hello everyone,
I was hoping to find someone who could answer a question for me regarding applying for IGERT and what it means for acceptance into the departmental PhD. Here is my scenario:
I applied to Columbia Civil Engineering PhD and have yet to hear back from them. Last week, however, I received an email from Columbia IGERT congratulating me that my application was being considered for IGERT funding and that I should write an additional application to them. I did of course, but was wondering if this meant that I was already accepted by the department.
If they congratulated me on being considered by IGERT, does this mean I was accepted into the school? Furthermore, if I was accepted, would the department hold off an giving me funding until my application to IGERT is put through?
I realize this question is quite niche, but I was hoping someone knowledgable might be able to help.
Thanks in advance,
S
