Yale SEAS

[drunk]

Yale sent a few acceptances today.. But, nothing was mentioned about financial aid in my offer. What about others ?

Hey man, glad to hear you got accepted. I was also accepted today without mention of funding. It's a small department, so I don't think they're going to let us go unfunded.

Any idea when further decisions are going out?

I've heard unofficially (from a prof in the CEE dept.) that the standard deal in SEAS is 29k/yr. The first year is a fellowship, with limited labwork, and after than an RA for the same amount. Usually 4-5 years is guaranteed. Offer letters should come by snail mail this week or early next, and have funding numbers in them.

Anymore news from the EE department?

Saw quite a few acceptances on the 22nd and 23rd. Is that all, or are they sending out a 2nd wave of acceptance?

Anyone with any info. on this?

I was admitted into EE. I think it might be a good idea to call up the department and ask if you your status doesnot change until march.

Does everyone admitted receive the same fellowship/aid ?

Does everyone admitted receive the same fellowship/aid ?

Update: My official papers came this weekend. The funding amount is $29,550/yr for 5 years. The first year is covered by university fellowship, and then an RA after that. I'm expected to TA at least once, usually during the second year.

i received the official letter today. The small size of the envelope made it look like a rejection letter. When I opened it, I came to know that in addition to the usual fellowship, I was offered the shiefield fellowship, which makes my total stipend 32,050$ for the first year
