UCONN Phd

[azure]

Hi all,

I've been accepted by UCONN's PhD program. It seems that my research interest perfectly matches my prospective advisor's, and I also like UCONN's campus and environment wholeheartedly. Anyway, I have a feeling that UCONN is the most perfect place for me.

However, the funding decision hasn't been rendered yet, which makes me feel uneasy because my financial situation won't allow me to be enrolled without full assistantship.

I want to ask UCONN phds here that, how many of you receive no funding or only partial funding from the department? I'll feel relieved if you tell me that full financial support is generally available to every incoming phds.

Thanks!

Hi, sorry I can't help you with your question. But I am also very interested in the program you've been accepted. Would you be kind enough to provide some of your background information? I don't have any idea what kind of qualification bar Uconn is looking for.

thanks!

I was curious if you have heard back about funding. Like you I have been admitted to the program and was placed on a 'waitlist' for funding. I am trying to gauge if anyone else in this situation has come off the waitlist.

I've heard no news yet.

And I actually have no idea that I'm on the waitilist for funding, since I haven't heard anyone claim they are granted funding yet.

So would you like to let me know more about the waitlist things?

I also havent heard yet. Since all my other acceptances came with a complete funding package right away, I assumed it was indeed a wait-list situation so I've pretty much crossed UConn off the list. If this approach applies to every PhD student they accepted I'm a little confused as to how they think most of our decision making processes work.

Has anyone here received funding from Uconn? Please claim, thank you!

UConn offered me admission with funding, but I will be accepting another offer. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Thanks GradHappy.

May I know your subfield? And is there any specification about the funding in your offer letter? Are they fellowship or TA, RA?

And have they told you the date of the campus visit for admitted students?
