keketest Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hi, there. I was admitted, and no emails arrive. Only the website said "congraulations, you've been admitted". I was recommended by a full professor at CS@Rutgers, and I think his words really influence the committee. Though the website showed the admission 4 days ago, no emails come. So I keep worrying, will they offer financial aid to all PhD students? Anyone got TA or RA? Thank you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keketest Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 I've just got TA offer. Hey, thank you edvolkov. I also got TA offer. I think I'll accept this offer, will you? If so, we might be classmates : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edvolkov Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I have to think about it - I also have offers from Purdue and SUNY SB. Thus, it would be quite difficult to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello edvolkov, As far as I know your major is computer security which is also mine. Did you contact professors at Purdue before getting admission? I've had offers from Rutgers and Suny SB too, but still heard nothing from Purdue. Do you know whether Purdue's given out all admission? Thank you.

Thank you. No I hadn't contacted professors at Purdue and I don't know if they given out all admissions. If you are international applicant, don't rely on Purdue too much since their funding situation is very bad. If you have less then 27 points on TOEFL speaking then you cannot get TA, and RA is given very rare for the incoming students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I am an International student but I am self-funded. Do you think Purdue is strongest among three schools you've admission in the field of computer security? which school do you prefer at this time?

edvolkov Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) Yes, Purdue is the strongest since they have CERIAS. I think their university is second-strongest in this field after CMU. If I find any support in Purdue, I'll definitely accept their offer. Edited March 10, 2011 by edvolkov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
