Rutgers PhD media studies no funding accept or not

[Yvonne2]

The graduate school require a 5 year financial information. 1 year $42000 with bank statement, the other 4 years require sponsor and signature. It is really tough for me at present. I doubted I can finish without funding . No idea what to do.

I am wondering how much do I need to prepare for a visa? (the first year's financial statement or five year financial information?)

I shall appreciate it very much if anyone can give me any advices. Thanks!

I'm not sure I really understand, but it seems like you got accepted to a PhD program and are expected to pay the first years' tuition yourself (and likely the following 4+ years' too).

I definitely would not do this. The return on a PhD isn't enough to justify laying out six figure debt for.

Thanks for your reply. I am thinking of defering my entrance, wish to get funding next year.

And I am hesitating because I heard that Rutgers is easy to get in, difficult to get out(graduate). Usually will they give you a master degree if you quit in the middle, suppose one year later? Thanks!
