sririitk Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 We have been asked to contact the professors for funding (RAship and TAship). Is it a standard norm at UIUC Aero?? What are the chances of getting funding?? Should we mail multiple professors simultaneously or go one by one??
Jojhod Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Hey! Same situation here Actually, I was in the same case last year, but for the MS program. I was admitted, but none of my professors of interest had funding available... Finally, I went somewhere else. Yet, I believe that professors are more interested in PhD students than in MS students, so this might be good for us! Personally, I contacted only a few professors in a precise area (two or three). If none of them is interested in my profile, then maybe I will broaden my search. Anyway, good luck!
yangyan870915 Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Hi, I have the same stituation with you! Got an AD from AE department! And now, it is really difficult to find a professor to support me in funding. I also worry about this. If you have any good news, could you please share with me? Really thanks! And bless all of us!
Jojhod Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Hey! What are your areas of interest? In my case, I am trying to find a thesis advisor in applied aerodynamics...mmmh not easy... Anyway, good luck to you all!
IITug Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I am also trying to contact professors. None is replying. BTW i got MS non-thesis admit since i only applied for Master's degree in Aerospace.
Jojhod Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Apparently it's spring break at UIUC this week. Might explain a few things...
