sririitk Posted March 15, 2012 Share 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?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojhod Posted March 15, 2012 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yangyan870915 Posted March 17, 2012 Share 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!
