Hello everyone,

I was hoping to find someone who could answer a question for me regarding applying for IGERT and what it means for acceptance into the departmental PhD. Here is my scenario:

I applied to Columbia Civil Engineering PhD and have yet to hear back from them. Last week, however, I received an email from Columbia IGERT congratulating me that my application was being considered for IGERT funding and that I should write an additional application to them. I did of course, but was wondering if this meant that I was already accepted by the department.

If they congratulated me on being considered by IGERT, does this mean I was accepted into the school? Furthermore, if I was accepted, would the department hold off an giving me funding until my application to IGERT is put through?

I realize this question is quite niche, but I was hoping someone knowledgable might be able to help.

Thanks in advance,

S

It's impossible to say without knowledge of this exact IGERT program. For example, I was admitted to an IGERT program at a different university, but I was not informed that I was being considered for it before my official acceptance to the University itself, and both of the acceptances came together.

I am in the exact same situation as you are, but my major is in structural engineering. Have no idea if this fellowship application has been short-listed or every applicant received the same email.

I wish the departments didn't keep us in the dark. This application system does little to keep us in the loop.
