tipmar Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Can anyone comment on the funding situation at UCSD? Are people normally offered 5 years of funding? Their website indicates that international applicants may be offered less funding than USA citizens. Any experience with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meo03 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Question for the group: is this waiting process more akin to Kremlinology or guessing the results of a papal conclave? betwixt&between, L13, alain and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing from POI, not rejected, not accepted, not waitlisted, silence...was actually looking forward to getting rejected when I saw the rejections up on the board because at least I would have an answer. I haven't heard anything from NYU either-- mysterious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither, though I already know from a POI that I was rejected. I'm wondering if this could have something to do with being offered/ recommended for an MA.

The info I have from another department (so make of that what you will) is that internationals are prohibitively expensive, so if they can afford you in the first place it gets tricky for anything really substantial. That might not help at all, but a harsh reality. tipmar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything for sure, but it seems that $17k - $21k is the base offer for UC schools. Looking at the funding page of their site, it looks the amount of money/time just depends on how badly they want you (http://history.ucsd.edu/graduate/financial.html). tipmar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know internationals are significantly more expensive for state schools but almost all schools I've applied to claim to not take that as a consideration. UCSD is the only exception - I guess its good that they are straightforward about it I'll be lowering expectations. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that a few folks have been interviewed, and one was rejected for the PhD. and referred to an MA program. It doesn't seem to me to be in great enough numbers to suggest that these have been systematic responses by the department--anyone want to chime in?

My folks admit around 6 students per year afaik, but of that only 1-2 international. So... not a consideration, but actually a consideration.

And you're right; Columbia seems to be very consistent with sending out acceptances in the second week of February. Eek. Good luck! What is your focus?

stillalivetui Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) I'm surprised Chicago and Columbia haven't sent out notifications yet.

They seem to send their rejections really late though, so it's hard to know. I wonder when their recruitment weekend is. I imagine if you dont get an invite before then, it's over. Yup, they are. Prospective Student Weekend is next week. I suppose any admissions from here on will be off the waitlist. Word on the grapevine is that some of the joint programs have not finalized their decisions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
