deptbios Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I applied biostatistics phd at UW-Madison. and I just recieved official letter from UW-Madison. But, they indicated the admission without any funding... is it possible?? As we all know, application in UW biostat is managed by department of statistics. Should I ask the department of biostatistics about funding? UW-Madison is the top university I want... Could you help me as an advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsHypatia Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Unfortunately, it is possible. If you look at the results search the past couple of years, a few people posted that their admission to UW Madison was without funding. In my opinion, this seems to be a recurring theme. Did the email state outright that you will not be funded? Or was funding simply not mentioned? abstract_art 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisquare Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) If you check the admission profile for UW-Madison's stat department, you will find that for the past few years there were around 250 applicants. They admitted about 80 each year, while only less than a quarter of them will enroll. https://www.gradsch.wisc.edu/webextras/education/academicprograms/profiles/949PHD.pdf So I guess it is quite common for them to send offers without funding?
