ridgey Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 A couple of weeks ago I got an email from the department I applied to saying I was on a short list, there is limited funding, and do I have external funding. I assumed at the time that the same email went to all the people they were seriously considering. On the results page today, someone (from a different department) mentions that the reason they were rejected was because their department had no funding for international students. Just wondering if anyone has heard any rumours - maybe schoolwide there is no money for internationals? I know it's near impossible to get into the UC system for that reason, but I had never heard of it being a problem for Texas. Anyone know anything?

Scoobydoobyray Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I got an email yesterday from UCLA telling me how much they loved my application and my interview and also to clarify if I was International (which I am) and that I should know that out of state tuition costs would be higher and the extra costs would not be covered by Teaching Assistant prositions. I replied that I was aware and seeking alternate funding. Haven't heard back yet and am panicking that they might dismiss my application because of financial need even if they seemed to want me....

peppermint.beatnik Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 UT Austin is a state school, right? It's more difficult for them to come up with the money to fund internationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
