Notes
To the poster asking about UMD Mechanical Engineering admissions. I haven't been assigned a PhD guide yet and had not contacted the faculty before admission. I received the admission acceptance without any interview as well. To the Grad Cafe community: I haven't received any word on funding yet. On contacting the department, the coordinator replied that the department is not offering me any funding at this time and I was admitted as a self support candidate. I may choose to independently seek out funding sources for my admission. What does this mean and how common is this for PhD applications? Is it advisable to attend without financial assistance? Is a PhD possible without any funding from the university?
