- Notes
- I received the acceptance decision earlier this week. They asked me whether I have any external funding. After I emailed them regarding internal funding opportunities, Daniella Harper (the administrative director) recommended that I apply for external funding. I guess this is the British way of telling that "no funding for you, nor any other source of financial help." I guess very few people got the tuition fee waiver. The ESRC also rejected me. It seems like there are no decent external funding opportunities to apply to. The administrative director sent me a website of UCL regarding funding, but it is too complicated and there are no decent scholarships at all. I have lower top schools (with full funding) in Europe as my other options. Probably I'll end up at one of them. Still, this kind of acceptance hurt. Got a similar offer from UPF as well. It feels weird that schools actually ask you to pay them during your PhD. Too bad that they are the best two after LSE.
