Not sure going or not. Will consult about robotics area

Recommended for admission. Official letter will be received soon.

Undergraduate in mechanical engineering, variety of research experience, had external funding prior to applying.

Tuition for international is 20k and for domestic is 10k. if you were a professor in U of T, do you select an international?

I was contacted by prof that I need to apply funding/scholarship by myself from my home country. Seems that they dont have any extra funding? I am just wondering if I can switch to MEng program instead?

Does anyone have an idea of the chances being accepted after placed on a wait list?

To the poster below: I'm the guy who asked the question. Well, sounds kinda disappointing... but thanks for you information anyway :). Hope everyone waiting for the decision will get satisfactory results.

Guaranteed Assistanship

To the poster below: I know that GTech has admitted a number of US citizens quite a while ago, one of whom is a friend of mine. I think it's safe to assume that we are going to be rejected in April, given that they hardly admit international students.

Does any one what the hell UIUC is doin'?? it's almost the end of March and they barely have made any admission decisions. How are we supposed to find a funded position by April 15 if they give admissions so late?

Has any international PhD applicant received a mail for an interview or decision?

REEEEEEEJECTED!

To the person below, this is what I got after contacting the ME Academic Service Office: The main ways for Master’s students to get tuition support are through GSRAs (research assistant) and GSI (teaching assistant) positions. Both of these are typically something that Master’s students apply to engage in for their second term rather than first term, since in most cases in-person interviews will have to be conducted, and students don’t arrive on campus in time to be able to do those interviews for the Fall term. Also, for GSRA positions, many faculty will ask that the student do an independent research project (ME 590) with them during the Fall term, and if that goes well, they may fund them during the second term, but they won’t commit to funding them up front without knowing how the student will perform. On the positive side, if you do research with a professor and they decide after a term or two to support your admission to the Ph.D. program, at that point you will be given a full funding package that pays full tuition+stipend+benefits for 4 years. Unfortunately, education loans available at the University of Michigan are only available for U.S. citizens whether they are need-based or not. As an international student, you need to look for a financial resource back in your home country.

Applied for PhD, accepted for Masters/PhD. The mail says that we expect you to find a UM faculty member during your first year as a Master's student here who agrees to serve as your PhD adviser. Once we receive a mail from him, your degree will transition into fully funded PhD. Anybody know if it is at all practically possible to secure funding somehow to support myself through the first year? Would really appreciate the help. First decision out of 10. Fingers crossed.

Have heard back from all UC schools that I applied to except UCSD. UC citizen applying for master's with focus in energy. Anyone else with similar background waiting for response?
