Got removed off the waitlist. Will accept. Happy!

I have hope despite feeling the rejection.

I feel the rejection will be my decision, but I'm still optimistic.

Reply to previous post. Yes, I have accepted the offer of admission. I am not sure. I don't have any better offers at hand. I know that the I20 amount is pretty low. But I did contact some of the PhD students at OSU. They said they get a funding to about 2000 USD per month.

One girl from one of my grad school visits said she was accepted to UCLA directly from a professor. They already had their visit weekend which apparently was completely unorganized. She said it was basically a self tour and no recruits had set schedule with any professors. Also apparently last year, people got accepted a day before the official deadlines for most schools. I sent out inquiry email but so far received no reply from the school.

Applied for PhD and got wait listed. Then got admission for masters.

Was in wait list

It just said graduate application denied. Hoping to hear from the rest of the other three schools I applied to. Hoping for the best. A little disappointed, but I got to move forward.

To the reply to the original OSU post, since you have info about what is on the I20, have you accepted their offer? If yes, I want opinions on whether I should accept it as well without the funding letter? Will they give funding eventually? Also, $16500 for 9 months is way less as compared to other universities. Any advice will be helpful. Thanks a lot.

Emailed to learn status of application. Got reply stating they have already made all PhD offers for Fall 2018 and if you have not heard back yet, they are probably considering you for their Professional MS program.

To the post below. I got an admit on 31st Jan. I still haven't received any update on the financial information. I mailed the graduate coordinator and also got the same response as yours. But on the I20, it mentions an amount of approx 16500 USD for 9 months as funding in addition to the tuition waiver. But I haven't received any official email detailing stipend and other health benefits.

I got accepted a month or so back but haven't received an offer letter yet. Mails to the department coordinator yield replies like 'we don't have any financial information yet.' Any other people with the same problem? Will they give funding eventually? The deadline to accept is 15th April.
