<p>Yea.. Internationals out there who's been accepted into grad programs.. do you guys get full financial support? </p>
<p>Did you guys do your undergrad in/outside US (which uni/college)? </p>
<p>How did you do during your undergrad- really really outstanding?</p>
<p>Where were you guys accepted (with funding)?</p>
<p>Well it depends on the program. From school itself most scholarships are open to all students. I applied for a PhD program in Computer Science and those are fully funded regardless of student status as American or International. Usually Masters programs don't offer any funding.</p>
<p>I did my undergrad in the US too at a 3rd tier college. I double majored and did the honors route, graduated with a 3.85.</p>
<p>I got accepted to SUNY Stonybrook and Polytechnic.</p>
<p>^ So you're fully funded?</p>
<p>I got half funding at UChicago and 2/3 funding at Georgetown for a master's program. In my field, work experience is extremely important but I didn't have any.</p>
<p>I did my undergrad in the US at a top 15 private school, double majored, and got a 3.8+ GPA.</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>Yeah. Full funding with stipend.</p>
<p>Fully funded at an ivy with same stuff as other students. Most of the top programmes in my field seem to pretty much guarantee full funding though</p>
<p>^do you mind giving more details?.. what program are you in?</p>
<p>I got into Brown and Johns Hopkins with 50% scholarships. Columbia and Harvard gave me nothing.</p>
<p>I am graduating from a Canadian University with a 3.8+ GPA.</p>
<p>I don't have any full time work experience which is usually encouraged of applicants in my field, but I have summer internship experience and lots of ecs under my belt (not that I think they made much of a difference)</p>
<p>It really depends on your field. If it's a professional masters chances of getting funded are low.</p>
<p>I am in Biology/Bioinformatics, and every program I applied to only accepted me if they had enough funding for me. I am graduating this year from a Canadian University with a 3.9+ GPA, 4 semesters research experience, no publications, 800Q/720V/5.5AW and 97% percentile on subject. I got accepted (and fully funded just like the domestic students) at Yale, WashU, Madison, Cambridge (UK), and Stanford.</p>
<p>International student admissions is especially hard in my field because most programs will not accept you if they don't have funding for you.</p>
<p>In my major (EE), it seems so damn hard to get funding for Masters...
So I applied to PhD and got some offers with full funding</p>
<p>l3monkid, even Cambridge gives full funding?..</p>
<p>I have full funding for my MA (transport, tuition, stipend, research $, book allowance) to a top ten uni from an outside source -- a fellowship from an international organisation. I did my undergrad in a Commonwealth country and did fairly well -- upper second class honours but only two marks off a First, and from the top university in the country. Lots of extracurriculars and work experience. A very, very clear trajectory through my studies and work over the last five years -- I think that this is really important. For fellowships and admissions, a strong 'story' seems crucial.</p>
<p>I'm going to Cornell for Sociology. My undergrad was at Cambridge, results were good (top of my year in second year for sociology). But got rejected from everywhere else in the states and think Cornell funding is same as everyone else who got in</p>
<p>well, i applied to a PhD at the Wellcome Trust institute...which guarantees full funding for 5 years. So technically Cambridge isn't paying for it (even though my degree would come from Cambridge). But while I was applying I saw tons of fellowship/scholarship opportunities from Cambridge as well...</p>
<p>Full funding with stipend.
M.A program in BGSU.</p>
