Nothing, limited competitive funding. Well, if you desire working in dinning as a graduate student then fine. That was why I threw myself here to enjoy the free schooling without much competition embarassed

hello gurus. I contacted a department an d I was told that they have started making admission decisions and said they give admission on a rolling basis.

My question: what does it mean to admit on rolling basis.


Thanks

i just found out the tuition fees for my degree (ms in MIS) at NIU has been increased to an extra 150dollars per credit hour.
Also tuition fees and general fees from now on would be grouped under one heading as tuition. this means anyone lucky to get tuition waiver wont pay anything extra.


Hi are presently at NIU( Northern illinois university)

Na wa for this Purdue ppl o. My advisor talk say there is no funding for what I was admitted for.

I actually got admission for Professional Master of Science in International Agribusiness (in Agricultural Economics). I later checked my admission letter and saw that it's a self-funded program and students there aren't eligible for tuition waivers and etc within the dept...imagine.

I still dey disturb the woman (advisor) that she should please look into my case and dat I can serve as her assistant in any capacity. grin

Also, for what I was admitted for...though my advisor said the students write papers, it's a non-thesis programme.
I just dey confuse now...wen me I don dey imagine how research go be like...and it isn't the best programme for someone dat wants to advance to PhD since the 'traditional' (na so dem cal am) Agricultural Economics programme where students write thesis, are funded etc. dey dia.

This is the last mail my advisor sent me:
"This degree is primarily for students who plan to work in the industry, especially multinational firms. Purdue’s own PHD program does not admit professional MS students. However, you are required to take  the same Microeconomic theory, Macroeconomic theory, Econometrics, Programming, courses together with research track (all funded) MS students. You can take any MS courses offered in our department. You don’t write a thesis, but write a none-thesis paper.  It is up to the students how good a research paper can be. I once advised a non-thesis international student who is now a PHD student in the US fully funded as an RA, partly because we turned her non-thesis paper into a journal publication, while most research track MS students do not have.    Please consider all carefully before you make this big decision involving a lot of $$.  We truly welcome you to our program but will understand whatever your decision."

Please, what do y'all think? Should I just focus on hopefully getting admission into the other schools I applied to? Thanks.


guy most non thesis programs are not funded. Many schools explicitly state that on their websites. You should have done your research very well bro. Put your hope on other programs you applied to.

If you're going for anything Engineering, get to know MATLAB at least, or even C programming. It'll help you a lot. You'll eventually have to run lots of simulations on MATLAB..
