Sorry for taking some time for the answer.
I have checked the status. The paperworks seem to be moving fine. The final announcement will be made before the end of December.
The reason it took some time to answer to you is that I wanted to confirm my budget to make sure I can accept you. The final result for my application to a new grant was only announced today. Unfortunately, I failed to get it. The competition for grants is extremely keen these days. I will still have to try to secure more fuding to support you. Since you will be starting next March there still is a time. Let's see how things develop.
哎呀呀,面试时那个教授明明信誓旦旦地说 I say OK, the UST will say OK, 我还以为稳了呢,现在怎么又不OK了,悲催呀,只好赶快复习考研了:mad:
