系里的小秘休产假了,于是乎给直接给教授发邮件询问申请状态,得到的回复如下:
We are now reviewing all Ph.D applicants. The committee has not made decision yet for the short list. It is a process which takes many weeks, even months. We have about 10 TA positions this year, but the applicants are more than 100. It is a very competitive to obtain a TA positions. We can give you the admission if you do not require the assistantship.
