求问套瓷导师这样回复还有希望吗

想去麦吉尔的芮UID: 3794771

套了多大化工的一个老师，他的方向我很喜欢，没有funding我也愿意去，但是多大好像研究性必须有funding才可以读。求问大家有没有自费去多大读研究型的情况呢？我这样还可以争取吗？
老师是这样回复的：
This is very kind - however U of T has rules on funding. I suggest that you write to the graduate coordinator, Professor XXX, and find out what can be done, in terms of financing. If you are admissible, we can discuss potential projects

谢谢大家！
