刚收到的email (奇怪,为什么好多学校喜欢晚上发信?), Ph.D. economics 的admission. 第一年没钱,While we regret that we are unable to offer you financial support for your first year of study, we can provide support in the three years of study following the first year, if you maintain satisfactory progress as explained in the attachment, “Conditions for support for incoming graduate students.” This support is in the form of teaching assistantships, which include tuition waivers and health benefits. 即高兴又郁闷,学费一年两万多刀,第一年还要紧张兮兮的学习,为了以后的奖学金。
