mayday

Yes. I received a tuition fellowship and was on the waiting list for graduate center fellowship.

I am sorry for the confusion. Thanks again for your input.

Thanks, moneyandcredit. First reply to my first post :) I have not yet heard from CUNY after the interview. I put it in the poll because I will consider it only if it offers me funding. Do you know anything about other schools? What about UC Riverside?

Hello everyone, About my options: UC Riverside(full funded), Rutgers(unfunded), Stony Brook(unfunded), North Carolina State(wait list for funding, chance is small), CUNY(interviewed last week, will probably get a decision next week). About me: I am not really interested in academic jobs, which are pretty difficult to get. Instead, I would like to go to private sector and government agencies. Also, I do not have a strong interest in a particular field. Can you guys give me some advice? If I go unfunded, I will apply for student loan for the first year. However, chances are big for the following years to get funding as long as I pass the qualifying exams. This is my first post. Thanks.
