1. 收到WPI的phd的ad,信中说
If you are offered admission to graduate study at WPI and you have not received a financial assistantship, you will be sent an admission letter, a graduate admission response form, and an International Student Information Form. On the Form, you will be required to demonstrate no less than $34880 worth of funding for the academic year to cover tuition and living expense. If you plan to take summer courses, you should have additional money available. Once you return the completed information and admission response forms with a non-refundable tuition deposit of $500, you will be mailed an I-20, which you can use to apply for F-1 student visa in your home country..
