求助，申请CSM的ME的Phd，结果今天收到邮件说转成non-thesis master

因为真的很喜欢这个学校，所以想和大家讨论一下第三段里提到的可以先读master， 然后自己找funding再转成thesis program的问题，大家觉得靠谱吗？

之前问小秘，说我申请的太晚了，24个financial aid全部发光了。。。抹泪
Dear xxx,

On behalf of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Colorado School of Mines, we are pleased to inform you that you will soon receive an acceptance letter from the Dean of the Graduate School, admitting you to the Master’s Non-Thesis program starting in the Fall 2017 semester.  Students in our Master’s Non-Thesis program benefit from stimulating instruction in biomechanics, robotics, thermal-fluid sciences and mechanics of materials.  Graduates enjoy high starting salaries in diverse industries with short times to graduation.

Your application indicates that you applied for admission to one of our thesis-based programs (MS-Thesis or PhD). This year’s applicant pool was especially qualified and competitive and we were unable to accept everyone to a thesis based program (MS-Thesis or PhD), as there are simply more applicants than thesis projects and funding available. Your application was impressive and we hope you will consider Non-Thesis program, where research opportunities can be available in the form of independent studies and hourly paid positions in research labs.  We encourage you to engage with faculty directly to find these opportunities once you’ve begun your studies.

Again, we are impressed with the credentials and accomplishments provided in your graduate application and we hope you will decide to enroll in our Non-Thesis Master’s Degree Program. If during your studies, you acquire funding via a Teaching Assistantship, Research Assistantship, or external fellowship, you will be able to transition to a thesis-based program.

We also invite you to our upcoming Graduate Student Visitation Days on March 16th and March 17th.  We are happy to provide up to $300 in reimbursement to support your out-of-town travel and accommodations in Colorado.  During this event, you will learn more about our Mechanical Engineering Graduate Programs, meet with faculty and students, and explore much of what Colorado School of Mines has to offer. Additional details will be sent in a follow-up email.

Congratulations on your admission to our graduate program!

不好意思，是CSM，科罗拉多矿大。 因为真的很喜欢这个学校，所以很犹豫。 请问您知道谁有类似的经历吗

之前一个学生去了科罗拉多矿业的mining engineering，录的non-thesis master，过去的第二个学期就联系到教授，给教授打工，教授还给申请免了学费，给他开了工资，最后硕士读下来只花了第一学期的钱，18w左右。学生申请时T87

我不确定是不是所有学校都能转，但是我知道有些学校是可以在硕士第一学年转博士的，是去了之后自己联系导师 ...

谢谢你的回复！我今天去参加了graduate student visit day，找了一位相同领域的教授聊了三小时（之前有套过瓷），他已经答应给RA了，我现在在等正式邮件，希望能成功！

谢谢您的回答，很有帮助! 但是读了硕士一学期可以转为博士吗？因为我本来是想申请phd的.

可以的，也是找老师，你去了学校就可以现场套了。近水楼台先得月。教授同意之后会给你推荐到录取委员会，博士的前两年也是修课程为主

确实是可以这样的。如果你条件够申CMU博士，因为申请迟了才拿的master录取，将来拿funding转PhD可能性应该还是很大的

谢谢您，请问您还有那位学生的联系方式吗，如果有方不方便提供？ 我想了解一下那个学校的情况。

楼主打算去吗？我也是录的csm 17fall civil的。去的话给个联系方式呗

已经进北京国家单位工作，联系方式不方便提供。这个学校就是矿业类专业特别牛，计算机就不清楚了，但肯定不是最牛的

你也是去读phd吗？不好意思，我目前还没有确定，但一旦确定了我会联系你
