手机一震，又被降了，又是没奖，又去不了了，offer在哪里？

在这焦急等待offer的日子里，我又迎来了一个降MS录取，它来自University of Missouri，又是一个降MS录取，又是一个没奖录取，but我的offer在哪里啊？

We are pleased to accept you as a student in our new applied track master’s degree in
statistics for Fall 2012.

Unfortunately, due to the department’s limited resources for supporting international
students, we are unable to offer you financial assistance. If you decide to enroll in our
program, you must plan on paying the full cost of study here. The current estimate from
the graduate school for this cost is $31,123 per year. (This is the amount you must
guarantee to get a visa.) However, our students claim that this estimate is too high. More
specifically, the current tuition for graduate courses is $869 per credit hour, other fees
add up about $490 per semester, and health insurance is $700 per semester. Our students
report that they spend about $650 per month on room and meals (sharing a two bedroom
apartment with another student and cooking for themselves). So the typical student
spends quite a bit less than $31,123 per year.

这费用岂不是要让我们家倾家荡产了，砸锅卖碗都不管用了，算了，还是不去了。。。{:7_190:}
