MISSOURI AD

早上收到了密苏里的AD

We are pleased to accept you as a student in our new applied track master’s degree in statistics
for Fall 2013. Please reply to this email by March 31, 2013 and let us know if you accept our
admission offer. We wish to know your decision as soon as possible as there is a waitlist for
admission into our program. Informing us of your decision will allow us to contact alternates in a
timely manner. Once you notify us of your decision and pending final review of your academic
credentials by the Graduate School, you will be officially admitted to the Graduate School.
The new applied track has been created in response to increasing demand for graduate study in
our department. This program requires only 30 credit hours of graduate course work (or
equivalently 10 three-credit classes). In addition, there is no research project or thesis required.
The program can be easily completed in four semesters. Well-qualified applicants will be able to
finish the degree in three semesters.
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 estimated cost for the 2013-2014 academic year
has yet to be determined by the graduate school. The estimate from the graduate school for this
cost was $32,074 per year for the 2012-2013 academic year. This was the amount you must have
guaranteed to get a visa last year. However, our students claim that this estimate was too high.
Our students report that they spend about $700 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 what is estimated.
Please do not view our inability to offer you financial assistance as a reflection on your
qualifications. We had an extraordinary pool of international applicants this year, but we have
limited means for supporting such students.

希望大家给点意见，这个学校的就业怎样，老师怎样，谢谢！{:4_108:}
