Hey everyone, I recently was admitted as a master of science canidate to the department of mathematics at NYU. I applied as a PhD student but did not score well enough on my subject GRE to admit me directly (at least this is my theory).
I did not receive a fellowship or assistantship
Question: How common is it not to receive either? I was under the impression that many if not most graduate students receive a great deal of financial aid to attend either in the form of grants, stipends, or working for the university directly as a GSI.
Should I expect to pay most of the tuition myself or through loans due to not receiving these? Is it worth waiting a year and retaking the GRE? (Note: My combined family income is around 40k a year, and I have not received my FAFSA/Financial aid package yet)
Any advice on how I should plan to finance this?
(I have already e-mailed the graduate financial aid advisor)
