Hi everyone,
So I was admitted to a PhD program in Political Science in one research oriented public university in the US (top 30). Got a funding offer - TA, stipend, all the bonuses, in-state tuition waiver, But they said they won't cover out-of-state tuition - and there is no way I can establish residency because I am an international applicant. Is it some form of soft rejection, or is it a common thing?
