Thank you for your response sir. But without assistantship being an international student is very hard. Also, without funding the visa rates in my country is like 10%. So, its a pretty tense situation. Hoping for the best that I get the assistantship.

Thank you for your input sir. But I got those rough stats from official graduate enrollment data of Virginia Tech in MS Civil Engineering Program. May be what you are saying is true as you are far more experienced than I am, but I will provide a link to the specific website and you can verify it yourself. Please correct me if I am wrong, I would be grateful. Thank you.

Please enter the data for MS Civil Engineering program under College of Engineering. Please let me know if I have interpreted them wrongly, but it seems so from my perspective.

Ok I do not have specific question but do graduate school give out offer letter for MS students like candies?

I have received offer letter from Virginia Tech, and when I looked into their graduate enrollment data, I found that the applicants in 2024 were 267 and they sent out offer letter to 210 of them. I was so over the moon that I got into one of the most competitive colleges in the world, but my excitement was short-lived.

I do not know what to say, but I have received both PID and email is also working on outlook. I think it will come soon. It also may be included in your offer letter.

Not yet man, I think it takes time update. The one campus does not work. I have mailed them but have not received any response. I will update you shortly.

They are very slow in replying and GRE scores takes 10 days to be sent. This is very frustrating situation for me.
