Very painful to read that my alma mater is losing $800 million of federal grant and as a result is reducing workers by at least 2,000 people. Good People, the cuts are real and America is being redesigned. Johns Hopkins University is the only top-10 university which does not require an application fee (the main reason I applied), making it easy for any person to join the competition.
And when it was all done, out of more than 900 students, I was among the 15 picked by the electrical & computer engineering department, with fellowships and scholarships. And it was not me because they would not admit you for a PhD if they do not have 100% funding for you. So, with this $800m cut, many bad things could happen, not just to staff, but foreign students who do not have access to the US student loan system.
Yearly tuition is about $65,000 and you need at least $40,000 for your upkeeps since PhD is only done full time there. How can foreign students make it? The era of Trump is just loading and the scripts will be long.
