急！請大家幫忙給意見！

今天收到學校的來信，看起來像是條件式的入學...
轉貼原文如下：
--------
Review of your application to the graduate program in Environmental Toxicology at Clemson University has found that you fail to meet the criteria ordinarily set for admission, but you may be eligible for admission on probation. Students thus admitted remain on probation for two semesters, during which they must maintain a 3.0 GPA. If admitted, your coursework would be determined in consultation with your major professor and graduate committee, and may include classes to address identified deficiencies.


I must emphasize that all students must be accepted by an Environmental Toxicology faculty member (major professor) to be admitted into the program. Any assistantship or other financial arrangements must be negotiated with the faculty member accepting the student. I encourage you, if you have not already done so, to contact faculty in your area of interest to search for a major professor. For more information about Environmental Toxicology faculty members please visit our webpage

想請問大家：
1.這樣算是條件式入學嗎？
2.信中好像沒有要我回覆，我應該接下來要怎麼做呢？
3.不知道大家對Clemson University 這家學校的風評如何？我害怕花了很多錢，結果念了兩學期之後就打包回來了！

拜託有經驗的人給些建議！謝謝囉！
P.S我當初是申請博班！

是,如果你去唸的話必須連續兩學期的成績維持在3.0以上
2.信中好像沒有要我回覆，我應該接下來要怎麼做呢？
有需要回覆.你得找一位Environmental Toxicology的教授願意收你,推薦給admission committee後才會被錄取.想要獎學金或是其他補助也得透過這位教授跟他談.
3.不知道大家對Clemson University 這家學校的風評如何？我害怕花了很多錢，結果念了兩學期之後就打包回來了！
我沒有概念.但博班好像是跟教授比較重要,而不完全是學校.

拜託有經驗的人給些建議！謝謝囉！

經過考慮之後，我決定還是明年再來一次。
謝謝hsudk的資訊，我知道學校還不錯，不過，
看過所有老師的專長之後，發現跟自己想要研究的方向有些差異。
所以，我想再給自己一次機會。
謝謝你們的意見！
