If they agree to work with you and extend an offer then they may support you through their research funds (assistantship). The academic advisor will then provide you with an offer letter.

We split the applications up into several batches based on when the applications were completed. Each batch is then sent to the review board for a decision. Once your application has been reviewed, you will receive notification from the university of whether you have been accepted or declined. - What are the next steps after I have been admitted?
