Anon Answer to Question 1
Start by contacting the graduate admissions office or officer (website should be able to tell you). They will be able to tell you whether you can apply & then find a supervisor or if you need a supervisor to agree to work with you before you can apply.

Anon 2 Answer to Q1
The best way to evaluate different programs is to talk to current/past students. They know all the tea. Many places can promise the moon but don't follow-through. When they say you can go to (some) conferences even if you're not presenting do they mean it?

Q2 - I am overwhelmed by all the grad positions advertised. How do you choose what schools to apply to since it is so expensive?
Q3 - How hard is it to get accepted as an international school or find finance?
