Hey everyone, I have a post-admission question:
So my dream school admitted me this past Tuesday but they are still discussing on allocating funding for each admitted PhD student. My adviser at the program currently is out of funding but she is waiting for an NIH grant coming out at the end of April. However, the deadline to accept the offer is April 15, so the timing is really bad for me. She said if she receives the grant, she will offer me research assistantship which cover tuition fee and living stipend. But do you think I should reach out to other professors at this moment to discuss funding with them? Will my adviser be upset about it? I can't just sit and wait.
Please let me know what you think. huge thanks!
