  1. When I received my first acceptance a few weeks ago, and ran to tell my professor at Cornell about it, the first thing he asked was "Did you get funding?". So yes, never do a Ph.D. without being fully or at least partially funded. If you can pay for it out of your own pocket, that's a different story. So good luck - hopefully both you and I will receive funding from our top choices. (In my case, I do have backups but still..)
  2. Hi everyone! So I received an acceptance to my first choice program today, but I'm a little bit confused regarding funding. This is what the letter says: "I am also happy to tell you that the History Department has also named you an alternate for for a guaranteed funding package. I will let you know what that funding package might be as soon as possible" An alternate - does that mean that as of now I will not receive funding? Am I correct? I'm not sure how to interpret that statement. I am a little bit upset because I would love to attend that program, and if I do not receive funding, I will have to choose another one. Thanks for your help, congrats to those who were accepted, and good luck to those who are still waiting to hear back!
