Thank you fuzzylogician and mikeck! I know GRE and GPA aren't the most important factors. However, this person was admitted in the second round, while I entered in the first one... Anyway, I don't want to compare myself to others, I am just trying to find an explanation to why I didn't get funding... I guess I can only wait for that phone call and write them often to ask for an update...

I've been admitted to some universities, but my preferred one has only offered me a tuition waiver (they will phone me if they can offer me something else...). Is there any polite way to ask for funding? I know there is a person with a lower GPA than mine but a slightly higher GRE who has received funding... I have better offers from other universities, but I really like this one... Thank you!
