Hi all, this really sucks!! I was accepted to 2 schools so far- and nothing about funding! The one that accepted me last week (USC) has sent two big packets of admission info with nothing specific to me and no mention of funding. The other that sent me an acceptance email almost 3 weeks ago (UCSD) hasn't breathed a peep about funding! Naturally the only school I have left to hear from is my first choice.... figures! I'm really debating if I should call the schools and badger them about money, or just wait to hear from them. The decide-by date isn't a month or more away, so it is really just annoying to wait than any actual trouble. While I've submitted my FAFSAs and asked for RA and TA positions, I just can't believe nobody has sent me anything on those yet... Even just to let me know it's still in the works or not. Does hearing nothing mean 'no', or just 'not yet'? I'm waiting for hear about the FLAS scholarships as well and I have to imagine they'd at least send me a rejection letter for that. Does it seem like PHD students get more aid than MA applicants? Or does that vary from field to field? I guess it's a relief to know I'm not the only person who is waiting on pins and needles for funding.. I only have one other friend applying for grad school and she received all her offers for funding with her acceptances on! Some days I tell myself that's just her and I'm me-- but other times I wonder 'why would a school give me money'! I hope the news come soon and I hope it's good. Aid really will make or break my going to grad school.
