Hi, My situation is like yours in terms of school and lack of funding. I am still planning on going because this is somethign I have wanted for a long time. I contacted the school and they said they are exploring other options of funding. One of the current PhD students told me of a friend who did not get funding the first year and then became a TA the next year. It depends on your school and how badly you want to go. Think about what is the most important thing to you. If you went without funding would you regret the debt later? Or, would it not bother you? Best of luck in whatever you decide.

Preferring the safe anonymity of a phone call instead of a direct email, I contacted them today. They told me that they had received hundreds of applications and it was taking them a while to get through them all. I asked if they had given out all of the acceptances already and these would be the rejections and I was told that there would be both, and everything should be sent by the end of the month. Good luck to everyone!

I got one rejection weeks ago and one acceptance last week (in email, no official letter or funding info yet). I am waiting to hear from my top school, I got rejected last year, I hope they take me this year. The longer it is taking, the more depressed/ worried I become. The anxiety is killing me!
