[How important should funding be when making a decision?]

I have been lucky enough to been accepted to multiple programs, I plan on visiting four programs during March which will help make my decision but am not sure how much of my decision should be put on funding. In my case, the funding for school A&B is 7,000 more than school C&D. Any advice would be appreciated!

Which one is it?

I'm not going to name it now since, after 5 days, I finally got in touch with someone to get the problem resolved but I missed the priority deadline even though they admit it was their fault

I'm so frustrated right now, have a school that says I didn't send my GRE scores (I did) and didn't chose the fee waiver (I did) showed screenshots and can't talk to anyone at the school because I just get hung up on. Honestly thinking the school isn't even worth my time now

Is it possible to obtain an acceptance before a school's deadline for application? 

I did but the school was rolling admissions.

So when y'all RSVP'd to your visitation weekend did you get any response back? I sent an email last week and it has been radio silence since then, I was thinking of calling tomorrow (the "due date" to RSVP) just to make sure they got my email.

Where were you accepted? Other people have started being accepted into the unit i applied to which is making me incredibly nervous. 

I was accepted to University of Rochester (in NY). It is a smaller program but the closest school to my family.

Got my first acceptance last week. All other deadlines are 1/15 so patiently waiting on 6 more applications. I am a medicinal chemistry applicant.

So I got my first acceptance from one of my top 3 choices and am now wondering if it is worth it to apply to my "safety school" that is due January 15th, I haven't paid the money to send out the GRE but sending out the application itself is free. I don't see any reason why I would choose this safety school vs. the school I am accepted to.
