For those of us that were lucky enough to have more than one offer... Has anyone received any info on, or had any success in acquiring more funding than originally offered? I have had mixed advice so far, with some previous professors saying its the norm to negotiate & others saying not even to try.... I don't want to come off as looking bad to the school, but also don't want to miss out on any additional funding just by not asking.
Also, does anyone have any info on the wide range in stipends being reported within a program on PhD Stipends? Some of these amounts are drastically different than amounts i was offered at the same institution.
Thanks
