Hi! I know it’s tough to make a descion. I’m planning on going to a pretty expensive school that hasn’t given me any funding but many current students told me funding is a lot easier after the first semester or two when you’ve got your ‘foot in the door’ (something departments don’t advertise). I know it doesn’t give much confidence but after talking to a bunch of people from different schools as well, it really does seem like a lot of the more expensive programs function that way. I have a friend who got no financial assistance first year but an almost full assistantship her second year at an expensive private school. So it’s very possible finance won’t be a setback for you at your dream school. Wish you all the best!

Hi, I saw one person post their acceptance on Feb 16 but nothing other than that. I haven't been contacted either, but I called them last week because honestly I was concerned if they even received my application. Dr. Stanford said they're still reviewing applications and cannot give me a time-frame where they expect to send out decisions. Basically got no info other than 'they are still reviewing.' But is seem extremely odd given that it's March and they can't really be sending out their acceptances now and expect people to make a decision by April 15th, right? So I'm guessing they've already sent out most of their decisions but I'm confused as to why only one person has posted their result so far...? All-round confusing situation with Howard.
