I got accepted to Purchase through a phone call from Faye, the director of the MFA on the friday after that interview sunday. 

I just called UCLA, and the person I spoke with said painting applicants should be hearing back 'very soon', and then further specified that we will hear back by the end of this week. 
 

Have any UCLA painting applicants heard anything or seen your application status change online?

So I work in undergraduate admissions... a handful of people try negotiate their scholarship amounts after acceptance, and almost all of the time those students end up receiving more funding. Has anyone in this forum tried this with a graduate program? I got into a program with tuition waived and a fellowship/assistantship in exchange for 20 hrs of TA work. Accepting these fellowships are like accepting a job offer, and for job offers I know its best to try negotiate your pay.  I'm a bit worried I will come off as ungrateful or needy, but I don't just want to assume that their offer non-negotiable. Any advice?

Waitlisted from UT Austin (painting) via email 

Edit: I just reread your post more thoroughly and realized you were asking specifically about the TAship pay. I don't actually know the answer to that, I'm sorry! But I'll leave my answer for the rest of it.
 
I was told by an admissions person from a grad school at National Portfolio Day to always ask for more funding. She said that the worst they can do is say no, but often if the funding is available, they'll work with you. She did preface it with "you didn't hear it from me, but..." though, so take that as you will. ? I think if you wrote to them or spoke with them in a polite, professional, and earnest-about-their-school way, explaining that you going there depends on your financial situation, then you wouldn't seem ungrateful or needy. They know very well that they're expensive and a big investment. Also, congrats!
