Not to add to the panic, but if there are some of you still holding offers and waiting to make a decision, it might be a good idea to make that decision in the immediate future. My university (public RI, typically five years fully-funded) just rescinded funding offers to those who hadn't yet accepted. Additionally, grads were told today that it was very likely they would not receive department funding after this academic year given the economic impact of the pandemic on the university. I want to emphasize that this wasn't the program's decision--we're all in shock; these decisions were made at the executive level.
