hope so! I'm right there with you, buddy

[funding?]

hey, I know with jobs you're supposed to negotiate your compensation package. is there any room to do this with phd funding offers? Like if I get in to both School A and School B, but School B offers more money. Can I go back to School A and try to get them to match it?

(All theoretical, unfortunately. I've only been accepted at one school so far...)
