Is anyone in this quandary? One of my acceptances did not admit me with funding, and it is my understanding that I am on a bizarre "limbo" list for funding, or that I can possibly get funding for the second year. Do you think it's worth it to consider such an offer? I had a fully funded MA so no debt there--but I do have some loans from undergrad, and I'm not sure I want to add even more money to them. This program is my only acceptance--I am waitlisted at two other schools. I am worried that if I turn this program down, I might not get into one of the waitlisted programs, and then will have missed the opportunity all together. Any one else in this position? Thoughts? Opinions?

I was just admitted to the University of Rhode Island yesterday, via an email from from the Graduate School, not the English department. The email indicated that I would receive a seperate email from the English department notifying me of funding offers--nothing yet. The email also told me to contact the DGS immediately to learn the deadline for acceptance, program info, etc. I haven't heard back yet, and from the discussion here I am thinking I am going to have to call---I am worried that A) they won't get back to me in time, and There is no funding, which seems to be a trend....
