Thanks so much for the replies - I did ask, and was told that funding decisions are only made closer to the fall when the dept. knows how much they'll have to give. Lol, that didn't really help at all, but hopefully I can talk to him more in depth about my chances.

I've gotten an acceptance letter from my top choice, and the professor who emailed me said he thought it would productive if I joined the project that he's working on. So... am I being dense, or is this code for "if you want to work w/ me, you'll probably be funded"? The only way I can go to this school is if they fund me, so I really need to find out. What is professor speak for "tuition remittance and stipend" - research opportunities? I'm at a loss, I don't want to sound rude by asking about it right out, but that's pretty much the only thing keeping me from saying yes right now. What is the etiquette of replying to an acceptance letter "YES!!!! but only if you fund me"
