I'm faced with the following choice, as of the moment, and I was wondering if anyone had any insight that might help me decide:
UNC-Chapel Hill - funding decisions made in the Fall, no guarantee
NC State - guaranteed funding for 2 years
Some questions I had specifically were:
- What is the worst case scenario if I choose UNC?
- Is it unheard of for people to not obtain funding for longer than just the first year?
Some information that might be relevant:
- Was interviewed by UNC and accepted early in February.
- GPA was not too hot (< 3.5).
I'm pretty risk averse, but I also would really like to go to UNC (research interests align more closely, etc.)... any help is appreciated - I'm happy to provide more info if needed!
