spidy Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 First of all, I think you forgot to list which schools you're considering applying to. Second, I haven't seen many instances of people coming straight from undergrad receiving much funding. You could perhaps be admitted to some of the top schools, but funding is unlikely without work experience. Have you taken the GRE yet? That would give you a clearer picture of where you're likely to be accepted. If you haven't, I would recommend studying for it and taking it before worrying too much about schools.
