Accepted but Waiting for Funding

[northlandz]

Applied to five programs and have been accepted to three (still waiting on the other two), but two of the three that have accepted me (including my first choice) are mum on funding. I'm so tempted to just accept the program that has offered me funding and be done with this insanity but I'm a better fit in a program that has accepted me but hasn't yet offered funding and a program that I've yet to even hear back from. Madness.

Oh, and my top choice has stated that I'm on a "short list" for funding and that, as a PhD student, it's "likely" that I'll receive funding. You have to love the ambiguity. I'll just go ahead and plan my life around "likely"
