An Issue of Funding.

[baja318]

I was accepted to my top choice school, but was given vague details as to when funding decisions are made. Just that it is a long process that may take a while. According to the school's website, funding offers aren't made until mid-summer - does this seem plausible? It seems a bit odd to me.

Being able to afford to attend a school is obviously an issue for most of us - I would have a hard time accepting their offer of admission without knowing the dollars and cents of it.

In the mean time, another school has offered a decent TA package, but I am most excited about the prospect of studying at school A.

Help?

have you talked wiht them about this.. I think it cant hurt to tell school A this and that without knowing anything about funding you may have to choose school B who has offered you "X" and then ask them if they could please give you some type of indication how much funding you might receive. cant hurt
