University at Buffalo- funding

[Question1]

I have already got admission and ready to getting into Economics Ph.D program at the University at Buffalo. I would like to know my possibilities of getting financial aid in the second year because without any funding offer at this time.

 

And, I have some questions about Ph.D program admission. Normally, how large is the first year class? How many offers of financial aid will they usually to give during the second year? Would you please inform me this information? Thanks!

I'm a graduating senior in the department, along with geography. The profs are good but are relatively old, plus elhric, the chair, really doesn't care too much about students, ive seen PhDs that have been continuously under him for 6 years plus.

The department is probably composed of 250 people, 180 undergrads, 40 masters, 30 PhDs.
