When do we hear about funding?

[joyannna]

Hey guys! Anyone have any idea when we typically to hear about funding (scholarships, TAs, etc.) from schools? Is this usually in the acceptance email? I've heard some schools wait even till after the commitment deadline :/

I know this varies between schools, so if anyone knows specifically about GW, BU, MGH, UVA, or UW, that would be great! Thanks!

I hope they don't wait until after the commitment deadline! Whether or not I receive an assistantship at one school will probably be my deciding factor.

For UVA I had to bug Prof Robey I think to find out about an offer of funding.  It wasn't in the initial acceptance. Other schools said right away in the acceptance about funding.
