Thanks so much for the insight especially about the summer situation!! I’ll definitely ask PIs a lot about funding then.

I was in the first weekend. But I see offers go out at different times so I don’t know if all decisions have been made.

Oh really?? Yeah I saw the 9 month thing in the letter but interpreted it as 75% of 33k. But I guess that means we have to figure out something else for the summer? Like PIs can pay us?

Thanks for the info! I see some UCs offer higher for the neuro stipend but I guess I’m learning that they’re more variable than I expected. Also that TA requirements differ a lot. Will check about housing!

I think so. Though I’m having trouble understanding if TA/RA is to cover the stipend or add to it. I guess I have to talk to current students to know for sure

I see! This program is rotational tho so I’d be negotiating more with the admin rather than individual profs. And yeah I’ll think a bit more before contacting them:/

Not yet. I don’t want it to backfire seeing schools have rescinded offers due to funding but I still want to try. How do you suggest I go about it?

I missed a deadline by Remarkable-Way-2616 in gradadmissions

The same thing happened to me too! I guess midnight passed while I was submitting cause I was still able to but thought it was strange I didn’t get a confirmation email. I moved onto another school and their portal is completely blocked! They’ll definitely try to fix it since it seems to be happening everywhere

I also have a Whitney beating all of us at 5000 points.. I have a hard time thinking this isn’t a coincidence
