Former Dean of the Graduate School here: Think carefully about entering a PhD program without a full funding package (tuition & fee waiver plus stipend) for 4-5 years.To clarify Dr. Civic's point about negotations, you would be negotiating with the department, not the grad school admissions office.

This is the smartest comment I've seen about the cabinet mess.

I'm John. I was told "the Irish aren't any good at learning languages" by my freshman advisor at Harvard, where I went on to graduate summa cum laude majoring in Linguistics and Near Eastern Languages. Later, I became a Distinguished Professor in a top linguistics department. I guess he was wrong.
