Accepted into PhD EE programs but still waiting for funding

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I've been accepted into a couple of EE PhD programs. In each case the funding decision is separte from the admissions decision. I haven't received any funding decisions yet. The two schools are Michigan - Ann Arbor and Texas A&M. In both cases I had interviews/interactions with professors who were intereted in me as a research assisstant. Anybody in a similar situation out there....especially with these two schools and programs? Any insights? In both cases I've been informally told things should work out in terms of funding. Anybody out there know of similar situations where the funding didn't work out?
Any comments would be helpful!</p>
