Well, master's don't usually include funding, do they? I figure PhD programs only do because they want to use you for your research skillz. Two schools is good because it means it's not a fluke. Right?
I myself have radio silence from five schools, but I can infer two rejections (MIT & Carnegie Mellon) from the silence. CMU had their interviews this past weekend and MIT said that if you hadn't heard from them by mid to late January then you're not getting in. It's pretty stressful. Everyone I talk to says that I should call the departments and the professors to pester them with my ENTHUSIASM AND EXCITEMENT for their school, but I am too chicken to do so.
