If you can afford it, I'd still apply. The senate version of the bill doesn't tax tuition waivers, unlike the house version. That means the final bill may not include that provision. Even if it does include that provision, the universities will probably find a way to get around this, I assume. Otherwise, they would face enormous problems paying PhD students enough money to live on.
Also, you may want to apply to some schools outside of the US as well, e.g., Canada, UK, etc.
- jernfrost 9y agoPeople forget that you can do graduate programs in english in plenty of non-native english speaking countries. All graduate programs in the Netherlands e.g. are offered in english. A reason to not forget this is that anglo-saxon countries usually have high tuition fees, while outside the anglo-saxon world you can frequently find tuition free or schools with very low tuition. It is not like lower tuition means worse quality. I've a master partly both in the US and the Netherlands, and the dutch university was much better. Better facilities, better professors, better designed programs. Of course top American universities are the best in the world, but once you go below that level, American universities are not necessarily that good. University quality varies much more widely in the US and UK e.g. In Scandinavian countries, the Netherlands, Germany etc, quality will be more even.
