- UPenn's groups are well funded and doing well. Don't bother listening to angry comments here on gradcafe talking bad about any particular top school for physics. UPenn's Physics attrition rate is relatively low compared to other schools, indicating student satisfaction. In general, most top places have funding. A particular group might be tight on money due to accepting too many students or a grant not getting approved, but I would assume it's rare as professors at most places generally only accept students if they think they would be able to fund the student. The suggestion that all/most of the groups are underfunded at any top place is a joke. Also, UPenn already had their Open House and sent out their initial acceptances. I am guessing they are waiting for those people to accept or decline before sending out the rest of the decisions. Good luck to all. In general, just visit the places you get accepted to and ask the professors about funding and all of that. They will usually tell you their situation and if they plan to take/fund new students.
