I emailed Heather in the offer letter and she forwarded it to two other people. I mentioned two competing offers at comparable schools, and said that I really wanted to go but the stipend was making it hard for me. Fred (one of the people, I think he's the admissions chair) responded to me almost immediately with the no.

The update is that it did not work--I got a pretty rude email back basically saying "sucks dude"

I've heard from seeing posts on GC that it looks like there were 2 different funding offers at berkeley, one with the 8k first year and TA-ship onwards, and one that was ~30k a year. Does anyone have more specific details on the ~30k a year stipend amount? I'm thinking about trying to bargain with them.
