Unfortunately, I will have to sign the contract in the next week or it will be gone. It wouldn't be as big a deal except that my wife will also be signing. I contacted the school a couple of weeks ago to explain the situation and they did me the favor of looking at my application materials. Unfortunately, all they could tell me was that my application "looks solid" but they won't be sure until March. I don't want to screw things up by emailing or calling again, but at the same time, if I sign my contract I will have to decline an offer in March if they give one.

I am sure everyone sees their situations as unique, but I have a huge problem. I teach internationally, and in the international teaching community, contracts are usually issued and signed by the beginning of February. I am in that position now. I have contacted the school where I applied, and I was told that "the admissions team reviewed my application and report that it is 'solid' but that no final decisions will be made until the beginning of March. It has been a couple of weeks since that email, but I have to decide on a contract in the next week. I can't afford to go without a job if I don't get into school, but I don't want to give up the chance to go to school because I already signed a contract. Do I contact the school again to ask if any progress has been made? I don't think the previous conversation was enough to lead me to believe I am in.
