Since its almost June and I don't have funding yet, I have been very aggressive about applying for assistantships.
Yesterday a new GA position was made available that I would be PEFECT for. Not to mention it pays well and would give some great experience to boot.
The issue is that I now have an interview scheduled for one of the other assistantships which does not pay as much and I am not as interested in it as much as the other GA position. . If I'm offered it, I'd hate to pass on it though since this is a very competitive year to get funding. Also, I found out from the office of the GA I really want that they will not be making decisions for another three weeks.
If I'm offered an assistantship, do I have to decide right away, or can I have a few days to decide. Is a week's time to much?
