  1. Update: I asked my current advisor this morning. He said to start emailing program coordinators right away (or even the POI if there's been significant communication), and ask for an update on my situation and a possible timeline for the decision. He said to mention in passing that I have an admit and they expect me to make an early decision. Hope this helps others who might be facing a similar situation.
  2. Thanks... when do you suggest I should email them? I don't have POIs at all of those univs, so I'll have to mail the admissions office.
  3. Hi, Here's my situation: I have a PhD admit from a top Atmospheric Science school (Penn State). I have applied to a number of other top schools (UWashington, CU Boulder, Columbia, UMiami) that I haven't heard back from yet. Now, the problem is that my PI really wants somebody to fill this position, so he's requested me to make a decision in three weeks. This is a very good project, and I'm very tempted to accept. I'm wondering how to handle this situation. Can I ask the other univs to hurry up with their decision? They're all roughly equivalent on my preference list, and I'd like to have a few options before I commit.
  4. Hey All, I'm heading down to Miami next month for on-campus interviews at University of Miami (RSMAS). I know Miami has crime issues, so could anyone tell me how safe the areas around campus are/what places to avoid? Any suggestions on things to see/do nearby?
