Not that I know of and I left half way through a Ph.D program. It's probably easiest for all to leave at the end of a semester if you can make it, but most people don't even have these kind of repercussions. Be honest with faculty that you like/work with and it should be easy to avoid burning bridges- I had faculty writing me letters, etc.

Guys, I successfully negotiated my funding package! Heading to UT Austin's Ph.D program in American Studies.

changed my mind like 20 times but leaning towards it. Have you made a decision?

Got an acceptance to UT Austin (American Studies) yesterday so I HAVE TODAY to decide. AH

Got into UT today-not much time to decide gah

Just got into the University of Alabama! Still probably heading North (brrr) but it was nice to hear!

I haven't heard anything, the the coordinator said most of the movement happens in March. That said, I got a really good offer from UMass English so I think i am going to go with that.t

Got the rejection from Yale, my last one! So now just those waitlists! (somebody turn down UT Austin plz)

Still haven't heard from Yale (joint Am Studies and AFAm) so no clue what to think. I am also waitlisted at FOUR schools so waiting for that, but I am very excited about UMASS.

I am waitlisted at UConn too, but in lit. Also waitlisted at UT Austin Am Studies, Delaware, Alabama (they literally accept 3 students in total for Ph.D AND MA)

ohhh i didn't even think of that! I am also a joint applicant.

WHY HASN'T YALE CONTACTED ME AH

honestly, if it's really dragging on you I would just do it! And who knows, you might get the good news (or the waitlist agony)

Waitlisted at Uconn! I am apparently destined for the waitlist omg.

I emailed because I am a giant pain. I just needed to know!
