I'm now having this offer to my dream program and I'm going to accept it. I applied to several other programs, none of which I like more than my dream program, and I haven't hear news from them. I know some of them have sent out offers, so not having been notified probably means a rejection; but it could also be a waitlist judged on the historical data. I'm thinking of accepting this offer and withdrawing all the others--no matter it's a not-yet-sent rejection, waitlist or acceptance. Part of the reason is that I have made my mind, and don't feel like waiting for any other notification (it's literally killing me), and I could kind of "save my face" by initiating the withdrawal rather than getting rejected on my face (they won't send me rejections if I withdraw my application even if they have made all their decisions, right?). Is that a sensible thing to do? I just want to make sure if it's not inappropriate..
Comments?
