I just learned that most of the schools I applied to will be notifying students of their decisions sometime between mid to late March, and I got an admittance back in late February for a solid grad program. However, their deadline to notify them is March 25, which I feels is too early for me personally to assess all options thoroughly. I wanted to shoot them an e-mail around 2 weeks before the March 25 deadline asking for more time. Would this message below suffice as an email to send the admissions coordinator?
I would like to request an extra week to consider all my options for graduate study before making an admissions decision for ________ program. While the program is one of my top choices, I am waiting to hear back from schools that will notify me between mid to late March, and I would like to thoroughly assess my options from both a personal and financial standpoint before arriving at a crucial decision. I understand that admission offers run on a tight deadline, so I appreciate your flexibility to accommodate my request.
Thanks!
