rachelann1991, thanks for your advice and wishing me good luck! Asking for an extension seems to be the best, but what if my request is turned down...? Ok... I think it's time to stop thinking and just send a polite email!

Hi, I would like to know if there is someone on the Brandeis wait-list here, or if there is someone who can advise me. Brandeis says that they might give me an offer "after" April 15th, when their top-choice students make final decisions. Since Brandeis is my top-choice, I'm still just holding another offers, not making any decisions. It seems to best for me that I make a tentative decision before April 15th, and if I fortunately get an offer from Brandeis after April 15th, I will decline the original offer and accept Brandeis's... Does my plan make sense? Or, is it a legally or morally impossible idea to carry out..? What would you do if you are in my situation...? Is there anyone who is wait-listed by Brandeis...?
