Hi, I'm a Canadian applying to Canadian Masters programs in Statistics. I received an offer in the mail today asking me to make my decision by February 3rd. Now this is ridiculous because deadlines are early February and I just submitted my applications a couple weeks ago. The chances of me hearing from any of my other schools by then is very small. I've sent the school a letter thanking them for their offer and asking for an extension on my decision. If the school doesn't give me an extension, or gives me one that still doesn't work, how would you respond? I'm not sure whether I should just decline them or not because they are near the bottom of my choices. Thanks
