  1. Thank you so much for you rapid response, TakeruK - you definitely articulated/confirmed a lot of things I was wondering. I will accept the offer very soon. However - do you think you could respond to the question I ask in the other topic I posted, re: communication between UC schools regarding their admissions? You know, the thread that you immediately closed, stating that it should be discussed simultaneously in this thread.... (Snark aside, I really do appreciate your willingness to offer insights to a random person on the internet - seriously, thank you.) To GeoDUDE!: I know the UC's compete with each other. What I am wondering is if all UC's have access to the list of students that have filled out an "Intent to Enroll" form for one of the UC's. They are all a part of the same public university system, after all.
  2. I applied to several UC schools, was accepted into my top choice PhD program and am 100% planning on enrolling. Yay. However, I have been holding out out on formally accepting the admission offer for various reasons. I mostly am just curious what responses I will get from the other UC's I applied to, without their decisions being affected by the knowledge that I accepted another offer. I have a feeling these schools would find out if I had accepted another offer within the UC system. Can anyone confirm or deny this suspicion? Also, if anyone has any input regarding the financial implications of this sort of situation, I started a thread about it in "The Bank" subforum: Thanks for any insights!
  3. So I got into my dream PhD program at one of the UC schools, got offered an amazing financial package, and am 100% planning on enrolling. Yay. However, I have held out on formally accepting the admission offer for various reasons. I mostly am just curious about what responses I will get from the other UC's I applied to, without their decisions being affected by the knowledge that I accepted another offer. I have a feeling these schools would find out if I had accepted another offer within the UC system. If anyone has any insights on this suspicion, I posted a thread about it in the "Waiting it Out" subforum here: Anyhow, my dream school recently emailed me offering even *more* money, saying they really hope I will accept their offer. Someone else who was also accepted into the department and hasn't yet accepted the offer told me they got the same email. I was ready to just accept the offer and get it over with, but now I'm wondering - should I hold out ever longer? Will the school continue courting me with even more $ added to my package? And how should I go about communications with the department/my advisor during this time? On the flip side, is there any reason that holding out on accepting an admission offer is a *BAD* idea? Any insights greatly appreciated!
