  1. I have contacted both programs and they said their decisions would be made last week. Yet, I've still yet to hear from either of them. I agree with what you said about going to a program that showed interest in me. This whole process has been stressful and I just want to get it over with.
  2. So I applied to 8 PhD programs in Political Science this application season. I've heard back from 6 (3 acceptances, 3 rejections), but I'm still waiting on the other 2. I already love one of the programs I've been accepted to and will likely go there, but should I wait until I hear back from these other 2 to make a final decision? One of the 2 was in my top 3 that I applied to, but it's getting closer and closer to April 15 and I don't want to leave the programs I've been accepted to hanging. What if I accept at this program and then get a stellar offer from the other one I liked? Then I feel like I'll be trapped.
  3. I'm in the process of rejecting a few of the offers I have received this season and would appreciate some advice on protocol: 1. One program allowed me to reject the offer via their application website. On the online form, I informed them where I chose to go instead and why. Should I also email the program directly and explain in further detail? A little background: This offer was always something I was going to reject from the start because I already had better offers so I didn't have much interaction with the department i.e. I didn't go visit or speak much with faculty. 2. Another program was one I visited and seriously debated accepting before I came to another decision. The department is great and were very welcoming towards me so what should I tell them beyond saying I wont be attending? Should I explain why? There were significant reasons that led to my decision but should I tell them that?
