  1. That actually may help, I was worried B wouldn't take A's early deadline seriously if A couldn't legally enforce it.
  2. I agree, I'm being as honest as I can with both schools. I know both schools have signed the April 15 resolution, but I don't know if it's more of a guideline or what. FWIW, it looks like it applies to fellowships: Those factors are some of what's driving my preference for B. From living in both places, I can say B is a much better fit for me geographically and culturally. I know I'd work well with advisor A, but I enjoyed my interviews with B and her students spoke very highly of her.
  3. Thanks Eternal Student, actually looking back at what they told me it isn't clear if they would officially rescind the fellowship. It was separate from the official offer letter (email from the dept head) though, so perhaps it would be legal for them to retract that part of the package? The other issue is that I have a close relationship with the PI at A, and he told me if I don't accept soon he may lose out on getting any grad students this year, so I feel extra guilt about that, and I don't want to risk souring the relationship.
  4. Hi GradCafe, I've got a waitlist dilemma. School A has accepted me, and offered me a very generous fellowship. School B is probably a better fit for me, and is currently my first choice, but I am still on their waitlist (though my potential PI said I'm at the top). School A says they will rescind their fellowship offer if I do not accept soon (i.e. next few days) so they can offer it to someone else. Is it fair to ask school A to wait until I get a decision from school B? School B hasn't given me a firm timeline, and I would be crushed to lose A's fellowship opportunity, but at the same time I do feel like I could be happier at school B.
