Hello,
I applied to various Psy.D. programs and have been fortunate enough to get into three. I turned down the first offer, as I did not have a good experience while interviewing there. I received a second acceptance and accepted, because I truly like the program, faculty, etc. Imagine my dismay, when I discovered that their financial aid is horrific. It isn't the cost of program, which is very competitive for Psy.D. programs, but the university unnecessarily limits the amount of financial aid their doctoral students can receive. I was baffled. Had I not specifically inquired, I might have moved there thinking I could easily finance my education. Now, I've received a third offer from a school that I equally like, and they have confirmed that they will not limit my financial aid in the same way. Is is possible to tell the program I accepted "nevermind" and say "yes" to the third program? I realize this is very unprofessional and would be lying if I said I wasn't embarrassed. I appreciate any help on this matter, particularly if you have experienced something similar. Thank you in advance.
