I received an acceptance letter from GA tech ISYE department, but it says that acceptance is not final until I receive one more letter from the graduate admissions office.Is there a chance of being declined admission by the institute,even after being accepted by the department ,or is it just a step to check the authenticity of the application material.I have a deadline to accept another offer by 23rd and GA Tech is on spring break till 25th.Can I be sure I will receive the other letter?Or am I risking it by letting the other offer go?

Hi,I'm applying for masters in statistics and applied math and I want to start a paragraph with a sentence to show that statistics is appealing because I get to work with varied topics.The para goes something like this "My curiosity to ponder questions in different disciplines of science ranging from Benford’s law to fluid dynamics(basically something on other end of the spectrum to benfords law to emphasize diversity) makes statistics a promising choice, as it gives me an opportunity to fulfill this curiosity. The idea that numbers could spin our perspective towards a subject such as cognition, which we once perceived as purely psychological, to a physiologic-centric perspective takes me by awe; the power of quantitative analysis in unraveling aspects that elude our intuition motivates me to pursue Statistics." Suggestions to drive home the same point with clear/neat language are much appreciated. Thanks in advance
