I just declined UT Austin.

When are NYU's visiting days?

Ditto. Ditto.

For what it is worth, my supervisors both said that while I should enjoy the courting to the maximum, I should not in any way take it as an indicator of how things will be once I accept. For that, talking to current graduate students is the only vaguely reliable indicator of the realities of the programme.

Where are you planning on heading instead?

Thanks for saying.

Ouch.

Is anyone planning to decline MIT (offers or waitlists)?

Fair enough!

Can we please not let this turn into an analytic-vs-continental argument....

Why from 1 to MIT?

Waitlisted at MIT. One of five. Fingers crossed very tightly indeed.

I opened with something akin to "I apologise for pestering you and for letting impatience get the better of me... but...."

Yes, also haven't heard anything. Fingers crossed it means wait list (as opposed to forgetting I exist)

Anyone still waiting to hear from MIT? I haven't heard a peep. (when this happened with Brown I ended up on a waitlist, so hoping for the same this time!)

That would be pleasant news indeed.

Is anyone else yet to hear anything from Brown? I've not had an email and there's no decision letter on the website.
