Do you have to submit your undergrad transcript when you're on the job market?

After getting acceptances, I am no longer motivated to do well in my courses. Will anyone care if grades slip in the final semester of your undergrad transcript? Will professors get upset at you for dropping the ball? Does anyone look at undergrad transcripts? I know there are only a few weeks left, but I do not feel like doing much. lol... Is anyone else on the same boat?

Well, I already booked my plane tickets, so that's a hassle. I think if I were to accept the offer from the school I'm thinking of, I would cancel. I just want to know if it makes a difference when I hand in my housing forms. If it doesn't, I don't see the harm in visiting other departments just in case I change my mind, because that 1% uncertainty could grow once I'm in the new environment.

I have competing offers, and I told departments that I'm going to their open houses. However, I am certain of which offer I want to accept. As this place is in a place with expensive living costs, I want to live in graduate housing, specifically, in an apartment style rather than dormitory style space. The housing application deadline is at the same time as the deadline to accept the offer of admission. I'm willing to commit to this school, but I've already told other schools that I'm going to their open houses, booked plane tickets, etc. I don't want to go back on that, but I want to accept my offer so I can hand in my housing application earlier. Questions I have are: does handing in the housing application earlier affect my chances of getting the housing building I want? Will it be okay to submit it closer to the deadline, as in, will my chances get no worse than if I submit it earlier? Should I accept my offer of admission to this school of choice to hand in the housing thing earlier and cancel attending the open houses of the other schools? Is it unethical to accept an offer from one school but go to the open houses of others?

I'm going to decline my waitlist offer.

Why do you think that?

I most likely will!

It seemed pretty generic, but I was too in shock to notice. I thought they had mistaken me for somebody else. I'm still in shock, and I refuse to believe it!!! Please, nobody pinch me. Leave me be in peace.

I asked, and he said the waitlist is not ranked. I think it depends on what your AOI is.

Columbia waitlist here. I really hope I can get in!

It is sad that you're so down about going to Harvard when you are lucky enough to have been accepted with (what you consider to be) a subpar writing sample. A lot of people who have put in a lot of work in their writing samples (myself included) would have really appreciated the opportunity. Though I do realize that in the end, effort isn't always what matters. I hope you understand how your negativity is coming across to other people on this forum who would have been much more grateful for such an opportunity.
