  1. I don't know if you are still deciding, but you should ask school # 1 for more money and tell them you have another offer and that differing financial commitments is what is holding you back from potentially accepting their offer.
  2. I was lucky to be offered admission to more than 5 PhD programs and offered fellowships at several of the programs - this was incredibly stressful, as one of the offers came from my letter-writer who pressured me to accept. I felt so indebted to her for all of her support in the process, and I really like her approach to working with her students generally - that I accepted, (I also had a lot of things going on in my personal life at the time which made things stressful) but am now having very bad buyer's remorse. I had been offered admission to a more highly ranked institution with someone with whom my research interests more closely matched - an academic idol of mine and I can't stop thinking about having rejected this offer, even though this program seemed to have its flaws, as well. To make matters worse, my funding package at my current institution where I had accepted was miscommunicated, and it is several thousand dollars less than what I had thought it would be, I have no fellowship at my current institution, and it looks like I will be stuck working on something I do not feel passionate about. I am wondering what others would do in this situation. I really feel like I don't want to start the program feeling regretful and like I made the wrong decision due to pressure/overwhelm, but so much work went into the application process, that I also feel like I'd like to make it work if I can.
  3. I am curious about each program....there is limited information that does not come directly from the school or from a ranking system that I do not fully agree with. I would love to hear any impressions of each program!
