That sounds like a hard decision- how did you decide ? (Also, which program- if you don't mind sharing)

 

Congrats on narrowing it down! 

I decided certain programs weren't for me because I just knew. There was one where I just couldn't see myself going to school there and living there and others (that I'm planning to decline their offers soon) I felt that there were other programs where the fit was better and my needs would be better met.

Heard back from two additional programs (one of them was my top choice after visiting so I'm really happy about that), mostly now I'm waiting to finish up my last three visits (to programs that admit first then have you visit), before I make a final call as soon as possible.

I'm already uncomfortable holding on to spots in the three programs I've been admitted to but still have to visit, however having seen how much I learned visiting other universities, I also feel like I can't make a choice without having seen what those programs/POIs are like in person.

In general, I'm also just looking forward to finally knowing where I'll move with my SO for the next 5-6 years. 

 

I know what you mean. I feel really bad about holding onto offers, but I don't feel comfortable letting them go until I finish my visits. I did pass on one so far that I knew for sure I wouldn't be attending and someone was able to get off the waitlist. I'm hoping I'll know better once I'm done visiting and I can let programs know ASAP and more people can get off the waitlist.

As far as UCI, has anyone here been admitted to the psychology & social behavior program? I haven't seen anything on the results page. I was waitlisted there and I'm just wondering.

Hi, I was admitted to UCI's program.
