Hi,
I got an accept (TA position) from FSU (Florida State Univ.), PhD program in Financial Mathematics, and I am waitlisted for PhD Statistics(Purdue) and PhD OR(Cornell), but still no final word from them.
So now I am in a dilemma whether to accept whats in hand or wait for Cornell and Purdue decision(where I would really want to go, even without funding).
How should I act in such a situation
a)Reply FSU a bit late
b)Reply FSU saying that I am still waiting to hear from other schools but FSU is still under consideration.
c)Accept FSU
If anyone here can give me a good idea of the Mathematics Dep in FSU (it was my safe option) and Overall ranking/reputation of the univ.
Any help is appreciated - thanks
