No doctoral acceptances yet, only an interview at Cambridge coming up next week and a couple M* acceptances. The doctoral programs to which I've applied include Oxford, Cambridge, Rice, and UT Austin. I'm not sure if these allow deferrals.

I am a semi-finalist for a research Fulbright in Germany and am interested to know if anyone thinks it would be worth accepting in lieu of a funded Ph.D. offer.

Does anyone know if Germany typically conducts interviews for research applicants? I’m a semi-finalist for Munich. Congrats to those who have received good news and best wishes to the rest on other future endeavors!

Thanks for the helpful comments. @xypathos, Union is not the school. I contacted the school, and they extended my decision deadline but not the scholarship deadline, which obviously does not help me much. @marXian, I was not aware of that resolution, but the school is, in fact, on the list. The program is in a div school, so I'm not sure if that nullifies the agreement, but I personally do not see why it would. I will follow up with them and ask about the April 15 deadline.

Hi all, I was recently accepted to an M* program high on my list and offered a decent scholarship. The school notified me that my scholarship offer expires in a few weeks. I won’t hear back from most of the other M* and PhD programs to which I applied for awhile. Does anybody know of the potential risks of accepting the offer but then decommiting and accepting another offer later? Is this taboo? Commonplace? Thanks.

@sacklunch, thanks for your note. I tried to message you, but it says you are unable to receive messages. If you wouldn't mind, perhaps you could try to message me.

Thanks! I just messaged you.

@xypathos, thanks for your response and feedback. I have thought about VDS, but I get the sense that NT studies - and even 2TJ studies - is not their focus going forward. The other program to which I'm thinking about applying but am currently "on the fence" about is Chicago Div.
