    I emailed Bruce Carter directly and he responded promptly. I don’t think withdrawing an application when you have more enticing offers would ever be taken the wrong way. What schools/PIs disagree with (my SO and friends are all in grad school so I’ve been privy to the details of a lot of application cycles at various schools) is handing out an offer to someone who has either accepted elsewhere or who is not still considering their program. I think your paranoia is unfounded. If you wait to the last second (eg if you receive an offer on say the 15th) even rejecting at that point might preclude them from making an offer to someone else or it might force a willing applicant waiting to hear back to accept elsewhere prematurely. There is absolutely no reason to hold on to an application for a school you don’t wish to attend.

    Hi Jas so I just received word that I was high on the “hold group” for Vanderbilt NGP which may mean that you are in a similar situation. In that case it may be beneficial for you to decline despite not hearing back (given you would decline anyway) so those of us who are still interested have a better chance.

    I also never heard back from Vandy NGP after my interview. I’ve been hesitatent to accept one of my offers without hearing back from everyone. Def frustrating.

    Bummer - are you sure they all went out yesterday? Really wish I would have applied IGP instead
