dilby got a reaction from rr732 in Here Comes the Sun/ Waitlist Movements
Just formally declined my waitlist spot at Rice — I am 99% sure that this is going to cause some movement, if someone out there is waiting.

I also wonder how it works between semester-based schools like Yale and quarter-based schools like Chicago/Stanford — do they just fudge it and say "a seminar is a seminar"?

dilby got a reaction from Maylee in 2019 Decisions Thread
Yes! I had a great visit to Yale but, get this—I am still strongly considering Rice! That's a big decision, so I've got lots of phone calls to make and emails to write before I'm comfortable pulling the trigger either way. (Of course, I haven't even been admitted to Rice, so doing my best not to jinx anything here).
You were there during my visit, so you definitely got a sense of how happy I was and how much I fit in with just about everyone I talked to. This is definitely where Rice has a leg up on Yale, where the overall atmosphere was a little stuffier and more self-important than I'd prefer. Although of course that doesn't apply to everyone I met, and some of the professors I talked to were really warm, honest and helpful. And their work is really exciting, and meshed well with my own interests.
My academic and academia-adjacent friends and mentors are going to get a lot of questions from me in the next couple of days, to be sure.
