    Also, I fail to see the benefit of saying yes to two places. After all, you still are going to go to only one place. Worst of all, what he/she is going to say to "the other university" when the 15th comes? Ehmmm I am actually not going to go to your program, which I had said I would... doing that is far worse than just postponing the decision to the last minute (I think it is only "decent" to give your choice on the 14th -maximum- since there are other people on the line, but even wating that much with no strong reasons is not that good I guess, but it is possible and I am sure it happens).

    I mean, the profession is small, so people know people, and it is a bad idea to start with "that reputation," not that you cant shake it off or cant correct the mistake. Actually, him/her can and should correct the mistake as soon as possible.

    Any day that goes by in which you have misled the program administrators is wrong. If she/he cant decide, well, just flip a coin and be done with it! 

    I am waiting for instance until the last minute as you said because of the reasons behind my control I am waiting for one university to release the decisions. If I would accept any offers I got and if other university I am waiting accepts me later which I would prefer, things will get complicated again for the people in the waitlist.

     

    I guess he was just stressed that director pushed him too much to make up his decision and after showing the comments he decided that he will decline the other offer!! It was a bit complicated story but now we are over. Thanks everyone!! I hope we all can hear all results soon.

  2. I do agree with the above comments. I am also telling him just pick one. Extra time he will get like 15 days or even a month won’t change anything his life but would have a huge effect on others. He is in the psychology department by the way- most political science applicants asked me the name of the schools. One reason, I guess, why he does this that graduate director from one university pushes him to accept or decline the offer as soon as possible even the deadline is the midst of April. It does not legitimatize his actions but he received four or five e-mails from the director. I think it is also weird but anyway I will tell him to decline other offer since those two universities, as you said, are not different that much from each other. Thanks everyone!! I will show him the comments too which can be harsh but maybe can make him decline the other offer!!

  3. Can please somebody tell me what would happen if somebody accepts offers from two different universities at the same time? It is not me- I am still waiting for the deadline 15 April hoping to hear from York until then but my friend is doing it because he could not decide. There are people in the waitlist waiting and it won't be fair for them. I am just wondering is there a way that universities can prevent this such as acknowledging each other who accepted their offer?

    I was able to log in to MyFile, but there is no update on my application status... 

    I can log in to portal, too. I guess it was just an error that they fixed. I e-mailed York again telling that almost all universities in US and Canada released the results. They responded  "Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, we do not have results to report on PhD admissions for international students. We are hopeful that these results can be released in the next few weeks."

    That's awesome, congrats! Do you think you'll accept the offer?

    I'm wondering if they are sending offers to international applicants now as well or if they're doing that later. On the other hand, they admit only a few international students per cycle, so it might very well be that I just wasn't picked this time. I guess I just have to wait and see.

    I also applied to the York as an international student. If you see any updates on the portal, would you mind sharing it in the future? I think they will take only 1 international student and I wish you luck too. I also do not expect a positive result but still wondering.
