Thank you for the answer. I agree with you that the university may not follow the April 15th code. But what I need is not that much time-April 15th. I just want them to be wait until the beginning of March. I didn't send a letter requesting extension of the response date yet, but I'm thinking of sending one this week. Thanks anyway!

Thank you very much!! I will request extension next week. I don't need that much time-until April 15th. I only need a few weeks. By that time, most of the programs that I applied and I want to go will notify their decisions. Thanks again.

Yes!! The university is on the list!! Then, they cannot urge me to respond no later than February 1, huh? I wonder why they require me to notify that early. As you noted, I really do not want to notify and cancel - I agree with you that it is murky. So the best option is to request extension, right? Thanks!

I want to ask you about the legal responsibility of applicants. I received an admission letter from one Ph.D. program in January 6, and a funding letter in January 10. The admission letter required me to notify my intention to enroll no later than February 1, and the funding letter required me to respond no later than March 1. However, there remain many other programs I applied that did not make admission decisions yet. As you know, many programs usually make their decisions in February. I want to wait and see the result of other programs, but the February 1 time limit is too tight. My question is, can I ask the program that gave me an admission to extend the time to notify my intention? If they do not allow the extension, can I notify them to enroll and cancel later when other program gave me an admission(that would be before submitting funding document)? Is there any legal responsibility about canceling notification of intention(that is not about funding, but about admission)?
