I e-mailed the professor who invited me for an interview. She basically said an offer was extended to another student and she can't make any offer until she hears back from them with a decline by April 15th. It feels so terrible being so close yet so far. I should not have been number 2, I would have accepted that offer in a heart beat! Is anyone else in my boat? How is everyone coping with the April 15th wait??
Also, what are some back up plans? I'm waiting for this clinical neurpsychology phd program. My back up plan is a masters in the same field, but I feel like that would be a waste of time since I would still need to go for a phd anyways. I work in a lab so I'm considering staying another year. Any suggestions??
