    I do not think either of the previous two people were attacking her to be honest.  The truth hurts sometimes.
     
    And I disagree, that you should "take as much time as you need".  There are deadlines for a reason because the adcoms need time to refer to the waitlist if needed.  Everyone else has to obey their guidelines, so what makes her so special?

    It's not the fact that "everyone is probably as over this decision" as you are that should make you feel embarrassed.  
     
    It's the fact that you're sitting on scholarship money at these institutions that could otherwise have really helped someone, or could have changed their decision.  Just like the "unexpected 2nd round funding from SIPA" changed your calculus.
     
    And that's just selfish.  And shameful.  And sh+tty.
     
    Either put on your big girl boots and pull the trigger or make a date with the Karma gods.  Your choice.

    If I could like this 1000x I would. 
     
    It is awful to think how selfish you are being right now.  What you have done in paying two deposits and simply going "in circles" is certainly not illegal, but it is unethical and defeats the good faith that all of these schools have put on you to weigh the pros/cons and make a decision in a timely manner.  You had plenty of time to make up your mind.  Just go to the "Waiting it out" section on this forum and read about the people who are still waiting to get into ONE school.  The longer you hold out means that one person on the Fletcher waitlist is going to miss out on his/her dream school and be forced to enroll elsewhere.  I understand that this is a major decision in your life, but it is rather disgusting to think that you might be one of my classmates at SIPA this fall because of what you are doing. 
     
    Am I being too harsh on some random on an internet forum? Yeah, probably. Am I going to get a bunch of negatives?  Maybe.  Just grow up a little and think about the bigger picture.

    your kidding right? Apply to the 2-3 tops schools. If your profile is what you say it is, there is no way you will get in to at least one, likely all of them. Student profiles are super over-inflated. I've worked with plenty of WWS graduates. On paper they tend to be pretty impressive, but there is nothing special about them. Just people that have been crossing every T and dotting every i their whole life...which, in my book, sounds kinda lame.
