I think so. I have plans to do some field work in peru this summer and I have 2 papers with my name on them that will hopefully be accepted soon. so I think I will be a more attractive candidate next time around. but I would like to not have to do that.
I would love to go there. I'm already in the city so it would be really convenient and its a fantastic program (that I didn't expect to even make the wait list for). But, currently my top choice is any school that accepts me.
I'm considering doing the same, but I'm worried. I think I might just wait. If they have the decisions already, I suppose they should be letting us know this week. Or should I take the lack of an acceptance e-mail as a rejection?
