Way to start a career, I know.
Offer A: Accepted by e-mail but not through the website/'officially'.
Offer B: Declined through website/'officially' *and* wrote elaborate e-mails explaining why (research fit).
Just wrote to Offer B contact from Admit committee to ask if it was too late to reconsider, explained briefly that I had been under so much pressure (I have) by everyone to decide quickly and that I may have miscounted certain factors.
I know I have till April 15th either way, but tell me, people, just how royal and permanent is the damage? For what it's worth, these are two different programs. Offer A is social sciences at an underfunded public U and Offer B is regional studies at an ivy league. They are both full fellowships but Offer B is much more secure (nevermind a better bet in the long run) than Offer A, especially since B has more resources in general.
The worst part is? Both of these offers are in the same city, and wherever I end up, I will want to take classes at the other one through a consortium! Should I shoot myself in the head at this point or what?
TRAUMA.
