Hello,
I am waitlisted in a reputable university I would really like to go to. I also have an offer from a lesser-known university with a great group in my field. While the second school is a good option, I cannot make a decision before the first one accepts or rejects my application.
Does my official, signed reply have to arrive before April 15? In this case I have to hurry up since I am an international applicant and mail takes a week or more. I hope they are not bureaucratic and they just have to know my decision before April 15, but it would be helpful to know for sure.
Thanks .
