If anyone is likely to decline their offer, please let me know! I'd like to reiterate this but also to obviously choose whichever school best suits you. I hope my moaning doesn't somehow get subconsciously woven into any unduly negative thoughts about the school and ruin impressions or bias decisions in any ways. Also, congrats to everyone! If the wait list doesn't work out for me, turn a page or two for those that didn't make it (hopefully a good book, if you'd indulge me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: I'm sadly also turning down Michigan (haven't had the heart to send that email through just yet). Awesome! I'm not sure yet myself (I'm literally at Penn right now) but based on teaching load and location I knew it wasn't going to be Michigan, so I went ahead and passed so that someone on the waitlist could move up. The rest of this decision, though, is... difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that feeling. I recently declined a very generous offer from SUNY-Buffalo to accept an offer at Emory. I was very torn about it but knew that it was the right choice.

Yeah it's been really great here, actually. I'm deciding between Penn, NW, and Harvard. All pretty similar on the basics but a different feel for each.

Made things official last night, which also means there might be waitlist movement at Harvard, Princeton, and Northwestern. Hope that helps someone!
