Deadline to accept but waiting on others

[muddpudd18]

I was accepted into a master program, but the deadline to accept or decline is approaching. I have not yet heard from two other schools that are closer in location to where I live, so I would not have to pay for housing. I would not feel right about rescinding an offer, but I do not want to lose it either. Is it acceptable to ask for an extension?

Same boat. So annoyed about it too

There are many people who ask this on this forum and time and time again I have seen that it is always worth trying to ask for an extension. So I say try because all they can do is say no, but I do think a lot of people actually do get extensions on their deadline to decide.

Good luck!
