Reminder: For the sake of other applicants, please decline as many programs as possible before April 15th

For the benefit of others, please decline as many acceptances as you can as soon as possible. It will help decrease the odds that people who are waiting to hear back from a school they were waitlisted at from being put in a bad position on April 15th.

(Why am I posting this despite being shut out? I know some people IRL who weren't, so I'm still witnessing this process play out)

Also, if you post about it here afterward, it'll let you feel the all-natural high that comes with people acting like you saved their first-born child. ??

This.

Last year I was stuck on a waitlist and had to accept, what I took to be, a lower quality program's offer. I was next in line on that waitlist.

Declining any that you can has a cascading effect.
