UndergradDad Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 For anyone accepted for a funded masters but waitlisted for Phd programs, are you responding to the masters programs or just waiting to respond until all results including waitlists are in?

Valorship98 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 You should wait until April 15th regardless. If the PhD comes through you'll regret not waiting. Marcus_Aurelius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UndergradDad Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Thanks- wondering more from an etiquette, relationship building standpoint- whether to thank them for their offer , tell them I am waiting for additional information etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valorship98 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 From what I've read, there is no need to say anything - even if you reject an offer. It would be good for networking to get in touch with the DGS's once you make a decision, simply so they can get people off their waitlist if that's still viable for their department. BUT, you should wait until you can use other offers as financial leverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, I'd say definitely reply to theĀ email to say thanks, and that you'll be in touch later once you've had time to think about your decision. Might also be a good idea to ask questions about the program if you had any. Marcus_Aurelius, Duns Eith, philosopuppy and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
