molksiazkowy Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 This may sound a bit ignorant, but I'm wondering if folks still snail-mailed their decision to accept a school. I plan on emailing the program I chose, but I'm also wondering if I should mail an official letter. The university does not specify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KM3 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) I'm actually going to call the DGS to accept and then mail a formal letter for my file. I will also call my new advisor to let her know. Conversely, I'm also going to call the DGS at the program I am declining (again, also sending a letter). Not only do I feel it's more courteous, but then they can more quickly offer my funding to someone who is waitlisted.

Xero735 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Don't bother wasting the money. Call/email the graduate director. He will then send you paperwork you need to fill out so it will be official in some way shape or form. But filing a letter to let him know that you are attending or not attending is a waste of both time and money on your part, their part, and people on the waitlist's part.
