gr1277 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 So I was under the impression that we had until April 15 to accept offers (http://www.cgsnet.org/Default.aspx?tabid=201). I just received an acceptance today that gave me a deadline of March 19. I'm worried that I might not even hear back from some of the other schools I applied to by then. Mizzou said "on or before March 31" and Nebraska said it would take until March too. I'm applying to MA programs by the way.
ComeBackZinc Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 The CGS is an important document, and I'm glad many schools stick to it, but it has no binding authority at all.
gr1277 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) The CGS is an important document, and I'm glad many schools stick to it, but it has no binding authority at all. The school is listed as a member though. I assumed they would follow it then. It's frustrating because I don't want to accept this offer if I have a possibility at better schools.

ComeBackZinc Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 That is frustrating, and I'm genuinely sorry. It might be worth calling and asking how hard that deadline is. The sad fact is that there's little to compel schools to abide by the resolution beyond their own commitment.
