Any one who got the offer from Maryland decided not to go?

While I can understand and sympathize with your situation, I don't think it's appropriate to rush others with their decision-making process. Just be patient, and you will know soon enough. Posts like these make me uncomfortable because I know that, personally, I need time to mull over my offers, and I wouldn't like someone to push me to make a decision faster than I had planned. As you know, this is a large decision to make. People will be accepting or declining their offers within the next few weeks. I know that this has been a long and grueling application process for all of us, but a few more weeks is not very long in the grand scheme of things. I suggest indulging in your favorite hobbies or guilty pleasures in the meantime.

Hi, I apologize for making you uncomfortable. However, what I am asking is...if someone has already made up their mind...please let me know...I have no intention to push anyone. Good luck with your decision making! Maybe we will be schoolmates~

I have had such positive and promising interactions with faculty and students from several schools, enough to almost make me wish that I could choose two or three programs instead of narrowing it down to one. It's great to know that there are talented and eager students ready and waiting to join these programs. Thanks, Odeta, for putting all of this in perspective. I can't help you out with Maryland, but do hope that a spot opens up for you soon!
