perico Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I was accepted to one of the programs I applied to and am still waiting on a decision which I was told was deferred. The program I was accepted to requires accepted students to reply by April 15 and the one I am waiting for says they will review my application again in mid-April "at the next committee meeting". My question is: Should I contact the school I am waiting for and inform them that I have an offer that I need to respond to near the time they will be evaluating my application again? How should such a letter be worded? I was thinking something like: Selection Committee, Thank you for notifying me about the current status of my application. I understand that the selection committee will be evaluating my application at its next meeting in mid-April. However, I have offers from other programs and one of them requires that I notify them of my decision by April 15. I want to be able to consider all of my options, should I expect a decision before April 15? Sincerely, xxxx Thanks GradCafe! perico 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieJ Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I think that's a well-worded inquiry. perico 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waitinginvain? Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I agree: it's well-worded. And I think you have the right to know. perico 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneebuz Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Sounds good to me. You should send that message just as you posted here perico 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stell4 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I too think you should send off the above, though, I would add maybe add few lines. I am assuming the school you're waiting on is one of/or is your top choice; I would let them know such in the message. perico 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
