Gneiss1 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I received an email today from my POI at my dream school. It said he has been requesting another grad school offer and there is a possibility that he can make another offer later this week. He went on to ask if I am still interested. So are my chances fairly good you think? And does a grad school offer generally entail funding if it has to be requested by the department?

TeaGirl Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 It's not a sure thing until s/he actually makes the offer. I got emailed by 2 profs at different schools, I got waitlisted at one (he had a short list of candidates he was considering), and the other never replied back after that first email (and I still don't know what's going on :/ ). I hope you have better luck with that and get some good news soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vietexob Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Yes, this sounds like a very decent chance of a 'yes'. ;-) I received an email today from my POI at my dream school.

imonedaful Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 This sounds promising but no guarantees. However, I had received an e-mail from a university asking me if I was "still interested" because I was one the candidates they were interested in. I replied that yes, I was still interested. Then I was rejected a few weeks later. I hope it turns out better for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanaut Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Like you said, there is a possibility. If I've learned anything it's that you're always best to manage expectations until you get a definitive answer. But best of luck, and I really hope it works out for you! Sounds like the POI wants to have you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
