AquaBear Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) Hi, I applied to ~14 schools for an MS in BME and was only accepted to one, which I happily accepted by April 15th. Today I found out I got into a research-based MS at a higher-ranked (meaningless, I know) school. My original (accepted) offer is a coursework-based MS. It's a little nuts right now. I'm still in the process of deciding where to go, but I'm just wondering what the protocol is for letting School A know I can't matriculate (if I decide not to do so)? I didn't have to submit a deposit - I'm just hoping I'm not "locked in" or anything. How would I let School A know? Just write something like, "my circumstances have changed and thus I will be unable to matriculate to School A for the Fall term"? Thanks...

DMX Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 did you get funding? if not, the MS school will be understanding. but do let them know sooner rather than later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaBear Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 No, didn't get funding at either school. Thanks, I've been hearing pretty much the same response from all the profs and grad students I've talked to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
