Assistantship Dilemma

[InTheKnow]

Since its almost June and I don't have funding yet, I have been very aggressive about applying for assistantships.

Yesterday a new GA position was made available that I would be PEFECT for. Not to mention it pays well and would give some great experience to boot.

The issue is that I now have an interview scheduled for one of the other assistantships which does not pay as much and I am not as interested in it as much as the other GA position. . If I'm offered it, I'd hate to pass on it though since this is a very competitive year to get funding. Also, I found out from the office of the GA I really want that they will not be making decisions for another three weeks.

If I'm offered an assistantship, do I have to decide right away, or can I have a few days to decide. Is a week's time to much?

Why do you think anyone on this forum should know that?

Go to the interview. If you fail then the decision has been made for you. If you pass explain your situation and ask for an extension.
