UCR Recruitment Day Inquiry

[Sarochan]

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this!

I've been accepted to the GGB grad program at UCR, and have said that I will attend the Recruitment Day they're having. This is probably kind of paranoid of me, but does attending the Recruitment Day mean that I'm accepting their offer? I still have five schools that I've yet to hear from, and I don't want to decide on one place without knowing my other options, if there are any.

This really is probably just me being overly anxious, but I would appreciate any input anyone might have.

First, congrats on being accepted to a program! When in doubt, you can always ask the faculty contact/admissions committee person you have been corresponding with, and make sure you aren't making promises you may not keep. 

 

Just based off the sound of "Recruitment Day", it sounds like the kind of thing where they bring you in, wine and dine you, let you see the facilities, and interact with current students, so you are more likely to accept their offer. Most programs don't require a firm decision until April.

Thanks a lot for your reply, I very much appreciate it. I think you're probably right and that was the feeling that I got as well, but I do struggle with anxiety and wanted some reassurance, heh. I will probably contact the grad coordinator to make sure.

Thanks also for the congratulations! I still have a hard time believing that it actually happened, honestly.
