mghicho2 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 What does it mean when a POI states in the interview that he/she wants you to make your decision as soon as you receive the offer? you be informed about any offer soon, but you should make your decision right away.

GeoDUDE! Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 It means he wants an immediate decision. MidwesternAloha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero Honda Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 There are several reasons for this. The POI wants to extend the offer to / consider other student if you dont accept it. Also it could be due to some funding reason MidwesternAloha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwesternAloha Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 It means they don't want you to hold out til April 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juilletmercredi Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I think that they do mean that they want an immediate decision. However, that's a completely unrealistic expectation. So I'd find out whether it's just that he'd like an immediate decision (which you can politely ignore, because after all, I would like a million dollars) or whether he expects an immediate decision or he'll yank the offer after 24-48 hours. In which case, I say that you probably really don't want to work with him...but in that case, I'd politely contact him and ask for an extension.
