finalman Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I was accepted into a good school for my field and met with a professor I really liked at open house. I later had a phone conversation with him a few weeks after open house and he said I could join his group and start working this summer. The next day I received NSF and he emailed me listing reasons I should join his group. I emailed him back saying I would make my final decision the following week. However, I have emailed him twice saying I won NSF and would like to join his group, but he has yet to respond. Should I go ahead and accept the school's offer? I'm worried the offer to join his group has been taken back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babybird Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Is there a lab manager or someone you could email to see if he is out of town or something? Assuming this school has a deadline on the 15th, I also think it'd be permitted to give him a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eigen Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 How long has it been since you've emailed him? Anything short of a week... And this seems pretty typical. law2phd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mwing Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 If he has an assistant you should try calling her/him. I agree with babybird that he might be out of town. It seems unlikely that he would go back on his word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
