Electric Anxiety Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 @ThatDeleuzeGuySo I finally solicited information from Utah. Eric Hutton very openly and clearly explained their process and that they have a sort of back up group of applicants that are not accepted, rejected, or waitlisted; in other words, a real purgatory lol. He said offers from this group are basically never given so my chances are slim to none. Oh, and that they may not even be able to give information until after April 15th ?. So you are probably in the same group as me. ThatDeleuzeGuy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naruto Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I declined my offers from Western Ontario and Memphis. This was not an easy decision. Both programs seem great IMO. The students in both programs told me that their professors and classmates are very supportive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

episteme7 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I imagine I'll be turning down an offer from Brandeis in the coming week or so. Still need to figure a few things out before doing so, but will endeavor to do all that as quickly as possible. Nicholassss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friducha04 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hello friends. If any of y'all are sitting on offers from DePaul, Duquesne, or Fordham that you know you are going to decline, I (and others, I'm sure) would appreciate if you would decline soon. I am very high on the waitlists at all three schools and any movement would help tremendously. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dialectica Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Just a friendly reminder to decline your offers you know you won't take. I know for a fact that people sit on offers needlessly every year (or almost every year). Things get very, very complicated and frustrating, for both applicants and programs, on April 15th—best to alleviate that as much as we can! friducha04, popsteady, Duns Eith and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duns Eith Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Remind your friends who have offers too. Those who are most likely to sit on offers needlessly (opting to reply last minute or for the offer to expire) are less likely to see these pleas for help here. If you know someone who has 3 or more offers, tell them they need to be considerate of the admissions committee and for those who are on the waitlist.
