APRIL - it is the time of year when thousands and thousands of graduate schools sent out their acceptance/rejection letters. Someone asked me at the library what I will do if I received more than one offer and is struggling to choose bewteen two prestige schools. Most students I talked to say that they will "go for" the fundings or the one program which is the best fit for their personal research interests. But that's not what I intentionally to address here. It is VERY IMPORTANT that after you choose the one you will be attending, DON'T decline the offer from others. Try to apply for DEFER ADMISSION. In doing so, you are not shutting down your options immediately. In case something happen, and you still have "other door" waiting for you next year. And the students who are on the waitlist will have a chance to get in as well. In most cases, graduate schools allow the applicants to defer admission for one year.
-Any thoughts??
