- Notes
- Let's all calm down. No one is sitting on offers because they're greedy. More than likely, the applicants holding out are on waitlists themselves, so they can't safely decline their current offers. Also, for the record, it's false that no new pertinent information comes out this late in the cycle. I recieved a fellowship offer today that broke a four-way tie between schools that had accepted or waitlisted me, and I'll be withdrawing from three of them this afternoon. Moreover, choosing between schools is an intrinsically difficult and enormously consequential decision. Applicants have every right to take their time. (And, by the way, they have every right to negotiate for more funding. Doing a PhD is no walk in the park, financially speaking.) I understand how difficult it is to be without an offer: I recieved nothing but rejections when I applied back in 2021, and I was devastated. But I am happy to report that life goes on, and there will be more opportunities to apply. Be happy for the applicants with multiple offers. They probably all but killed themselves for the last four to six years to pull that off. Don't resent them for it. Take a deep breath, drink a glass of water, take a nap if you can, and find something meaningful to occupy you until next Saturday.
