To the person below: never. I will wait until april to decide

If you've been admitted and decided not to get into this program, it would be very helpful to let the department know quickly asap!! especially those in IR.

E-mail from graduate coordinator with an acceptance letter.

IR subfield

International, CP, (1a/1w/1r)

Considering I was flat-out rejected from all programs last year, I'm ecstatic to get a wait list anywhere. It's not about the binary outcome of acceptance versus rejection, but moving the dial. Already a successful cycle in my eyes.

Not a good fit but hurts though

First acceptance - very excited! With funding.
