我查了一下,deadline在4/15前的情况下,如果在4/15之前accept,可以在4/15之前反悔。 “earlier deadlines for acceptance of such offers violate the intent of this Resolution" 以及”the student may submit in writing a resignation of the appointment at any time through April 15“。 我是这样理解的
Acceptance of an offer of financial support (such as a graduate scholarship, fellowship, traineeship, or assistantship) for the next academic year by a prospective or enrolled graduate student completes an agreement that both student and graduate school expect to honor. In that context, the conditions affecting such offers and their acceptance must be defined carefully and understood by all parties. Students are under no obligation to respond to offers of financial support prior to April 15; earlier deadlines for acceptance of such offers violate the intent of this Resolution. In those instances in which a student accepts an offer before April 15, and subsequently desires to withdraw that acceptance, the student may submit in writing a resignation of the appointment at any time through April 15. However, an acceptance given or left in force after April 15 commits the student not to accept another offer without first obtaining a written release from the institution to which a commitment has been made. Similarly, an offer by an institution after April 15 is conditional on presentation by the student of the written release from any previously accepted offer. It is further agreed by the institutions and organizations subscribing to the above Resolution that a copy of this Resolution should accompany every scholarship, fellowship, traineeship, and assistantship offer.
多谢你的回复! 我是Finance PhD。 感觉竞争可能很激烈, 所以当时申请了很多学校。 Temple确实不是最好的学校(no offense to Temple, just the fact based on rankings), 但是确实是我比较想去的学校之一, 加上女朋友的关系, 所以想留在东海岸。 而且Temple给我的全奖也很不错, 那边的老师去面试的时候也对我非常nice。 如果不是我想去的学校我可能都不care了, 就是因为还是比较care Temple, 所以现在纠结啊。
