couple of questions:
turns out i have been been accepted to my top choice program (woohoo! i wish you all the best of luck in achieving the same - so excited!). it was my first interview, and all of my other interviews are scheduled for much later.
the first question is this: i feel a bit strange not going to other interviews and giving other programs a chance. also, someone who i may want to work with in the future encouraged me to go to a specific program, and i feel weird turning the program down without even interviewing. however, i don't find it ethical to take an interview spot when i'm 100% sure i will attend said program.
second: is it standard to accept an invitation immediately? I just feel funny about this, as I don't know if it's typical to have such conviction about ONE program.
third: i sent thank-you letters after the interviews. should i send again to all profs. who interviewed me after acceptance?
suppose these are nice problems to have though. thanks in advance for any advice.
