So, I just got awarded a summer research fellowship that I've been wanting, but I can't accept it unless I get off the waitlist at UCI because I'll be leaving California in the middle of the fellowship dates if I end up going elsewhere for medical school. I know that UCI doesn't tell us where we are on the waitlist, but I really need to know soon or else I lose my chance to accept this fellowship. Do you guys think the admissions office would give me an exception and just tell me my chances so I know whether I can take the fellowship or not if I call them and ask? Or would it be appropriate in this case to call Dr. Peterson to ask?
