Hey everyone,
Question on etiquette for VSAS rotation offers: I applied to two programs for the same time frame, hoping to hedge my bets in case one program filled up or whatever may happen.
Both programs started accepting offers at the same time, and both stated on VSAS they would begin reviewing apps on May 1st.
However, one program began reviewing early, today they offered me a spot, but I have until the 12th of May to accept/decline.
All fine and dandy, but I would pick the other program over this one if they accepted me for a spot.
The problem now is, I suspect they will not review my app until the official day, and even if I do get an offer, it may not come in time with the early deadline for the other program.
Is it kosher to ask the pending school when they may have my app reviewed? I'm not asking for special treatment in having my app reviewed early, and I don't have any interest in tying up a spot for someone that may want to rotate through the other program.
I'm not sure if it's wise to let the school know I'm applying to other schools at the same time or what and I don't want to step on anyone's toes.
