Do you think most people holding spots at more than one school wait until May 1 before they withdraw the extra admission(s)? Personally, I am holding a spot at two different schools, and although I'm 90% sure I've made my decision, I kinda feel like, "well, I paid a lot of deposit money to give myself time to make the best decision I can, what's the rush to decide before I have to?" Only I feel bad because I know that my indecision is causing someone else, who maybe hasn't been admitted anywhere yet, to agonize over his/her future. On the flip side, I too am waiting to hear back from other schools and am hoping that other people make up their minds already! so that I can know all MY options and get decisions back from those schools I'm waiting on.
This whole game is so ridiculous. There must be an easier way...once I'm an ADEA member, I'm going to start lobbying for termination of the rolling admissions process. It needlessly drags out this whole thing and makes it very painful for applicants.
p.s. do you think we should start an "Official 'I just gave up my spot'" thread?
