So I have been searching trying to find a similar thread but haven't been able to get a clear answer on this.
I was fortunate to get a couple interviews and acceptances very early in the cycle. Afterwards I withdrew from the ones I didn't plan to attend and kept my acceptance at my favorite of those schools. I planned to attend that school until receiving an interview to a school that is local. Overall, it is a better school and one of my top choices but I was not holding my breath since there had been silence since being complete in the summer. This interview came out of nowhere and while I'm excited, I'm a little unsure of how to approach the topic of having another acceptance.
Is there a polite way I can mention that while I have another acceptance, I would 100% go to this other school if accepted, however... my time is running out as my other accept would require me to move both my life and that of my SO far away once our lease is up. Don't get me wrong- I still love the school I'm accepted to but I want to know if it is possible to convey my situation respectfully to the other school. I don't want to sound greedy or like I am rushing the adcom but also feel I should be honest if this comes up. Thanks in advance!
