Before I begin, I just want to say that I am truly grateful to be in such a situation. I hope that everyone still waiting to hear back soon receives the same magical phone call / email that I have been so fortunate to have received myself!
After spending most of september interviewing at various schools, I have heard back from 3 so far : 2 acceptances and a high spot on a waitlist. I am unsure where to proceed from here. SDN helped me 2 years ago when I switched career interests and didn't even know what a residency was, and I'm hoping you guys can help me now!
Basically, what is proper etiquette when dealing with multiple acceptances?
Is it "rude" to put in deposits to all acceptances if I am still deciding?
What about if one is a clear cut choice over the other? Do I have anything to lose by withdrawing my acceptance from the second school?
What about when contacting schools that I'm waitlisted at later in the cycle? Is it viewed as rude/pretentious to say something like " hey, ive already received X acceptances to other schools which i am immensely grateful for, but I would turn them all down in a heartbeat for your school"?
When can other schools see where else you're accepted? Can they see if I were to withdraw an acceptance from somewhere?
Theres a lot of questions here, I know. Any and all help would be appreciated! Thank you SDN for everything
