Hi and thank you both for the reply.
To be honest, I have been doing some research on this "up and coming" business school, and have read similar concerns from other students who have received an acceptance call/email as well as a scholarship offer, but then put under immense pressure to decide in less than 2 weeks. I am somewhat "iffy" about this school - seeing mixed reviews from current students.
I am awaiting replies from 2 other schools (which would have been my top 2) but I don't expect to hear from them 'til the middle of May, as I just recently submitted my application. I am fairly confident in my acceptance to at least one of these 2 other schools, but I don't want to turn this one down until something else comes in.
I voiced my concern about the short turnaround time for the decision when they first called me, and they made it pretty clear that it is a firm date. I will try to speak to someone else if my "rep" doesn't budge.
Thank you for the replies.....I was just trying to get an idea of what the norm is.
And yes....I am still very grateful to have received an acceptance from at least one school
Well, is having the option open to attend this school that you are iffy about worth 3500 to you?
First off, try to get an extension on time. If they dont give you one answer that question.
Personally, I wouldn't attend a school I was iffy about. Talk to some current students and alumns, either to calm your nerves, or to confirm you suspicions for sure. You have 9 days to make one of the most important decisions in your life(well, the first step), do your due dilligence
