Dilemma: I currently have admits from my 2nd and 3rd ranked schools, and iv from my 1st. Both my 2nd and 3rd have indicated that they will offer the fellowship if it gets down to them. I will certainly accept and attend my 1st if accepted. However, I prefer my 3rd to the 2nd. Do you guys think it is a smart idea for me to turn down the admit from the 2nd so as to secure the fellowship from the 3rd should I get dinged by my 1st? Your 2 cent will be appreciated!
1. Depends on the schools.
2. Nothing is guaranteed even if they told you so
3. Doesn't matter now because the schools already have the rankings in hand so seeing themselves 3rd may change things. If it doesn't matter see point #1.
4. See #1 again.
5. If you miss #4 read on:
6. If you like #3 better would you attend over #2 without a fellowship?
