I think you should ask this in academia.stackexchange.com. More people there know how to appropriately reply the email. In my opinion, you should just send an email to them or call them directly asap to explain the situation.GT wrote:I got accepted to a university for Phd program. About two days after receiving the acceptance letter, I sent an email that said I appreciated that and I would make my decision as soon as possible. But they misunderstood that I accepted offer.
I am still wating for results from other universities.... What shoud I do?

I don't think so. According to thegradcafe, they send out offers sporadically but relatively more in early Feb. Also, there are very few posters even going back to 2014xiaozs1995 wrote:Do NYU come in one time or not?hans_k_ wrote:I can feel the NYU wave coming. Take me with you

Re: Fall 2017 Sweat Thread
I'll give you 1, 4, and 5, but 3 is a plus for some people (point being, it's subjective) and 2 is not true in comparison to other large cities in the U.S. The murder rate is higher than that of many cities in Europe and Canada, but as a New Yorker I find "dangerous" an amusing descriptorverysweetjuices wrote:What appeals to you about living in NYC?hans_k_ wrote:I can feel the NYU wave coming.

Re: Fall 2017 Sweat Thread
So I've heard someone got waitlisted at MIT. I'm taking this as a sign that anyone who hasn't gotten anything back yet probably shouldn't be hopeful for an acceptance letter? I don't want to jump to rash conclusions though. (pure math btw)

Re: Fall 2017 Sweat Thread
Madison has a very strong math department. Ranked about the same as UT Austin--not a top 10, but top 20, and they have an excellent algebra group. They received over 400 applicants this year, so they're kind of forced to reject a lot of deserving candidates.verysweetjuices wrote: I got rejected from UW Madison as well.

I already have a bachelors degree in pure mathematics. I am currently studying for my masters. If I was just accepted to a university for PhD, can I still attend if I don't graduate my masters program because I don't finish my thesis?
Re: Fall 2017 Sweat Thread
Did you put in your application that you are expecting to graduate your masters? If so, then you have to graduate (at least for American Universities)--they will ask for a diploma and official transcript after you accept their offer (it was so in many of my friends' cases). It would be better to defer their offer for 1 year if they allow you to do so, and you don't expect to graduate this year.420math wrote:I already have a bachelors degree in pure mathematics.

If you're applying to a Canadian uni for the PhD, no. You must finish the MSc.
If you're applying to an American uni for the PhD, yes.
