I was just wondering what kind of back-up options people have. Hopefully, come march, we'll all be admitted into our top choices programs with nice fellowships and all the perks . However, especially as an international student, I have to take into consideration the small
chance that this might not happen. I have some job offers now, but I doubt they would wait until March to know my final decision, and I'd rather not lie about my preferences... Hence, I'm really confused as to how to handle this.
Any suggestions? How is everyone else dealing with this possibility?
