Absolutely agree with you. Apparently, however, I will have to give them an answer tomorrow. Still have 24h to think. Taking advantage of the opportunity: in your opinion what would be the biggest differences between taking a PhD in Economics in Europe and the in US? Considering that both programs are top 30 and that my research interests are in line with teachers from both schools (maybe a little advantage for the European program in this sense).

Just PMed you! Thanks. To clarify: the European school extended my deadline until next Wedsday, 27th.

Thanks cdreier! Sorry, the US school said that "until April 15th", probably before. They said that I have good odds due my position in the wl and the past non acceptance rate from previous years. In fact, they used the quote "if this year replicates the behaviour of last year, you are in". But, who knows! Good decision, but terrible timing!

Hey mates, I'm looking for advice. I've been admitted into a very good program at Europe. Very happy by the way! Besides, I'm on the waiting list of a top program in US (a dream in school in my case, top choice). I've called them, and was told that my chances are near to 100% (very good news). I'll receive news until the April 15th deadline. But they already invited me to their open house! However, the program at Europe (which I would be honored to attend) gave me until next Friday to give an answer and now I'm really anxious. In both cases I'll receive full funding. Both have great fit to my research interests and are placed in pretty good cities. I contacted the program in Europe and they did not seem very enthusiastic about giving me a few more days to think. What should I do in this case? I would feel really happy to attend the program in Europe but, if admitted in the US school, I'd rather go to America in a blink! Thank you.
