I got an email from POI that I am wait listed as the program gives only two offers in this year.. Although this program is one of my best choices, I still have other opportunities to choose.. How much could I rely on this suggestion? Although the POI sent me an generous mail that they are impressed with my activities, it is difficult for me to bear the uncertainty.. I would like to ask current phd students and other candidates, how should I handle this situation. :cold:
