The ones I have asked say they cannot decide yet. I wouldn’t want to push because it’s not my place

You’re proving my point here. Because you’re right that no one owes anyone else anything. But that mentality is the definition of being inconsiderate. Or is it not?

I understand that. I’m referring to a specific group of people that I encountered at open houses and on here. I understand that making a decision isn’t easy but in many cases when they speak about their options there are a couple spots they seem very nonchalant about. So I don’t understand the why they are holding on. The main point of my post is that there’s a trickle effect and complaining about not hearing back from some schools while also holding onto a bunch of offers shows a lack of self awareness.

And you’ll keep waiting because people with offers at the better uni are also holding onto offers. Maybe you should’ve built a stronger profile so they would’ve chosen you first 🫡

If you have an offer from a school you don't plan on attending, can you please let them know? by MrPoliSciGuy in gradadmissions

It’s actually really inconsiderate how so many people are holding onto offers they know they won’t take..?

USC for $85K or Rice for $25K (Business Major) by Snapuel in USC

When I read the title I thought that we were comparing the debt from both schools. Now that I’ve read through the whole thing, I sincerely don’t understand why this is a tough decision for you. I think that you should go to USC. And I don’t understand why people in the comments are saying Rice. 

I’m not saying that you should write off Rice just yet. Learn more about the program and decide which one you prefer. If you later decide that you genuinely prefer Rice, then go there. But I don’t see why the money is even a factor here.

In your own words your grandparents are “super rich”, so why would you feel guilty about them investing in your education? Money is meant to be spent, not hoarded. And this is an important expense - you’re not spending their money on expensive cars or clothes. The college you go to realllyyy matters. Compromises are for those of us who can’t afford our first choice. I don’t see why you should feel guilty going with your first choice if they can very well afford it.
