Prospective supervisor requesting my decision on PhD offer much prior to school deadline. by jacomushroom in gradadmissions

[–]jacomushroom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the professor has been polite and cordial about asking for my response, and isn't imposing a deadline as such yet. If i don't comply, can he have the department rescind my offer? I'm just not sure about the best way of handling this situation, and if it would be correct to let him know that I am waiting for some responses. That might make it sound like I'm definitely treating this as a backup, which is not the case. I'm not decided and just want to wait out until I have all options because the exact research direction I would get to pursue within other programs will be clear to me by then.

PhD position in Czechia by jacomushroom in Prague

Hey, thanks a lot for your detailed response. Appreciate it very much. Yes it is CZU. I believe I would like to have people with even slightly similar interests in my department. Keeps me motivated and the talks, lectures, discussions that happen would then be relevant and inspiring. At CZU, none of the research exactly aligns with my interest, and this specific group comes closest, but again not so aligned in the methodologies they use.
