I recently applied to two graduate schools. One which I was really excited about and one which I applied to because my spouse was applying. Well, my spouse didn’t get into either one and I didn’t get into my first choice. However, I was accepted at the second school with full funding, tuition waiver, and TA/RA position for the entire time it takes me to finish my PhD. Now, I do not want to be foolish, but my gut is arguing with my head. I am not excited about the location of the program nor necessarily the project. I fear that if I reject this offer and reapply elsewhere next year that it would reflect badly on me, and I am unsure that I would receive such a generous offer elsewhere. However, I feel that it would be worse to accept it, then quit because I am unhappy with the program. Since, I have not interviewed anywhere else I do not know if my fears are unfounded or not…? Just some advise would be greatly appreciated.
