    Send acceptance to more than one university?

    Dropping a course is very different than dropping a program. No one cares if you say "I want to take DiffEqs next semester rather than now." However, if you tell a school that you are attending their program, then reneg on that, it makes you look unstable and untrustworthy, not to mention that...

    Has anyone heard from Georgia Tech QCF (fall 2011 applicants)?

    Lonely - I am really curious where you are getting this information? This is not my understanding at all and I feel like I know the program pretty well.

    Has anyone heard from Georgia Tech QCF (fall 2011 applicants)?

    Lonely - You are laughably incorrect. This idea that the top schools are far and beyond above the rest regarding education is just wrong. The difference is really in networking and resources.

I mean seriously, the difference between an 800 and a 790 is coughing at the wrong time. It's a terrible reason...

    I wish I could help, but I have no real insight into this. I think it is possible, but probably decreasing exponentially by day. Looking at last year's data from QuantNet, it seems that most people received notice by mid January with interview by the end of January. Receipt of acceptance comes...
