Thanks! Was kind of looking all over the place, but the ones I was waiting on and the one I ended up accepting were in Guatemala and Thailand :)

Thank you for the advice! Really helpful!

I ended up directly asking if I could have until Tuesday this week to just clarify some logistical things, as well as to talk with current teachers, and they agreed kindly. Obviously this is my one and only experience and example-but wanted to share in case someone comes looking at this thread :)

I did a search and didn't find this, so sorry if I missed it!

I have an offer that I would be pretty happy with, but I am waiting on a decision from my top choice school, which they have said would come early next week.

How long have you waited before replying to an offer? Is it best to ask for a little "think time" and be up front?

Thanks for any advice!

Thanks!! :)

In case anyone is reading this and wondering the same thing, I did follow up and the principal told me she had forwarded me to the director for a final interview so that was the hold up. I heard from him today as well, so good news all around.

This is all very helpful and very much appreciated!

Ha, I imagine you're right! I just wish they'd let me know either way as I keep checking my email like a crazy person.

Hi all!

I had an interview via Skype about a week ago. I was told I'd hear news by early this week. In your experience/opinion, is following up a good idea?
