Hi

The situation - This morning I received a PhD studentship offer which I intended to accept. This afternoon I received an invitation to an interview for a different studentship at a different uni (which I didn't think I'd get because it's been quite a while since I applied). Long story short I'm not 100% sure which I'd take if I were to be offered both (might make another thread about pros/cons of them later) so was thinking I'd wait a little while to see whether I actually get an offer for the second, before accepting to the first...

But would it look bad if I took such a long time to respond (given that the other interview is scheduled 12 days from now and of course I wouldn't get their decision on the day)

I'm not sure if I'm getting a bit over-stressed about this at the moment but if anyone can share their thoughts on this I'd really appreciate.

Did they give you any indication of an acceptance deadline in the interview or letter? You can always accept and then decline later if required.
