提早回應admission - 留學

前陣子放榜的時候 拿到了CMU ECE的AD(with Fellowship)

原本信件中是希望 4/15前回覆就好

可是今天收到一封信 是一位教授寄來的信件如下
----------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you have already received the PhD offer for joining my group
in Fall 2014. Not sure if you have any additional questions
but if you do please let me know.

Also, I'd like to hear whether or not you plan to accept my offer
so I can plan accordingly. I have several exciting projects going on so
I need to hear one way or another from you; in case, you do not
plan to accept this offer, pls. let me know so I can
admit other students from my waiting list.

Hope you'll decide to join my group.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
--------------------------------------------------------------

所以是要我提早回覆他的意思

不過我拿到AD的時候

我收到的內容有一段是

Professor XXXX(那位教授的名字) has offered to serve as your
initial point of contact. Please feel free to contact him, or me,
if you have any questions or would like further information
about our program. Your faculty contact will also help you choose
an academic program (e.g. fall semester classes) before you are
paired with an advisor.

所以我原本以為我的指導就是不一定是他 可以自己選其他的教授

但現在收到教授的信讓我好意外.....

其實我收到AD之後都還沒聯絡這位教授

所以請問我是否一定要找這位教授 如果我選擇CMU的話

我如果直接寄信問他這件事情，好嗎?

而且這位教授似乎希望我提早做決定....原本我收到offer中有說明 可以4/15決定

目前我還是想等到三月底四月的時候再決定，老師覺得我可以直接跟他說明我的想法嗎?

雖然對於這位老師的研究有興趣...但我還是想繼續等其他間通知


順便問另一個問題

請問現在如果EE ECE EECS沒有獲得通知 是不是能當作rejection了??

那這樣我還真的是慘><"
