Lisa1 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Forewarning I have not been accepted anywhere and will be going on my first interview next month but I have been seeing that if you accept an acceptance that you have to notify other schools you applied to so they can withdraw your application, I'm curious if I do get accepted into this program which will be great and all but I still want to still be able to interview if given the opportunities to other programs as well, how does that work without losing a potential seat. Can someone help explain this to me, I am new to this whole process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you choose to accept an acceptance (like it was your top choice and you are 100% taking that seat), then you should let your other programs know that you have accepted a seat elsewhere so they can give that opportunity to other applicants.

Okay that makes a lot more sense, reading the other forums out there it made it seem like it was impossible to have the opportunity to interview at other places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 There is nothing wrong with getting accepted at multiple places and then deciding where to go. Once you do decide, relinquishing the other spots as soon as you can is just a good deed for everyone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
