Thank you, rising_star. Thanks for your vivid and kind reply, and I feel more relief about visa now.

Sorry, your name should be TakeruK. Thank you TakeruK!

Thank you, Cup o' Joe. Your reply was remarkably informative and amazing! On one hand, I did want to make preparations for some worse case scenarios and tried to apply for some graduate school when I was not fully prepared before reading your reply . On the other hand, visa may not so easy to get in some cases , even if you have got a funding. That should depend on your nationality, educational background (students who were majored in nuclear, weapons, aviation, and some other majors related with national defense and security may have some troubles in getting their visas ), intended major and college in the U.S., and surely your performance in visa interview (in my country), and many of my friends, who were in the same major with me, had been rejected before. Therefore, I created this topic for helps, and your explicit answers had made the risks and consequences clear to me. Thanks again !

Your opinions are really helpful , and thank you very much!

Please delete this post, thanks!

Hello everybody, I would like to give an example to illustrate my problems: Suppose that I get the PhD admittance with either fellowships or other financial aids from University A and B in U.S. this year, and I take the offer from University A and reject that from University B before Apr. 15. However unfortunately, for some personal reasons, such as family, VISA rejection (I am not a native U.S. resident), health, and girlfriend, etc, I cannot register for University A timely. Therefore, I have to apply again for the next year's admittance of University A and B, and my questions are: 1. Will my rejection of University B in the first year have impact on their decision on me in the next year? 2. Will University A deny to give me admittance again for my registration failure in the first year? 3. Or their decisions in the second year should depend on their policies on these situations? Then could I ask for their policies before applying? From whom, the secretary? Thank you for viewing and replying!
