I'm in that position right now. I accepted an offer at the only school I was accepted at, but got off the waitlist at a school with a better program and that I'd rather go to so I plan on rescinding my commitment. I talked to some professors at my current school and they said about 1 or 2 people do it every year. There's also 3 first year students I talked to who accepted offers and backed out for a different program. So with that being said, I would say it happens fairly often, but it all depends on the school and the program.

Hey guys! As of today I've heard back from every school I applied to. Rejected for 2, waitlisted at 3, and have an interview next week for the last one. I'm feeling very discouraged right now so does anyone have any advice on the big "what if I don't get in anywhere"? I know waitlist isn't the end of the world and there's still a chance to get into those schools but at this point the outlook is pretty bleak.
