Hey everyone! I have a random question and am wondering if anyone else is in a similar situation and could offer some clarification/guidance.
I was accepted to one program that I liked but waitlisted at my top program. I checked with the program director and I am still on the waitlist. I am wondering if I accept the offer I received, and then I am later accepted off the waitlist at my top school (after the April 15th deadline), is it unethical to back out on the acceptance? Of course, I am not sure if this would even happen, but I am just wondering if anyone has heard anything from mentors/current students about this as I am sure a lot of people will receive offers after April 15th.
