Choices....Confused

It's the MPH management program at Columbia.....I don't know if that makes any difference. I tried to defer, but they're not accepting deferals this year so that's not even an option.

I agree with your family. If you went through all that to get there why not try it and see how it is, the good thing is that you'll always have the option to leave. You really have nothign to lose.

I am very confused and I'm really hoping some of you will be able to help me especially since April 15th is right around the corner. I was planning to go to grad school this fall 2012, so I started applying, and got into the schools I applied to. The only thing competing is the possibility of a new job. Since grad school is so expensive, if I got a got job I would definitely prefer the job over school. The chances of getting a job before April 15th are slim to none. Is it possible to accept then decline my offer to this school if I get a job? I also would not want to hurt my chances in the future because I really like this school/program and may like to go in the future.
