Does it benefit me in any way to accept an offer sooner rather than later?

Hi guys! I've recently recieved my first acceptance letter to a Clinical Psychology program. I am still waiting to hear from 3 other schools but unless I receive a miraculous scholarship amount or something from one of these other 3 schools, I will probably end up accepting this offer I have right now. I am wondering if there is any benefit to me if I accept this offer now versus later? Or vise versa, is there any disadvantage to me if I wait another month or so to accept? Thanks in advance for your input!

I wouldn't officially accept until you are 100% sure.  I think the CGS resolution says you can back out of an offer before April 15th but I don't see the point in accepting early.  I have an idea where I want to go but I am not accepting until I am 100% sure.  On a semi-related note you can decline somewhere before you made your final decision.
