Being accepted at more than 1 school - Clin Psych

[prospectclin]

I'm sure this question has been asked a thousand times but I'm applying to Clinical Psych programs and I'm curious to know how people handle being accepted to more than one program. Clinical is unique in that I think you hear from the prof you applied to about a decision directly. So my question is - if you hear back from your second or third choice that you've been accepted - do you just wait to get back to them? I'm worried it will impact the relationship if you take too much time to get back...

There is usually a deadline that they give, so as long as you are within that deadline, you are fine. Also, I think the stats estimate that an individual has about a 1-3% of acceptance into any 1 program and a ~10% chance of being accepted at all to a clinical psych PhD.

Clinical psychology PhD programs will not force you to make a decision until April 15th (http://www.cgsnet.org/april-15-resolution) but both programs and fellow applicants would appreciate that you release any offers you are not seriously considering much sooner.
