do other schools know when you accepted an offer? Add Tag

Is there any way other graduate schools can find out whether you've accepted an offer? are they notified in any way?

Other schools are not notified when you've accepted an offer. However, it is expected that you'll reject all other offers as soon as you know you are not going to accept their offer. This allows them to pass offers to other candidates who hope to get in who might be holding onto offers that others want to get into.

definitely! I just did not want to accept an offer without letting the other schools know first in case they found out in some way, I felt like that would have been rude.
