Accept then reject

[virtua]

Guys, I have been offered Research Assistantship. And there are some problems which make very doubtful on deciding whether to accept the offer or not. Let`s say I accept it, and I do all the necessary procedures (sign the letter, get I-20 and etc.) and later because of some problems I reject it. What would happen?

 

p.s. I`m international student

Basically nothing would happen. Although it's very not recommended to accept then reject an offer. It ruins the school's planning and probably it's not good for someone from your country who later applies to the same program. If you already have an I-20 issue you would have to request your international student office to release your SEVIS number to the new school (that you decide to attend).

Nothing would happen. You'd look like a jerk and burn a bridge in the process, but there's not actually a consequence.
