Imreadytogethurtagain Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 I know it is a little early to think about since Dal hasn't sent out their offers quite yet but as an OOP applicant, I was wondering hypothetically if I accepted an offer of admissions from Dal (which is probably getting ahead of myself), would that impact my chance of receiving an offer from the other schools I applied to? I know it sounds stupid but I remember either reading or hearing from friends that you're not allowed to hold a spot in multiple schools at once? I know you can receive offers from multiple schools but would the other schools know that I had accepted my offer from Dal and thus not even give me their offer of admissions? I ask since Dal sends out their offers so much earlier than most other schools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendar Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Your acceptance with Dal will have zero impact regarding other school decisions. A similar case happens in McGill as offers are also sent out in March, but OMSAS comes out in May, and I had zero problems last year. However, you cannot hold two acceptances at once, and schools do communicate that. Imreadytogethurtagain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Instagrammar Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Your only concern is simply losing your money from the initial deposit when withdrawing from a spot. yeeewww and Imreadytogethurtagain 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PulsusParadoxus Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Yep. I was accepted by Dal two years ago and initially waitlisted, then accepted by MUN. I decided to take MUN’s offer and I had to turn down my seat at Dal shortly after that. All that happened was that I lost $500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MashedPotato Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 I had the same question too. I will be applying to Dal and OMSAS schools in the upcoming cycle. Hypothetically speaking I get into both Dal and any ontario school (I really wish lol) , can I reject my offer from Dal in May? Does anyone know the deadline to accept dal's acceptance? Or do I have to accept the offer in March and then lose $500 if I want to accept another offer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chels1267 Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 The deadline this year to accept was April 5th I think, so yes you have to accept before OMSAS/everyone else sends out their acceptances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you have to accept Dalhousie’s offer by their deadline and then lose the Dal deposit if you accept another offer in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
