Got Into Ubc Ot But Waiting To Hear Back From Other Programs

[thedarknight]

Hello!

I just got my admissions offer to UBC OT which I have to accept by April 19th, but I have also applied to UBC's undergraduate med program which doesn't release decisions till May.

Does anyone know or if you've been in a similar boat, is it okay to withdraw from a graduate program after accepting the offer and accepting an undergraduate offer?

 

Thanks!

Hey! I am in the exact same boat. People do it all the time. Usually you need to give a deposit to secure your spot, and then you forfeit that money when you withdraw from your spot but so far I have not seen a deposit for OT (although I have only scanned it).

I believe the non-refundable deposit is $300 to secure your spot

Okay cool, same I applied to some OT programs in Ontario!

 

I emailed ubc med to make sure it's okay to accept an offer to a graduate program. They said as long I don't start the program before Sept 2017, it's okay to withdraw!
