Does turning down acceptances effect future acceptance?

Post by Gucci Mane » Tue Apr 01, 2014 12:25 pm

If I turn down an acceptance from a law school, would it decrease of my chances of getting into that same school when applying another year? I'm afraid schools may see it as a sign of lack of interest.

Shouldn't matter, just be courteous with declining their offer.

It certainly does not effect future acceptances, otherwise people would be doing it right and left 8)

And no, definitely not. Give a legit reason for declining.

No. I am a reapplicant. I applied to every school I applied to last year and got into every school I got into last year (except with more $$$).
