When should I turn down an offer? After receiving a better offer, or after formally accepting the better offer?
Currently I have an offer from firm A, have done a CB with firm B last week, and have a CB scheduled next week with firm C. My personal preferance is B = C > A. So if I receive an offer from B this week, is it safe to turn down A before accepting B (I still want to compare B and C)?
I kind of feel guilty if I drag A for 4 weeks before turning it down.

After receiving an offer you know you will accept over this one.
That is, after you know you will be turning it down.

Re: When to turn down an offer?
I would go even further and formally accept/receive the written confirmation of acceptance before turning down all your other offers. They'll have to wait 2-3 days more at most, but compared to the 45 days some students from prior years used to make them wait it's really not that bad...kahechsof wrote:After receiving an offer you know you will accept over this one.

Re: When to turn down an offer?
How important is this? I think it will not be feasible in my situation because all my other offers will expire within days of when I accept. Should I be worried? Has anyone accepted an offer and then have the firm retract later??kahechsof wrote:Yes, make sure you have the letter.Anonymous User wrote:I would go even further and formally accept/receive the written confirmation of acceptance before turning down all your other offers.
