Since May 1st is the deadline to confirm your answer, but you’re waiting for the appeal letter to give a notification if they accept me or not and the date appeal letter will notification after May 1st. So I accept this CSU college today May 1st, but next day May 2nd UC said they accept me and me decide to go this UC not CSU anymore. Can I change my mind?
You could I guess but notify the first school your not going to go there anymore. Tomorrow is the second but you already know your accepted or is this a hypothetical question? You would most likely lose your deposit for your first school if one was put down.
Yes, you can decline a college’s offer after May 1 if you are accepted somewhere else.
Many students don’t find out whether they’re admitted off the waitlist at their top choice(s) until late May or even June, so colleges are used to students turning them down after submitting a SIR and putting down a deposit.
Does it harm me since I said yes to CSU because my name is on their file, but I decide to change and reject CSU because I’m afraid there might be some consequences like if reject this CSU and will UC said to me you’ll have to wait another year or you not able to go UC because you reject the CSU you accept.
Why would a UC send you an offer after May 1st then punish you for accepting it at the earliest possible date?
You may lose your deposit at CSU, but unlikely there are any other consequences.
You can change your mind and not go to any school you accept. It happens often. A lot of people in your situation. It’s considered a given part of college admissions process. There will a lot of kids changing their minds as other choices pop up especially as the waitlist notifications come out.
As noted above, you’ll likely lose any deposit you made.

No ramifications other than losing your deposit. I would assume well over 99% of students who come off of the waitlists anywhere have already sent in a deposit to their second choice school. Everyone involved knows how it works.
