<p>Just curious as to what could happen if you have sent in your deposit at a grad school but go into another one and decide to go there instead?</p>
<p>If you are funded through the Graduate School (and not through a PI’s grant money), the director of graduate studies in the department you blow off will not be pleased. </p>
<p>It is so late in the admission season that the department may lose the funded line entirely.</p>
<p>However, if you are funded through a grant the fallout will likely be less dire, and your funding may be moved to another graduate student.</p>
<p>If you are not funded at all, don’t worry. No problem.</p>
