<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>Before I seek the wisdom of this board (I admit that I've been a long-time lurker!), on behalf of all college applicants this year I'd just like to thank all the CC veterans for providing such helpful advice and reassurance about applications :). </p>
<p>After a few weeks of nervous/excited anticipation and paranoid mail-checking, I'm happy to say that I've emerged from the minefield of uni applications clutching two fantastic offers that I've dreamt of for a long time - a PPE offer at Oxford and an acceptance to Yale. I'm still waiting for a formal letter from Oxford, but I'm predicting a conditional offer of about 40-42 IB points. Having to choose where to attend's gonna be one of the hardest, yet happiest choices of my life ;).</p>
<p>But anyway, moving onto the question (sorry, I tend to ramble sometimes!) --- for the time being, am I allowed to accept offers from both Oxford and Yale and then reject one once my IB results come out? </p>
<p>With the UCAS system in Britain, you have to pick a "firm" choice and an "insurance" choice (if you don't make the requirements of your "firm), and in the US you're only allowed to accept a final place from just one American university. However, neither seemed to explicitly mention accepting offers from unis in other countries....I was also curious because Yale said in a letter that I can't accept a "confirmed place", but I'm not sure if Oxford's offer (it's subject to getting specific exam results, so technically maybe it's not "confirmed"?) falls under that category.</p>
<p>Sorry if I've confused anyone with my long post! I wasn't sure which forum to post this under, but I'm hoping that other international students might have faced (or are facing) this dilemma. Thanks in advance for any responses!</p>
