我的情况415适用么

linggerpan

 网上看了很多的415，还不是很肯定，现在是这样子： A学校415之前给了AD,然后415之后给了奖学金，我是415之后才接受然后交了deposit的，现在学校B给我AD了，我可以拒掉学校A然后去学校B么，会违反415协议么？ 这两个大学都是415的member。。。

大家给我分析下吧，

4.15协议原文:

Acceptance of an offer of financial support (such as a graduate scholarship, fellowship, traineeship, or assistantship) for the next academic year by a prospective or enrolled graduate student completes an agreement that both student and graduate school expect to honor. In that context, the conditions affecting such offers and their acceptance must be defined carefully and understood by all parties.

Students are under no obligation to respond to offers of financial support prior to April 15; earlier deadlines for acceptance of such offers violate the intent of this Resolution. In those instances in which a student accepts an offer before April 15, and subsequently desires to withdraw that acceptance, the student may submit in writing a resignation of the appointment at any time through April 15. However, an acceptance given or left in force after April 15 commits the student not to accept another offer without first obtaining a written release from the institution to which a commitment has been made. Similarly, an offer by an institution after April 15 is conditional on presentation by the student of the written release from any previously accepted offer. It is further agreed by the institutions and organizations subscribing to the above Resolution that a copy of this Resolution should accompany every scholarship, fellowship, traineeship, and assistantship offer.

我的理解是:

首先,4.15协议是针对获得offer(graduate scholarship, fellowship, traineeship, or assistantship)奖学金的研究生而言.

其次,1,学生没有义务一定要在4.15之前回答offer,早于4.15要求回答是对4.15协议的冒犯.

        2,如果学生在4.15之前接受了offer,但是随后又想取消这个offer,学生可以在4.15当天向学校递交据offer信.

        3,4.15之后学生仍然可以接受其他学校的offer,但是要取得前面给offer学校的书面同意.

        4,同样的,其他4.15之后的offer被认可的条件是学生回绝了所有先前学校的offer.

你是4.15之前被录取,4.15之后给的奖学金,并且是4.15之后答复学校的,依照上面的说法,你的情况不在4.15协议之内.不过稳妥起见你可以向A校咨询下,一般4.15协议的话在OFFER信里会有提示的,比如4.15之前决定之类的说法.

MBA申请好像没有415这一说。有不少人五六月份从更好的学校的waitlist下来后（拿到ad)拒掉了原来交deposit的学校。
