Hello, I have applied to some universities in the UK plus some in the Netherlands and already have my offers, but I'm still waiting for the response of QMUL, UCL and Kings. When I asked how much time do I have to accept or decline an offer they told me "as soon as possible" which don't help me much :)
Anyone else in a similar situation or perhaps someone who's been through that?
All replies would be appreciated, since I don't want to miss an offer already received.

I know that some universities give you a period for accepting your offer or a deadline (ex: 1 month for Kings) but is they do not and you have an unconditionnal offer maybe you can wait until you receive other offers to decide.
Or, like I did last year, you can accept their offer "just in case" if you don't want to take risk. Except in LLM where there is a number of student which is very reduced, I don't think you are going to take someone's seat...

Thank you for the response. Does this mean that I can accept more than one offer in order to "secure a place" and withdraw it at a later stage because I didn't know that was possible?

Yes I think you can. Last year I accepted an offer but I could not provide my grades in time so I sent them an email explaning I had a good reason for not being able to register even if I had accepted an offer. It was not a problem for them...
As the universities are not usually linked to each other I don't see why you cannot secure a place at least in the 2 or 3 universities you are the most interested in.
Of course the issue is not the same for programs which accept only 20 to 25 people...

Thanks again for the advice, I think I'll do the same as you. It's always good to hear another one's experience. I highly appreciate it!

Losing a non-refundable deposit might be a consideration. Otherwise, I don't think there is any particular problem in accepting more than one offer.
