Please I would like to know if someone is accepted at Boston University after the telephone interview and does accept the admission offer will be bound by his decision?
In their email of acceptance they only ask if you accept or not their offer and no deposit. If you say yes to their admission offer(which is due April 1st), can you come back on your decision(for example if you are accepted in an other law school)?
Thank you
Binding or not?

I have thought a lot about this some time ago, as I was anticipating I would be pressed by a deadline without having all the decisions on my hand. The first obvious point is that it is NOT good to make a commitment to enroll and to withdraw later on. The University of Chicago, for example, clearly states that they will disclose to both your recommenders and other Law Schools that you, although having firmly committed to enroll, withdrew from their LLM.
Therefore, you should explain your situation and ask for an extension. And what if they do not grant you this extension? As a good lawyer, you should pay the deposit to save you seat, but clearly put a caveat in your acceptance: that it is not definitive, that you are still expecting other universities, or something to that effect. Of course, you will lose the acceptance fee.
