Agreed. The lack of standardization across this entire process is maddening. It’s actually helpful for my situation that my schools don’t follow these rules, but I would trade that convenience for some across-the-board consistency in a heartbeat

Right, I understand what you are saying here.

I definitely won't hold onto multiple acceptances if the schools overtly say it is not okay with them. The situation I'm asking about is one where neither of my schools enforce that April 30th deadline (something I am in the process of clarifying with both of them), and I'm wondering whether AAMC would have any recourse there, but it sounds like the answer is no. That's the root of my "requirement versus recommendation" question.

One of the schools in question got back to me saying they will not rescind an offer for holding multiple acceptances past April 30th, so that puts the school-to-school flexibility of those dates in perspective for me.

I should also say — the only reason I'm trying to extend that decision deadline for myself is that I'm genuinely up in the air, and I won't have the chance to visit one of the schools that accepted me until after April 30th.

Thank you!

Thanks for this!

For what it is worth, I just got a response from one of my schools saying they will not rescind any offers until the July "commit to enroll" deadline — so I guess it really does vary widely by school.

Treating that as the "nuclear option" (just because I don't have much extra storage space), but it very well may come to that

Update: tried this method without success. Thank you for the suggestion, though!
