Hi guys,
I also applied to a couple US, UK, and Carribean schools and is planning to apply to OVC. OVC is my top choice, however, I did want to have a back up plan.
US and UK school acceptance deadline is around April, however, I won't know about OVC probably until June. Is it possible to accept an international school first then decline it for OVC?
Am I even allowed to accept anything before OVC interviews? Or will they see it and will decline me?
I am a little confused and worried.
Thanks for any insight.

Hi reb77,
I had a very similar situation! I applied to and was accepted to two international schools (both in the UK) as backups in case OVC didn't work out. I was accepted to both. The one didn't need me to confirm I'd accepted their offer, I was basically in until I told them otherwise or didn't pay any fees. The other one I spoke with directly about my intentions after being accepted, and they were fine to wait for OVC results as well before we finalized my offer.
Long story short--no worries about applying internationally and being accepted. You shouldn't have to accept offers immediately, but even if you do, just don't pay them any money until you hear from OVC if you can, and hang tight if possible. Even if, worst case scenario, you HAVE to accept an offer before June, again, if you don't pay any fees you won't be trapped in that acceptance.
And finally, I don't believe OVC would have any way of knowing you have applied to and/or have been accepted to other schools (and I don't think it would matter even if they did), so I wouldn't sweat it.
Hope that helped! Good luck.

edit: sorry I forgot I did actually have to officially accept the first offer and pay a deposit fee! So I did lose money there. But hopefully that is further reassurance that you can accept an offer to another school, and still get into OVC.

Hi! So to clarify can we apply to international schools, accept the offer and still wait for OVC in June? would applying internationally and accepting hurt the chance of getting into OVC? Thanks!
