I have received 2 conditional masters offers from different universities. After being advised by friends/family that it is very common for people to accept more than one course while deciding and waiting for my final results to come out, I conditionally accepted both. Is this common practice or am I blocking another student receiving an offer? Any help would be greatly appreciated
