Round (X) Offers Query

    Hey there, a curiosity has occurred to me recently, and I was wondering if anyone may be able to shed a light on it as CAO are a bit slow to reply at the moment.

    Let's say that come July 3rd, or there abouts, I receive an offer from my 3rd preference. I do a little dance&celebrate, then go about securing accommodation near said course for the year.

    August rolls around & the next round of offers come along and I'm, in theory, lucky & get a higher offer. Now, the course I'm offered is the same course as before but at the different end of the country. Where does this leave me?

    I know that all higher offers precede lower ones already accepted, but what is the case if someone has a 12 month lease signed in Galway & this acceptance would have them either bankrupted from renting a second place in Cork or running the buses up and down each day at an even larger expense?

    *Please don't just say, "don't sign a lease", it's more about a question of rooting myself up again to do a course which if for a flip of a coin would have been lower then the course I was previously accepted to (equally happy with both).

    Well in that situation you don't have to accept the higher offer and you can keep with the one you already accepted
