415协议的背景知识

    １９９９年，美国多家大学联合制定并实施针对外国学生的“４・１５协议”，主要内容为：申请赴美留学、已拿到多个学校录取通知书的学生，必须在４月１５日前决定一所你要去的学校，否则，所有录取通知书将都被视作无效。这个“协议”的用意，是约束某个申请人同时接受多个学校的录取，但直到开学前才通知其中一些学校“无法按时就读”的不当行为。申请人的这一做法将大大影响学校正常的招生、教学秩序，也让美国每年白白放空大笔奖学金。当然，他们还损害了本国申请者的形象，为后来的申请者带来麻烦。

    “４・１５协议”主要内容在每年的４月１５日之前，申请者可以在已录取他的学校中任意选择一家就读，但明确答复所选大学的时间应不晚于４月１５日，还应尽可能早地把自己的决定通知别的学校。

    留足时间，将已经收到录取通知书但决定拒绝的学校的各类录取资料，包括Ｉ－２０表格，在４月１５日之前寄回（材料不一定要在４月１５日之前到达被拒学校，但事先必须用电子邮件通知学校）。

    如果在接受一所学校的录取之后反悔，受损害的学校有权请求所有签署“４・１５协议”的其他大学拒收该生。
