Can I accept two grad school offers?
Never Hold on Two or More Offers Some applicants prefer to hold on to all admissions offers and make a decision once they have heard from all graduate programs. Deciding among three or more offers of admission, considering all of the pros and cons, is overwhelming and can impair decision-making.
Can you defer PhD acceptance?
Yes, it is possible to defer. It is not uncommon in fact. But it is up to the individual program to determine if a deferral meets their program needs. So you need to request it, and approval is not assured, although most programs will be accommodating to such requests if they can be.
How long do I have to accept a grad school admission?
The first thing you need to know is that all graduate schools (at least in the US) subscribe to a national acceptance deadline of April 15. (In case that wasn’t clear, all grad schools agree to give you until April 15 to accept or deny their offer.)

It depends on what you mean by “ok”. Most graduate schools accept many fewer students than the corresponding undergraduate program, and for a PhD program you may be getting accepted into a particular professor’s laboratory. There are two negative ramifications of changing your mind.

Is it possible to get a postdoc at the first university?
As far a postdocs concerned, in the first university there is no chance I ever get a postdoc since they do not actually do research on my area (except for the prospective supervisor and even he not as much). UPDATEI have decided to do as I was afraid to.
