美国研究生院415协议解读（下）-新东方前途出国

If a student accepts an offer before April 15 and subsequently desires to withdraw that acceptance, the student may submit a written resignation of the appointment at any time through April 15. Applicants are not required to obtain a formal release from the program whose offer they accepted, either before or after the April 15 deadline. Once applicants have informed the program that they are withdrawing their acceptance of the offer, they then can accept any other offers. However, an acceptance given or left in force after April 15 commits the student to first inform the program that they are withdrawing or resigning from the offer of financial support that they previously had accepted.

大致释义如下：

如果学生在4月15日之前接受了录取，随后希望撤回该决定，那么学生就可以在4月15日之前的任何时间提交书面放弃申请。无论是4月15日之前还是之后，申请人无需获得之前接受过录取的项目的正式释放通知。一旦申请人通知该项目他们放弃接受录取的决定，他们即可以接受其余的录取。而在此之前，申请人必须在收到之前接收录取的项目的正式同意，才可以再接受其他项目的录取。如果没有获得原项目的允许，学生擅自接受了其他项目的录取，原学校有权通知参与415协议的大学拒绝或撤回对你的录取。

415协议的这项改变是从2020年秋天开始实施的，不再强求申请人从原录取项目获得正式允许再接受别的项目录取。Starting in Fall 2020, applicants are no longer required to obtain a formal release from the program whose offer they accepted, either before or after the April 15 deadline.
