Does turning down an Acceptance affect your future acceptance into Residencies?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
If you were accepted to a med school now, will turning it down hurt your chance of getting into a residency program there?

No. I have no idea how they would even know in the first place. Even if they did, I doubt they would care.

Unless of course you do something absolutely crazy to turn them down that they will remember you four years later.
 
doubt it.


Residency directors are not always adcoms etc, and if they were I doubt they would hold grudges.

If you lied or pissed someone off I could imagine it could, but it still is far-fetched.
