Accepting/Rejecting Offers

If I accept my first round offer, do I get offered another offer in round 2?

From what I gather, apparently, if your first round offer is your top preference (and you obviously accept, duh!), then you will get no second round offer, however, if your first round offer is not your first preference, but you still however accept, you still get a second round offer whether higher or lower than your first round offer? Is this correct?

I accepted my first round offer even though it was my third preference, and didn't get any more offers after that.

I'm sure that you won't get offers for lower preferences. But I think you can get higher preferences in later rounds (though I was never going to get my 1st or 2nd preferences).

Oh, okay! Thanks ninwa!

So, correct concept:
1. If your first round offer is your top preference (and you obviously accept) then you will get no second round offer.
2. On the other hand, if your first round offer is not your first preference, but you still however accept, you may still get a second round offer if one of your higher preferences are available.

So I gotta make sure my preferences are in the correct order!! :D

From my understanding, yes that's how it works.  However, since you already have an offer, the chances of you receiving another offer is pretty slim unless if the course you applied for still has vacancies after round 1 and round 2.
