Required to Accept Accelerated FT Offer?

I've been told that if you participate in accelerated full-time processes, if you're given the offer, you are supposed to accept. In some way, kind of like an early decision application to a college.

Is this true?

No.

Any extended offer that is not accepted doesn't make the offerer happy. But you have to think what is best for you.
