2 Week Deadline to Accept MBA Admission

I applied to 4 schools. 3 US schools round 2, and one Asian school (HKUST) round 1. I was accepted to the Asian school, and I'll be receiving my official acceptance next week. They said I'll have 2 weeks from the official acceptance to accept or decline the offer. Is this normal? I haven't heard anything back from the other schools yet, so I think I'm going to decline.

 

Two weeks is shorter than what you'd be offered in the U.S. Most have a "sell" day for those that were accepted that is before the deadline.

Most U.S. schools will at some point require a down payment to keep your spot (anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000...I can't really remember) that goes to your tuition if you matriculate, but as long as you are willing to forfeit that, the true deadline really isn't until you pay the first term tuition, which is typically right before classes start.
