applying for a loan

Options
hi, if I apply for a loan that offers say a rate of 3% interest (but they only have to offer this to 51% of the applicants) , they accept my application but offer a higher rate of interest  of say 4.5%(I e. I'm one of the 49%),  I decide i do t want this so decline it, will this affect my credit rating???
