<p>Should you pay the deposit even though you may not go to Mich? Is it binding?</p>
<p>it isn't refundable, but it isn't binding. I haven't heard of any benefits to submitting it early, as long as its in before the housing stuff starts up you will be fine.</p>
<p>Finance, although it is not binding, you need not pay it until April.</p>
<p>i hate it when they say "secure your spot in the freshman class!" in the emails, etc.--makes me feel antsy. but yeah, don't need to decide if you still have some RD schools in the works</p>
<p>I am not sure of the exact timing, but the $ 200 enrollemtn deposit needs to be submitted serveral weeks before the housing lottery - it takes some time to be processed. You cannot submit it the day before the housing lottery. It says all this in the admissions packet - check it out just to be sure you are okay for housing. </p>
<p>We have submitted the deposit for my d - it is non refundable, but it is not binding. Between now & August, there will still be students changing their minds based on personal reasons, financial reasons, waitlists, etc. This is not like ED.</p>
<p>When's the housing lottery?</p>
