Accepted at one school waitlisted at another! This is a dilemma!

Transfer Students

<p>I applied for transfer to both william and mary and university of virginia. I was accepted at w&m but waitlisted at UVA. Can i accept w&m's offer (only a $150 dollar deposit) and wait to hear from UVA? or will this seriously complicate things for me? The dean of my current university must complete a form for my transfer to w&m. all of this is so confusing. I want to transfer but I dont want to loose the opportunity to attend UVA. </p>

<p>Thank you in advance for your advice</p>

<p>As far as I know, you are allowed to deposit at W&M and then later withdraw. You won’t get your deposit back, but I don’t think it will cause any problems.</p>

<p>(I really hope this is correct, because I need to do the same.)</p>

<p>You can deposit at W&M and if you get into UVA, you can withdraw without issues. You won’t get the deposit back though.</p>

<p>Okay! Transfer014 are you an incoming junior? I am worried that my credits will not transfer and I will be stuck in undergrad for an additional semester/ I will be forced to take summer classes. Both universities impose restrictions on how many credits transfer into your major. UVA only accepts a max of 60 credit hours from outside universities.</p>

<p>I’ll be an incoming sophomore. Obviously I don’t know which courses you’ve taken, but maybe call the registrar’s office at W&M and UVA this week and ask them to give you evaluations?</p>

<p>Also, if you’re super interested in UVA, write a letter of interest or something to confirm that and do everything you can to get off the waitlist.</p>

<p>Good luck :)</p>

<p>It’s called double depositing and you should be fine if you do it.</p>

<p>You can put down your deposit and still wait… if you lose your deposit, you lose it, but you’ll then get to go where you really want to go.</p>

<p>I’m doing that now myself. I put down $150 at one school and am waiting on another.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
