<p>on wa when i click view decision below the congrats you were accepted stuff there is a button that says "respond now" if i click it will i be committing to UMich or just saying that i will pay by $200 deposit but not binding</p>
<p>You have to click a button saying that you will attend UMich before it will let you pay the deposit.</p>
<p>It's supposed to be binding but technically you can pay the money and if you want to matriculate to another school, you just lose the 200 bucks. However i have to warn you.. this is more with the privates, like the ivies, but i have heard of the publics blackballing kids who pay the enrollment, but then skip out. You might wanna call and ask, if they straight out tell you it's ok, then go ahead, but if they sound kinda iffy, i would look into it more.</p>
<p>thanks for your responses. do you know if there is any advantage to paying it early rather than waiting until i hear from my RD schools. I'm pretty sure im going to Umich but there is one reach school i applied to RD that if i got into i might consider over Umich. I just dont want to wait to pay my down payment and miss out on good housing or something.</p>
<p>Exactly same question I have.
Do we have freedom to chose other RD school after pay deposit?
Or deposit=commitment?</p>
<p>I am applying to LSA. Are the major choices on the UM application binding? Will my major choice on the application affect my future major choice in any way?</p>
