I have been accepted to Oregon State U, but still waiting on University of WA (which doesn’t release acceptances until March). Would accepting OSU now be problematic if UW sends me an acceptance letter in March? If I need to rescind my acceptance, any tips on that process I should be aware of? Or should I hold off on formal acceptance reply to OSU until March when I learn whether UW accepts me?
From what I understood you should accept any scholarships and sign up for dorm rooms now. You can pay the $200 acceptance fee and there is a refund period up to May 1st.
There isn’t a huge benefit to commiting to OSU now, and it’ll be a headache to withdraw your enrollment deposit later. Keep your options open for now.
