<p>I would like to attend either Northwestern or University of Michigan, and my choice depends basically solely on results from my scholarship applications in my home country (Sweden). I will not hear from the scholarships until late May - mid June, so I will not be able to decide which I will be able to attend before the deposit deadlines. </p>
<p>Can I accept my place at both UMIch and Northwestern? And later in mid June, I will choose which I will attend?</p>
<p>No, you can only accept a place at one school, unless you ask the schools for an extented time due to your situation.</p>
<p>Have not found anything that states this though. Do you have anything? Links?</p>

Says nothing about that accepting more schools will get your acceptance revoked.</p>
<p>It is perfectly fine for you to contact these two universities and to ask for an extension until you have heard about the scholarships from your home country. In a case like yours, this request is not unusual. Most of the time, the universities are agreeable to this kind of request.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>The practice of declaring your intent to enroll at ONE University is a courtesy, not a legal requirement. If your financial situation prevents you from making a rational choice by May 1, then </p>
<p>1) extend each University the opportunity to extend your SIR date, explaining your financial circumstances. A short, two sentence email.</p>
<p>If this fails, then by all means SIR to both Universities. In a way, you can view this as repaying their discourtesy with your own.</p>
<p>How would the other school know?</p>
