<p>Hi!
I'm applying to both American and British universities.
Let's assume I'm admitted to some colleges in the USA and in the UK.
I need to reply to British universities offers by May 8th. But these offers will be conditional because I won't know my high school final examinations results until June.
If I'm admitted to some American colleges, then I need to confirm my place at the uni and pay deposit in May and my high school examinations don't matter in this case.
What happens if my June results meet British universities requirements and I decide it's better for me to attend one of the British universities?
Is the confirmation and paying deposit binding in the US? Can I still withdraw from the university? Thank you in advance for your help!:)</p>
<p>British universities sucks!!!
apply to U.S. ,because you will get every facility equal to natives there but in U.K. you will be suffered from racialism since there is lake of diversities .
don’t care about your results ,if you are selected they will give you your time to submit your transcript;and if your examination is conducted by state board or city board you don’t need transcript only a copy of your results would be enough .</p>
<p>The scenario you describe occurs for American students who decide to accept a place on a waiting list, specifically:</p>
<p>(1) It’s April 1. They are accepted by college 1
(2) At the same time they are waitlisted by college 2.
(3) They prefer college 2 to college 1. So they accept the offer from college 1. This means they pay a deposit to college 1 – typically an amount in the order of $1000.
(4) They advise college 2 that they “accept” their place on the waitlist.
(5) It’s June 15. College 2 accepts them off the waitlist.
(6) They accept the offer from College 2. They advise College 1 that they are no longer interested in attending thereby declining the offer from College 1.
(7) They forfeit the deposit they made to college 1. They make a deposit to college 2,
(8) Etc.</p>
<p>In your case college 1 is the US university, and college 2 is the UK university.</p>
<p>@fogcity - Thank you!
I was afraid that maybe paying the deposit is binding (like accepting ED offer from some universities) but in the worst case I’ll just lose some money.</p>
<p>and no ‘‘thank-you’’ to me he…he…</p>
