<p>Because I am a transfer student, some of the colleges I am looking at have different transfer deadlines. Two schools I am looking at have deadlines around the normal time frame- Dec/Jan, but my top school's deadline is all the way in April and I wouldn't find out about my acceptance until June. I know double depositing is a big no-no and can risk your acceptance for both schools, so I was wondering if it would be ok to deposit to ONE of second choice schools in Jan, and if I get into to my top choice in June, would it be ok/ethical/legal to revoke my deposit from the first college, lose my money :/, and then once everything is cleared at said school and I am no longer set to attend, put in my deposit at my TOP choice. I hope my question makes since and I would REALLLLLY appreciate any help. Thanks guys!</p>
<p>Sure, its what people do when they get off the waitlist. Those kids enroll in college A, having sent in only 1 deposit. Happy news arrives from school B that they’re off the waitlist, it’s a place they’d prefer to go, so they send in a deposit to B and let A know they will not be coming. The deposit is their non-alumni gift to A.</p>
<p>You’d be doing the same thing. After all there’s no guarantee the college in Junes will accept you, and if you didn’t accept one of the earlier colleges you wouldn’t have a college to attend.</p>
