<p>May 1 deadline for school decision is approaching soon, buy I still have no decision yet... </p>
<p>My choice now pretty much narrows to a prestigious private university or a very good State University with significant scholarship. The problem is still money. My family is engaging some small business transaction and borrowing, the result will not be clear until next 2-3 months. If not successful then my family would not support me to go private university.</p>
<p>Question is: Can I make deposit to both Universities so that I could delay my final decision until August? I see some students doing that. What is consequence or what would be happened If I do so? Thanks for any advice.</p>
<p>read your paperwork carefully. some schools make no mention of it being a problem while others claim they can rescind your admission if you make multiple deposits (though i doubt it happens). if either of your schools has such a policy i would call and explain your situation. im sure both would understand.</p>
<p>I checked and none of Schools mentioned. Can I say it is safe to do so now? </p>
<p>If I call I guess the private university probably would be ok but I am concerned about the state university since its full scholarship is so competitive and many more are on the waiting list. </p>
<p>In addition, how does one school know your deposit on another school? Is it just involved with moral issue or legal ones? I know it is tough. Thanks.</p>
