Deposits are due by May 1st for most colleges. Does anyone know if schools would notify those who are waitlisted before this date?
Some may, but others won’t. When my D applied, she deposited at a school after receiving all her decisions, but was later taken off a waitlist for a school she preferred in early June. She notified the first school and forfeited her deposit.
Do not wait to deposit at a school where you have been admitted if you are also waiting on a waitlist.
