Deferring enrollment

<p>Due to various problems as well as personal choice, I'm planning on taking a gap year next year to work. Now, I have chosen which of the colleges that accepted me I'd most like to go, but I wasn't accepted into my first choice. My question is, if send in the deposit and defer enrollment, then apply to other colleges next year, would I be able to go to another college the year after even if I already said I would go to the first one?</p>

<p>I would think it works kind of like waitlists, but I can't be sure, hence the question.</p>
