<p>I sent my deposit to a school earlier this month, however I think I am going to go to another school.<br>
Is it true that up to May 1st I can get a refund of the deposit that I already sent?</p>
<p>I think the best source to answer this question would be the school to which you sent your deposit. You could also look at the paperwork they sent you and see what it says. I would imagine this varies from school to school.</p>
<p>Most schools say their deposit is non-refundable, but you could always ask.</p>
<p>$500 is small potatoes compared to the cost of 4 years of college. If you really think you made the wrong decision I wouldn't let a lost deposit stop you from changing schools.</p>
