<p>Hello, I recently decided to enroll into three different colleges in order to increase my prospects of getting into an engineering major. The colleges are University of Delaware, University of Houston, and the University of Texas at San Antonio in a CAP program to University of Texas at Austin.</p>
<p>The problem is that I recently found out that its called "Double Depositing" and considered to be very unethical. What do I do now? I know I have to tell two universities that I changed my mind, but I still can't decide which university is the best for me. Is it a good idea to leave this until the 29th, or 30th, or should I advise the colleges immediately?</p>
<p>"With my signature below, I verify that this is the only deposit I am making. I understand that I risk forfeiture of my offer of admission if I submit deposits to more than one institution concurrently.*</p>
<p>*Normal exception for being offered admission off the waitlist of another school applies."</p>
<p>This is standard boilerplate for accepting an offer of admission and sending in an enrollment deposit.</p>
<p>To add on, according to the collegeboard website (for professionals) a college may rescind your admission if they discover that you have double deposited -with the notable exception of transfer students, waitlisted students, and appeals. </p>
<p>yep. you need to clean this up immediately. You have about 10 hours to choose one and withdraw your initial acceptance to the other two and keep your fingers crossed. I hope your repercussions are small. This is not a game.</p>
<p>Your reason does not make sense. You are indeed violating the rule with no valid reason. Just imagine a guy proposed to 3 women at the same time. You are making multiple contradicting committments. </p>
<p>I’d just like to ask, that I’m actually not sure that I have “enrolled” into the college yet. I have not paid any tuition, just the Admission deposit. Is this still considered to be “double depositing”?</p>
<p>Yes. By paying the admission deposit, the college has eliminated one spot – currently no longer available to another student. To correct it, you must immediately contact two schools and tell them of your change of decision.</p>
