<p>Is there a different process, or am I just out the deposit?</p>
<p>That is typically how it's done. You send a deposit to the school you expect to attend, but if you are accepted from a waitlist in May and decide to attend there instead, you forfeit your deposit at the first school.</p>
<p>Correct. If you deposit at JHU then choose to go to a school you are admittedt off the wait list from - then you will lose your deposit to JHU. That is why we say non-refundable.</p>
<p>what if you do not get into the school from which you were waitlisted. can you still attend hopkins?</p>
<p>If you are admitted to JHU and send your deposit, you may attend.</p>
