<p>they try to keep you here but yeah that does happen in a few rare cases. i dont know how you would leave an acceptance open without paying that college money of some sort but im PRETTY certain a college that accepted you (this probably excludes ivy's that filled your spot no problem) would be understanding and make room for you. the only case i know of is of somebody who quit (did not get kicked out for medical reasons) and was enrolled at nebraska for the fall semester.</p>
<p>I have made backup plans for a state college. Had to pay deposits for housing and admission. My problem is that the school contracts say I will be responsible for a semester of tuition and housing once I enroll and you must enroll by late July. That still leaves me exposed if I get injured late in Plebe summer.</p>
<p>Don't know if college would enforce contract and make me pay tuition and housing if I enrolled and never showed up but think stiffing college would be bad start for an honor code plebe.</p>
<p>What's you guys' thoughts?</p>
<p>i dont know what to tell you but it is more likely that you wont get hurt and even though it can be wise to prepare for the worst i would probably pull that deposit, say thanks but no thanks, and if something happens then a state college will be understanding... it would just be a lot of work. i probably didnt make it clear enough earlier... even if you DO get hurt, it would have to be really bad - they want you here if you want to be here and stitches, shin splints, even a broken arm or things in that area of seriousness are not gonna get you dropped. thats all i got.</p>
<p>"Don't know if college would enforce contract and make me pay tuition and housing if I enrolled and never showed up"</p>
<p>The college would be hard pressed to enforce such a contract against you, since they could mitigate any damages they suffered by letting someone else in off their waitlist and passing the housing down the line. </p>
<p>Not sure what the honor issue is here . . . . </p>

<p>you might look into "enrolling" but immediately taking a leave of absence from a civilian school. i'm not really sure if it's possible, but... having completed one year of college, i am officially "taking a leave of absence" instead of withdrawing from my school. i would have a garunteed (sp?) spot here if i had to leave usna.</p>
