<p>Nothing much will change in a few weeks. Just do what you need to do and make a choice. It will be fine either way. Flip a coin if need be. I’d pick the lower cost school.</p>
<p>my opinion only: it is pretty un-ethical to hold down deposit on 2 colleges.
I think "most / or a lot of " parents know that May1st is the national deposit day & they know that on or before May1st, they will need to make a decision.</p>
<p>Our family faced acceptances from many colleges & we are lucky that we lived in our state so we’re able to travel quickly & make a quick decision: UVA</p>
<p>I know you’re from oversea so I can only “assume” you know about the May1st deadline BEFORE you apply to all these colleges, don’t you? </p>
<p>let’s email / or call these 2 colleges & explain to them your oversea travel plan
& ask for an “extension”…see what they say…maybe they will “work with you” & help you out.</p>
<p>tell us what happen , ok?</p>
<p>one more thing:
I think the college will know
when the high school send in 2 final transcripts in June to 2 ( or more) colleges,
they have some kind of agreement ( i think ) that they will notifiy BOTH colleges of duplicate transcript to be sent in…that’s how the colleges “find out” of double/triple deposit issue.</p>
