<p>I read in a different thread that it would be advantageous to send the $200 deposit by March 1st to get on first dibbs on housing.</p>
<p>Can I submit the deposit and still rescind my acceptance later if I choose a different school ? Or is it a binding commitment ? UM is one of my top 3 choices - I am still waiting to hear from UC Berkeley/UCLA (probably end of March). The latter two would be a lot less expensive for me ....</p>
