<p>I was accepted to two of the top lac's. I just realized that I made the wrong choice. If I already sent my deposit in to one, is there any way that the other would still take me (I know that the answer is not likely)? Any advice? I chose one of the schools for all the wrong reasons.</p>
<p>The best you could do is probably call or e-mail the school your interested in. But in all likelihood, it’s probably too late.</p>
<p>You should first consider EXACTLY why you chose the college and then think thoughtfully. If you feel that you made an absolute mistake then you should call admissions at your college of choice and explain it to them. They may still accept you but the aid that was previously offered (if any) may no longer be available. Also, you will loose your deposit at your other school and have to pay a new one.</p>
<p>Another draw back would be settling in. You may not get the classes you want or even housing but definitely sleep on it and then call.</p>
<p>I had the same problem and my other school did accept me and give me aid, granted it’s a College That Change Lives (40), and in my opinion they are VERY different than other colleges.</p>
<p>What happened between decision day and July 23rd to make you feel that you’ve made the wrong choice?</p>
<p>If the school has no space (very likely at this date), it is very likely they would admit you for next year. Ask about that too.</p>
<p>Obviously, there is a reason why you pick LAC 1 instead of LAC 2 on May 1st. Consider those factors RATIONALLY and see if they are still relevant to your goals and interests before making any changes. You are likely just having buyer’s remorse.</p>
<p>Classic cold feet syndrome. The truth is that there is not that much difference in colleges (academically) at that level. Socially could be different, however. </p>
<p>Its likely way too late, but you can call the school you rejected and ask. If they will let you and if your financial aid will be the same and if your parents will let you, then you may consider making a late change. But again, its likely too late.</p>
<p>In that event, go to the one you accepted, smile and look forwards, not backwards and think positive. There is a reason for everything in life. And one more thing, this is very normal and you arent alone. It all works out.</p>
