<p>Is the wait list binding? If I get accepted and the financial aid package isn't sufficient, can I reject the acceptance? I just want to make sure I'm not trapping myself by accepting the spot.</p>
<p>Wait lists are not binding. It is great that you are thinking this through, but no you are not trapping yourself by asking for a spot on the wait list.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>You aren’t bound, but I would add that you should tell the truth–don’t write a letter saying you definitely will attend if you are accepted from the wait list unless you definitely will.</p>
