<p>Is it ok to send acceptance money to multiple choice so I can change my mind later in July? or once I submit the check, am I commited to the particular school?</p>
<p>Also I am waitlisted, and they will notify me by August.. What do I do in this case.?? Can I enroll that school once they admit me even if I am already commited to other school??</p>
<p>Help me~~</p>
<p>Also does my mail have to be in the office by May.1?</p>
<p>It is generally frowned upon to send deposits to multiple schools, and some schools will rescind your acceptance if they find out.</p>
<p>Waitlist is a different matter. If you send in your deposit for one school, but are accepted to your waitlist school, it’s fine to inform your first school of the situation and attend the waitlist school instead.</p>
<p>Anyway, that’s the general knowledge I’ve gathered from CC.</p>
<p>And for most schools it’s postmarked by May 1st, but you’ll have to check with each school.</p>
<p>When students “commit” in may, but end up taking offers elsewhere, including wait-list offers, it is referred to as summer-melt. Colleges expect that a minute percentage will not fulfill their commitment, but try to avoid such through deposit fees and everything that is due around this time.</p>
<p>No offense but WTH? You’re planning on making someone else wait for an opening to their dream school just so you can straddle two spots – because you’re flighty?? What reason can you have about not choosing a single school by the May 1 deadline?</p>
<p>I’m being blunt because part of growing up is being decisive and not screwing people over. Schools have and will rescind offers from people who do what you’re proposing. And they are completely justified in doing so.</p>
<p>If there’s some extremely extenuating circumstance, then call the school and ask them about getting an extension. Good luck w/your decision – but at the end of this month, please make one.</p>
<p>Often the form you complete and send in with the deposit is some kind of affidavit that promises that you are depositing at only that school, or the school otherwise informs you that their expectation is that you deposit at only one school. </p>
<p>High schools often will not release a final transcript to more than one college, to ensure that students don’t double deposit. It’s fine if you deposit at one school and are later taken off the wait list at a different school which you decide to attend. You do lose your deposit at the first school, however. But that’s the price of making sure you have a college to go to in the fall in case the wait list doesn’t work out. </p>
<p>Aside from violating colleges’ policies (which could result in an offer being rescinded if they find out), other posters make an excellent point: It’s very selfish to take a spot away from another student. Look at the big picture. If someone at the school you are wait listed at does the same thing, it could keep you from getting off the wait list.</p>
<p>no you shouldnt send two deposits. that makes me want to scream.</p>
<p>yes you can commit to ONE school and a waitlist</p>
<p>Thanks everyone! I will make sure that I will only choose one school.</p>
<p>ive heard of people sending two deposits and both schools repealing their decisions when they heard this
so DON’T!</p>
