May 1 decision - multiple Yes's?

<p>my friend called yale, caltech, and mit.
he told all of them yes b/c he said he couldn't choose yet. they all gave him until tonight. the decision was due at 12am on may 1, but they extended it for him for may 2 12am.</p>

<p>i feel bad for the waitlisted people for those schools. even if they don't check the waitlist for a week or so...</p>

<p>Assuming someone wanted to change his or her mind, how, in other words, would an enrollee rescind his or her decision, so that he or she does not have multiple YESs at the same time?</p>

<p>What counts as an official rescision? an email? a certified postal ?</p>

<p>I'd probably call and ask them what they wanted. In any event, I'd follow up that phone call with something in writing (e-mail, letter, or fax).</p>

<p>I am still unclear on how colleges will determine you have multiple Yes’s. I think this probably happens a lot and is difficult to track. I have a few friends doing this as well and they think it is normal…</p>

<p>Although it is unethical, you can do it if your schools allows you to. I sent in Yes to two of my colleges, and both of my colleges allowed me to do it. But you have to make sure with the colleges before you sent them in or else you might be in trouble if they some how find out.</p>
