<p>In the event that someone is accepted off of a wait list, is given a few days to respond and accepts their seat in the class are they legally required to attend? My friend accepted a place from the waitlist at her second choice school last week... But is still holding out for the possibility of acceptance at her first choice. Is she allowed to withdraw from the other school even though she was taken of a their wait list if she gets into her top? </p>
<p>When you accept the waiting list offer you need to pay a deposit. Should you subsequently accept a place from another waiting list advise the first college that you’ve changed your mind. You then lose the deposit.</p>
