paying more than one admission fee

[Deja]

However, sometimes there are reasons to delay a decision beyond May 1. In my experience, the colleges and counselors are not at all sympathetic to most of these reasons and will not grant extensions if you bring up the issue. I have seen this. I know about a half dozen kids who were burned because they made a decision by the deadline and some events occurred a month or so afterwards that made the choice a bad one. And they knew this could be the case, brought up the issues to the appropriate folks, and were told, “them’s the breaks”. If they had simply sent in two deposits, and waited out the situation, they would have been much, much better served. There are a number of situations where this can occur, and I would not hesitate to tell such kids to send in multiple deposits because there is a definite chance that bringing up the issue will not result in counselors and admissions offices being supportive.

What would be some of the special circumstances where you would find it acceptable to send in two deposits?</p>
