<p>I just wanted to make this thread for general questions that people might have.</p>
<p>I'm an international student who got accepted, and my email said I had to pay a deposit by December 22nd. Should I just put the cheque in an empty envelope and send it off or do I have to wait for an official acceptance letter that might give more detail?</p>
<p>The acceptance letters usually have a little reply card to attach to your check. I'd probably wait for that to arrive just to be sure your check gets filed properly.</p>
<p>I don't think they will give your spot away if the check doesn't arrive on Dec. 22nd!</p>
<p>I'd call the office and ask if you should wait for the official letter. I am sure they'll tell you that it's OK to wait.</p>
<p>We've had very good experience communicating with the college about money issues so far. They are informal, friendly and helpful.</p>
