<p>hey CCers!- I'm still stuck between 3 colleges in the US, 2 in UK and one in Singapore. (Yes, I'm a VERY VERY indecisive person). Is it acceptable that I submit my SIR to all the colleges? Will I lose ONLY the money (the registration fee) or can this also lead to future complications and rescinding of admission or anything else serious?? Has anyone sent their SIRs to more than one college? Looking forward to your replies! :)</p>

<p>I think it’s unethical.
Don’t do it.</p>
<p>thanks Ren (we might just be batchmates- GO BRUINS! :))
well… here’s my current situation. for the schools i care about (UCLA, CMU and Berkeley)-
<p>now, i also got into purdue and michigan- but i don’t like the universities that much- so i’ll be rejecting them. is it still unethical if i accept UCLA? i can’t be sure i’ll get into either CMU or berkeley, right? and what about non-US universities? is it wrong to accept a place there too? it’s just that my parents need time to decide!</p>
<p>thanks ren for your reply! and looking forward to your replies, everyone! :)</p>
<p>No it is not unethical. Many accept admission in one college while waiting for wait list decision elsewhere. If you then get admitted elsewhere, you just withdraw your acceptance. Usually, though, you will lose any deposits you have made. Also, for some, if you wait too long to withdraw and have submitted a housing application with a deposit to a college, you could lose both the housing deposit and be charged an additonal amount for late withdrawal of housing application (e.g., if you wait beyong mid-May).</p>
<p>I don’t believe that this is unethical either. This is really common practice in my opinion. I don’t see how this could be construed unethical when the only thing your doing is giving a school some free money.</p>
