<p>I received an offer from a liberal arts college and was completely fine with going there until about a week ago.</p>
<p>The thing is, I was offered a place at an UK university to do law recently, and overall, it'd be the best course for me to opt for the UK uni. </p>
<p>Since I accepted the offer from the US college (and paid about US$300) confirming my place before May 1st, will they allow me to go back on the offer and pull out at this stage? If yes, which stage will be too late?</p>
<p>The $300 is not a problem, I just need to be able to leave the college.</p>
<p>No, they’re going to issue a warrant for your arrest, have you handcuffed and fingerprinted, and put you on the no-fly list.</p>
<p>Seriously: happens all the time, when U.S. students are picked up off waitlists. They might even give you some of the deposit back, depending on the institution.</p>
<p>Call the admissions office to tell them of your change of plans. The assisitant answering the phone can explain if you need to write them a letter or send an email for verification and their records. Tons of people change their plans after depositing.</p>
