<p>After you get accepted into LSA, they mail you a letter/brochure thing from the Residential College. Make sure that she selects Residential College on her application to UMich though. You don't send any kind of deposit, it's simply a reply card that you do or you dont wish to participate in the RC program. It also says on the card "If I decide not to attend in the future, I will inform the RC in writing." So that way your D can still back out if she doesn't decide to go to Umich. =] By sending in your reply card, you are accepting your space in the College. And it says "confirmation will be first come, first served based on the card and your U of M enrollment deposit". Thus, I would just send out the card ASAP, and wait off on the deposit until she knows for sure. However, keep in mind that RC only admit 300 students each fall. I'm currently in this boat so if you have any other questions feel free to let me know!</p>
<p>I'm OOS too, so I'm definitely worried and concerned about the OOS tuition.</p>
