<p>I got waitlisted at Harvard, and I was wondering that if their decisions are mailed at the END of May, how do I manage that with other schools? Can I actually accept another school in the mean time before I get my letter from Harvard.</p>
<p>Yes you can accept another school. Typically colleges require a nonrefundable deposit when you accept them. If you change your mind about going to that college, you lose your deposit.</p>
<p>Northstarmom, you seem to know your stuff: Do you know about how many kids are waitlisted? I was waitlisted and Im trying to ballpark the odds. Any help would be appreciated. I just pray its not like wash U, where thousands are waitlisted for a few dozen spots.</p>
