Hi guys, I just got accepted to three colleges that require me to pay for the tuition deposit no later than May 1. However, there are still other four colleges that say they will release the admission result on May 15 (two of these colleges are in my top list). But I know I should not do the “double deposit” because it is unethical
Therefore I would like to ask what I should do. I am international student so I might not have as much experience with this issue. Should I send emails to the college I got accepted to to explain my circumstances?
It’s not a double deposit if you deposit to the May 1st before the due date, and then deposit to the May 15th one if you end up wanting to go to that. The IMPORTANT thing, is that if you end up depositing to a second school, you need to notify the first school IMMEDIATELY and tell them you’re not going. You will probably lose your deposit, but transfer admissions understand that different schools have varying timelines.
to clarify philbegas’s statement. Deposit to school “A”. Wait until the 15th. If you want to go to one of the other schools instead -> Contact school “A”. Inform them you wont be attending. THEN deposit in School “B”
Im in a similar situation and that is how I was informed to approach the matter. I think it would be risky to deposit in school b then return to school a to reject them (because school b will look you up to see if you deposited somewhere already)
