<p>University at Buffalo just put me on their waitlist! I dont know how waitlists work. </p>
<p>-Can I send a deposit and commit to attending another college while waiting for UB? </p>
<p>-And lets say the deposit is 600 dollars for the other college. Will I be able to get that money back if UB suddenly accepts me and I decide to attend? </p>
<p>-I heard that it increases your chances of getting into a college if you tell them that it is your first choice school. Is that true? And will that affect my chances of getting into other colleges?</p>
