<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I'm seriously considering attending either McGill or UBC next year as opposed to staying in Europe. Quick question about housing though: do enrolled students who submit deposits and/or housing applications earlier receive more/better choices for their dorms? Or is it random?</p>
<p>Also, I'm considering doing something pretty weird. I've applied for several British schools and must ultimately wait for my final IB schools in July to see whether I can attend one of these schools. I have some pretty high conditional grades though and I'm not sure whether I'll be able to make them. Would it be wise to pay a deposit and accept an offer of admission NOW from either UBC or McGill (haven't made up my mind)? There would be two scenarios: a) if I receive the grades I need and get accepted in England, I would withdraw/"dropout" in late July or b) in the case that I don't make the grades, I'd come to Canada. I would rather stay in England but am using Canada as a backup plan for low grades.</p>
<p>Thanks for any help!</p>
