USC commitment deposit

<p>I have already paid my $300 commitment deposit for USC. The deadline for this deposit was on May 1, but during that time, I was yet to receive my admission letters from other schools. </p>

<p>Now that I've paid that deposit, there must be a way to withdraw right (without the money, of course)?
I mean, why would USC make the commitment deposit due so early when they know that many UC's have not released some of their decisions?</p>

<p>My dilemma is that I got accepted into CAL after I paid the USC deposit. I'm still deciding between the two and I don't want to be committed to USC until I know for sure. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I pretty sure the May 1 deadline applys to people who got accepted from HS.</p>
