My kid has almost decided to commit to UTAustin. However there are a couple elite universities he is still waiting on but lower likelihood. We want to wait till mid April to see if he gets into into any of these elite schools. However, if we wait, my kid may not get priority housing at Austin. Is it better to accept/commit to UT Austin and then withdraw if one of these comes through? Or is it not allowed to do so? We are OK to lose the deposit.
We would be OK to wait if we don’t have to worry about housing but we heard housing is very hard to come by unless you have accepted the priority housing. How easy is it to get good housing if we accept around mid April? Or early April?
