Wait List procedures

<p>Considering that some will be receiving wait list notices shortly, a question... </p>

<p>How have others handled "Wait Listed" for their first choice? If you have an admission letter in hand from another good school has a commit deadline of May 1st, and schools will not be able to project how many can be pulled in off the waitlist until after May 1st, there seems to be a great risk in holding out until mid May and letting other decent options expire.</p>

<p>Any thoughts on this... or experiences with the same?</p>

<p>That is why you send in your deposit to your second choice school.</p>
