<p>OK so I got into a school that I sorta like but I am not sure if I want to stay home and go to day school (then apply to better ones next year). I did get waitlisted at two of the first tier schools and I am not sure what I can do. If I say yes to the one I got into, but then I get off the waitlist of the other, can I just pay off the deposit and not the entire tuition?</p>
<p>I would carefully read the school’s contract to understand the timeline and obligations associated with the deposit. If it is not clear, then contact the school for clarification.</p>
<p>At one particular school, for instance, after paying Deposit there is a June cancellation deadline after which time the contract signer is on the hook for the ENTIRE tuition amount whether C attends or not. Every school has its own policies.</p>
