Hi everyone,

 I just found out that I got waitlisted at UMich, and obviously, I accepted it because I have wanted to go there since freshman year... Anyways, I'm planning to put in my deposit for UW-Madison (it was my third-choice school and I am still super grateful that I was accepted). Just to confirm, it's okay to withdraw my admission if I do end up getting accepted into UMich (it's fine if I lose my deposit because I'm willing to risk that)- right? How would the whole housing situation work btw? Can I wait until like the beginning of July to start to look for roommates (although I don't expect the pandemic situation to be resolved)?

Yes you will lose your deposit BUT check with Madison. Many schools are allowing you to postpone your deposit for a month or two due to the pandemic. See if they will allow that and for how long. This might work to your advantage.

Call admissions or housing for your dorm questions. Somehow it all works out.

Cool thank you!
