Waitlisted. So when do I find out I get in?

<p>What's the whole process? Do I get the decision before May 1st or after? If it is after, what happens cause we all know decisions have to be made by then.</p>

<p>You are supposed to submit a deposit somewhere else. After May 1, they see how many students accept their offer, and if it's too few, they take kids from the waitlist.</p>

<p>so we tell the other college that we don't want to go there anymore?</p>

<p>basically.......the college will tell you themselves when they'll let you know your finaly decision.....so ask the college!!</p>

<p>Usually it is after May1. By then you should have already made a deposit to another college and start gettin ready to go there, just in case you're rejected from the waitlist.
You shouldn't take chances on this one!</p>

<p>So.... after you get into a school from waitlist after may first and you've sent in the deposit to another school... how do you un-enroll from the one you sent the statement of intent and everything to?</p>

<p>If you put a deposit down on one college and then are accepted off of the waitlist to a second college, you just send a letter to the first college that you no longer intend to enroll. Putting a deposit down is not binding.</p>

<p>Yea deposit just means you lose that money if u choose to not go.</p>

<p>yes. you do.</p>

<p>deposits aren't usually more than a couple of hundred dollars, and some schools don't even require one (like the one i'm at now didn't).</p>

<p>Being waitlisted is horrible. It really just extends the admissions process another two months (unless you got into another great school).</p>
