<p>I just got back my letter back from uconn and they waitlisted me. They said that they wouldn't get back to be untill late may. However, all of my other schools require a decision by may 1st. I really would like to go to Uconn. Is there anything that I can do to expedite the process or should I just decline my position on the waiting list now?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>You send a deposit to a school that accepts you that you want to attend and also accept a place on the UConn WL. Ifyou get in off the WL you notify the school you sent a deposit to and forfeit that dsposit. That is standard and appropriate. But you do have to send in a deposit somewehre becuase WLs are so iffy.</p>
<p>No, no, no.</p>
<p>Okay this is how it works. You choose a school to enroll in, pay the fee, et cetera. Then if you're admitted off the waitlist, you tell the other school you're not going (you lose that money, usually a couple hundred) and you enroll in the school that waitlisted you.</p>
