What to do?

Im in quite the predicament. Earlier this year I was put on the wait list for NC State (my number 1) and accepted into UNCC (my number 2). The deadline for intent to enroll was may 1st and after waiting, I submitted my acceptance of admission on April 30th. This morning I received a call from NC State saying I had been admitted and have until May 15th to submit my intent to enroll. Any suggestions on how to weigh my options and is it even possible to back out from UNCC if I do choose NC State?

Schools are used to this happening, especially this year with everything surrounding COVID 19.

You may lose your deposit at UNCC, but if you want to go to NC State, tell them you’ve accepted.

Coming off a wait list is an acceptable reason to change schools. Congrats!

You should inform UNCC you will not be attending at the same time you deposit at NCState. You will lose the deposit at UNCC but that is it. This happens all the time when people get off of waitlists so no worries.

Congratulations on getting into your top choice college!

can you afford you afford your top choice, if so you will lose your deposit but schools expect to lose some kids to waitlist and they take some kids off waitlist.
