<p>Do you HAVE to withdraw your other apps if you get into Stanford SCEA and have already enrolled? </p>
<p>Additionally, is it possible to get out of an enrollment contract, if done before May 1st. Eg. If you get into school X in March... can you tell Stanford that you've changed your mind, ask them to cancel your enrollment, and enroll at school X...all before May 1st?</p>
<p>If you were planning on seeing how your other apps turn out, why did you enroll in the first place?</p>
<p>People make impulsive mistakes.</p>
<p>There was a thread on the same topic, which was kind of inconclusive, but what people were saying is that you don't have to withdraw even if you've enrolled. </p>
<p>What about my second question? </p>
<p>I wouldn't be applying "just to see".</p>
<p>I'm sure it's possible to get out of the enrollment contract, but probably not to get back whatever deposit you put down. They don't want you there if you don't want to be there, and there will be a long list of people who DO want to be there. I wouldn't wait until May 1 to tell them, however -- you should do it as soon as possible after you find out that you got in to whatever school you prefer. (Of course, if you don't get in to that school, you don't have to tell them anything.)</p>
<p>Why are you even thinking about this? It's crazy. The percentage of students who go to Stanford and don't like it is miniscule -- and much lower than the percentages of students who are unhappy at Harvard, Yale, or Princeton, which are small but not miniscule. If you go there, you are practically guaranteed to love it. So why waste energy second-guessing yourself?</p>
