Extension of deposit deadline?

[Anonymous]

Anyone asked for and gotten an extension on the deposit deadline?

Alternatively, are offers reneged if one hasn’t placed a deposit?

Thanks!

What good is more time?

You can ask, but will need a compelling reason.

You do risk losing your spot if you do not place a deposit and have not communicated with admissions about needing an extension.

If you just need more time or are waiting for another school probably not. If its due to something like a job transfer or deployment etc. they might give you a little grace but don't expect a lot.

Is two weeks not enough?

This. And also make sure you get it in writing (email) and not just verbally over the phone, if they do agree to extend.

The offer will automatically expire when the deposit deadline passes.

Offers aren't reneged if you don't accept and place a deposit timely. They simply expire.

I asked and got a no and reminder that after deadline, offers would go to waitlist.

I asked O'Connell and got an extra week. DS was going to hear from another school a few days before O'Connell deadline and I wanted some time for our family to think and talk. Was a little surprised they only gave a week but sounds like it's not a common thing to do so I guess we were lucky.

Along the same lines, if I’m not granted an extension and pay the deposit and sign the enrollment contract but back out 2 weeks after the deadline, will the worst that happens is that I will lose the deposit ?

yes. You have until May 1 to back out. You will lose the deposit, but nothing further. After that, you'll be on the hook for the full tuition.

At some schools, if you appeal the FA decision, your deposit deadline may be extended.

Did OP indicate why they needed extra time?
