Double depositing

[Anonymous]

Anyone else going to double deposit?

As described in another thread, that is considered unethical.

Please consider what you are teaching your child.

We don't need more selfish, unethical adults in the world.

What? No way!

If one of the colleges finds out you did this, your acceptance will get rescinded.

[Anonymous]

For what reason?

[Anonymous]

Please don't do this. It reflects poorly on you and your child.

Just get your kid to make a decision and own it. Important life skill!

We had to rescind from a private high school and it felt awful. I notified them the very next day DC was admitted off waitlist somewhere else and they made me feel like crap. Don't do this.

If you need more time to decide, just ask for an extension. Many schools will offer extensions now due to Covid.

Don’t come to an anonymous forum for this kind of guidance. Don’t accept this kind of judgment. People have their own agendas. Talk to family, friends, or just do your own pros and cons list. And help your child make a decision, even if other people may not like the decision. It’s not their decision.

We're not planning on doing this but I'm curious as to how the WL sort themselves out otherwise?

Do they really expect people to turn down all other options on the off-chance they might get off a WL? That makes no sense. I thought the point was that you forfeit your deposit if you change your mind and they then pull someone else off the WL.

It's only OK for colleges to be unethical (and immoral), take bribes, suck up to the rich, prefer one minority over another, etc. Students should not.

We are thinking of doing the same thing.. One at an expensive school across the country and one at the local state flagship. Once the Covid situation shakes out, we will make the final call.

If you place a deposit at one school, and then later get off a waitlist and withdraw from the original school, that’s not considered double depositing.

However, if you place a deposit at two schools you are accepted at, hoping to choose later, you risk getting rescinded at both.

just google it

if you do this you run the risk of losing both acceptances
