[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every year. Schools place the burden of risk on parents. And they get the extra cash if a family moves after paying the deposit. [/quote]
It doesn’t seem unreasonable at all. Why would the school finance the risk? [/quote]

Exactly. Especially for families who want to leave. Business first. [/quote]

Well if everyone could be adults about it, the schools could ask if families definitely intend to re-enroll or if they are looking at other schools. They would then know how many seats they definitely have to fill and how many others they may have to fill. They could set the deposit deadline for the second group soon a few days after admission decisions are announced, at which point they could make a second round of offers from the wait list for any seats that open up. [/quote]

Except that applicants who you hold until the second round got first round offers elsewhere. No school is going to risk losing a great applicant to another school who admits them first without at least having a deposit from you.[/quote]
