[quote=Anonymous]My daughter has been accepted to a couple schools that she is interested in.  She is still waiting on decisions from two other schools, but those decisions will not be available until the end of March.  Also, even the two schools that have admitted her will not have their financial aid package until March or April.  As many people of learning, schools are already opening their housing and orientation portals.  These schools will either not allow an admitted student to register for orientation or housing until the enrollment deposit is paid.  Since we don't want to miss out on getting better housing or certain classes, we want to put down the non-refundable enrollment deposits for these two schools.  Once we receive all the financial aid information and decisions from the two other schools in March/April, we would be in a position to commit to one school.  Is it unethical to put down two enrollment deposit under these circumstances?  Is there some kind of penalty for doing so (other than losing the enrollment deposit)?  If housing and orientation didn't require it, we would not be putting down any deposits now.  [/quote]
