[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know someone who did this.

Kids double deposited by May 1st two years ago at two t30 schools. She was also granted a 1 year deferral (Gap year) at both places. In the meantime, this kid was also accepted to a UK university she wanted to attend. She enrolled in the UK university in the fall. She did not like it as much as she thought she would and dropped out after the 1st semester. But then she decided she was going to come back and attend one of the two t30s. She called one in February to tell them she changed her mind and was not going to attend. And then proceeded to start as a Freshman at the other t30 school in the fall.

Ethical? No. But she took full advantage of the deposits using the deferred entry.[/quote]

How is this not ethical? I don't get it. [/quote]
NP. She had promised to attend two different schools. That includes NOT enrolling in another school during that time period. Usually, the deposit for a deferred start/gap year is something substantial like 5k.[/quote]

I guess I need to see the fine print to know how hard and fast this 'promise' was.

Also as a former registrar, we did not consider a student enrolled until the first day of class. The process was acceptance, confirmation of acceptance via deposit, registration, then official enrollment. [/quote]
