[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still have yet to see any written, contractual language that would deem a double deposit improper or unethical. If it exists, please provide it! And I don’t mean an opinion from a college consultant, I mean something binding that means you are only permitted to make one deposit.[/quote]
There is the following term that the student explicitly agrees to when they sign the Common app
https://www.commonapp.org/application-affirmations:

"I affirm that I will send an enrollment deposit (or equivalent) to only one institution; sending multiple deposits (or equivalent) may result in the withdrawal of my admission offers from all institutions. [Note: students may send an enrollment deposit (or equivalent) to a second institution where they have been admitted from the waitlist, provided that they inform the first institution that they will no longer be enrolling.]"[/quote]

As an attorney, I can tell you that this is irrelevant. None of that Common App bs would hold in court. [/quote]
Correct, as a legal matter.

As an ethical matter, not so much.[/quote]

I dont get all of the “not ethical” BS in defense of colleges. If u want to defend other students on waitlists, fine. But colleges created this problem. I dont feel sorry for them that kids double deposit.

Is ethical for Colleges to build a waitlist of 7000 kids????? When they typically take 50? [/quote]
