[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]

Thank you! I have a junior so not into the application process far enough yet and just kept wondering. Seems pretty definitive as written.[/quote]

Not definitive. Do not buy whatever the Common App, Universities or their Counselors tell you…… This is illegal and any state court in the US would agree with me. Show me one precedence of them removing someone’s admission due to double depositing. You are not going to find any, do you know why? Because schools know they could never win this argument in the court of law. It is that simple.[/quote]
