Did OP indicate why they needed extra time?

At some schools, if you appeal the FA decision, your deposit deadline may be extended.

yes. You have until May 1 to back out. You will lose the deposit, but nothing further. After that, you'll be on the hook for the full tuition.

I asked O'Connell and got an extra week. DS was going to hear from another school a few days before O'Connell deadline and I wanted some time for our family to think and talk. Was a little surprised they only gave a week but sounds like it's not a common thing to do so I guess we were lucky.

I asked and got a no and reminder that after deadline, offers would go to waitlist.

Alternatively, are offers reneged if one hasn’t placed a deposit?

Thanks!

Offers aren't reneged if you don't accept and place a deposit timely. They simply expire.

The offer will automatically expire when the deposit deadline passes.

This. And also make sure you get it in writing (email) and not just verbally over the phone, if they do agree to extend.

Is two weeks not enough?

You can ask, but will need a compelling reason.

You do risk losing your spot if you do not place a deposit and have not communicated with admissions about needing an extension.

What good is more time?
