Can Change My Decision After May 1st?Answered
My family and I are negotiating financial aid still with university B, and they have a flexible deadline. However, I just submit my deposit for university A, because their tuition is lower for me, as of right now. I don't know if there's a guarantee that university B will lower their tuition more for me, so we decided to secure the safer option. Is it okay for us to continue to negotiate with university B and see if they'll lower their tuition more? If they do, and we change our minds on which university I should go to, is it ok for me to withdraw my enrollment from university A and enroll in university B?

Hey,
So it is legal and colleges can not force you to attend but here is what I can say for sure.
You will lose your deposit paid to university A and this usually holds your spot so you would also potentially lose your sport in university A in most if not all cases
As long as you didn't apply to university A under Early Decision (binding) you can de-commit and commit to university B but that is contingent on the fact that the final date to commit to university B has not passed
This is a complicated matter and you should, in my opinion and if you feel safe about it, talk to university B about the situation, and possibly even A but what i've said above is what I know
Good luck!
If you want more help you could talk to the admissions advisor at either your school or one of the colleges (or counselor at your school)

Okay, just to confirm, you're saying I would lose my deposit if I were to decide to attend university B, right? Cause at that point I wouldn't be very concerned if I lose my spot at university A haha. I just don't want them to rescind or something if they realize I'm still negotiating with another university.
