S3 Q&A: One school admitted me and the other hasn't decided - should I wait?

Wait only as long as the first school's deposit deadline and your own status dates allow - if you're in a grace period or need to file a change of status, waiting can cost you the intake, so tell me your dates first. If the second decision is still pending close to that deadline, ask the second school for a decision date - we can help - and then decide on what you know. Paying one deposit to hold a seat is fine; paying two rarely is.
