Q: I can't make up my mind where I want to attend. Should I put down deposits at my first few choices?

A: We will admit -- we're not the best at reading the fine print either. Downloading a new version of iTunes? Gym membership contract? Move to the bottom, check "I agree," and add your John Hancock.

So you may have done the same with your Common Application. Every time you sent an application, you had to check a series of boxes, agreeing to policies and stipulations. One of those: "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.]"

Can you double deposit? The answer is no.
