<p>Thanks Momma J. I get it now.</p>
<p>I would think that students will not wait until May 1 to say “I am not coming” by not sending in a deposit (?). I just assumed that my D would be sending notes or emails to admissions and interviewers once she has made her final decision…Maybe her decision not to go to College A, B or C will open up a spot on the wait list for a student that is dying to get in there.</p>
<p>Since this is my first, is it common to wait until May 1, and not send a check, or is it common to let admissions know you will not attend once you have made that decision?</p>
