<p>I’ve narrowed my choices down to three schools - which are all financially about the same, and luckily, cheaper than my safety school. I heard that declining offers early is better for all the waitlisted students, but are you doing it all at once or as you go? I know it’s a personal thing, but I haven’t submitted my deposit to a school yet so I’m a little paranoid about declining them as I go. :)</p>
