Trying to decide the same thing right now. Based on the statistics for the past few years, the chances seem bleak. I think we’re depositing at another school and moving on. I feel like the psychology of committing to one school and waiting and wondering about the 10% chance (or less) you may be given a spot off the list sounds terrible. Then if you do get a spot, there’s a scramble to figure out a dorm, orientation, etc. I feel like you’d always be one step behind everyone else in terms of preparedness. I feel like if it’s someone dream school it could be worth it (or an Ivy) to accept, but otherwise it’s just a distraction from fully engaging with the school that loved you back.
