Yes, it is necessary…if you were on a waitlist, wouldn’[t you want people to be timely in replying to open up some spaces?

Its just manners, actually.

The schools will have an unofficial grace period for deposts- mail, etc - and then they have to enter things into computers, print out list of those replying, etc

What if your deposit got lost in the mail…and the school said, gee no check, guess they aren’t coming and pull your admitance, does that seem right? With a card, they no FOR SURE you aren’t coming, and can work much more efficiently for all involved

Sending in a card or note clarifies everything and is just courteous to all involved
