is it a bad idea to commit before scholarship notification?

We sent in my daughter’s acceptance fee ($100) before we received her merit scholarship (we knew she was eligible based on info. on OSU’s website). She received her merit scholarship roughly 2 weeks later. Didn’t make any difference. I assume all the school’s are like this. A hundred dollars (or thereabouts) is a pittance when you’re talking about tens of thousands of dollars and I think the schools know this. You can still walk away. So don’t worry about committing and locking in your housing.
