Hi,
I was admitted to Ox-Emory for this upcoming fall, and paid my deposit 1.5 months ago. When I went to Opus today I saw the Acceptance agreement (which I have not yet signed because I am waiting on a waitlist from another school) and it said the deadline for it was May 1? Does that mean the deadline for the deposit was May 1, or the acceptance agreement?
Am I late on sending in the acceptance agreement?
You should immediately call the school and find out.
Did you send them anything before May 1 saying you were coming? Not sure how you could pay the deposit without saying you were planning to enroll. I agree call them today
Call and get an answer. Usual rule is that if you do not accept by May 1, you can go fly a kite because you are deemed to have declined the offer of admission. Your option if you are waiting on a wait list elsewhere is to accept admission by May 1 and then withdraw later (and likely forfeit deposit) if accepted elsewhere. As mentioned above, I also do not know how you could have paid the admission deposit without having accepted the offer of admission.
It seems your school has a different procedure. For my D, the deposit payment came after clicking the accepting the admission offer button.
