Logistics of spring admission

I’ve gotten over the shock (mostly) of seeing the big white envelope and then realizing it is not for fall admission. My daughter will start college in the fall (not worth going into detail but spring is not an option for her).

Given my D will attend elsewhere if not bumped up to fall USC matriculation, is she supposed to send in both the spring commitment card to USC in hopes of being bumped up over the summer, and her commitment to enroll elsewhere in the fall? Is this okay to do?

Said alamemom a few years ago:



Yes, you would accept the offer at both universities. I know of one girl who was thrilled to be accepted by USC for Spring last year. She chose to attend another private four-year for the Fall semester - she loved it so much at the other school she decided to stay there.

Which just illustrates that there are lots of great opportunities out there for all of you. She didn’t think she would be happy anywhere else and was so relieved to be accepted for Spring, but it turned out the perfect school for her was one she would not have considered if she had been admitted to USC for Fall.
