Mistakenly accepted admission offer,

Applying to College
1

<p>So a while ago I mistakenly accepted my admission offer at the University of Iowa. I didn’t have to pay a admission fee because the school waived it for me since my application fee was also waived. Its been a while and I never did anything about mistakenly accepting admission offer since I’am not under a contract and would like to keep the school a option because its a really great school and I also received scholarships. I know students accept admission offers frequently but if on a schools waiting list and find out they were accepted in June opt out… with this I’m assuming many are experience in these situations. </p>

<p>Any ideals? Is the thought just to only opt out if I don’t get accepted elsewhere that I prefer to attend the the best way to deal with the situation? Thanks.</p>

<p>It’s not a big deal. Unless you applied ED, it’s fine to opt out if you get a better offer. In fact, unless you applied ED, you don’t need to accept/reject acceptance offers until May 1, and after that, you still can withdraw your offer. You just would lose any deposit you’ve paid. </p>

<p>Congratulations on getting an acceptance and scholarships already!</p>
