That may be try but it matters how the schools discovered you broke your promise and in addition you have obly broken your promise to one of the schools.



Guidance counselors are required to send your final transcript as proof of graduation to the college you have selected to attend. In addition your GC is also placing their academic intergrity on the line by looking the other way if your student should decide to double deposit (remember the GC is also trying to make and maintain professional relationships which get compromised when the GC upholds a student wrong and strong).

Lets say you double deposit at school A and B you tell your GC that you decided to go to school A. When school B does not receive the transcript, the contact the school requesting proof of graduation. GC tells college B student is not attending, college states student committed to coming GC will eventually fess up or ends up loosing “ground” with that college and develops a reputation for less than ethical practices. Would you want to be this person or do business with this person?

remember that honor codes require students to act in an honorable manner and with integrity, double depositing compromises that integrity, is not honorable and does become grounds for dismissal.
