<p>Today’s NY Times has an article about double depositing (featuring a quote from Carolyn). </p>

Admissions Officials Lament Practice of Signing On With More Than One College </p>
<p>By ALAN FINDER
<p>The envelope arrived at Allegheny College the first week of May. Inside was a form signed by a high school senior accepting admission. Inside, too, was a $500 check made out to St. Lawrence University.</p>
<p>It turned out, said Scott Friedhoff, who oversees admissions at Allegheny, that the student had accepted admission offers from both colleges, and made deposits to each.</p>
<p>The incident is one example of the largely subterranean practice of double depositing when high school seniors and their parents try to get around the May 1 deadline for accepting admission offers. At most colleges, double depositing is against the rules. Many admissions officials say they believe the practice is growing. And they say it is unfair.

<p>Hi! Was just having my coffee and reading the Times when lo and behold, I came across the article. What a surprise when I saw Carolyn’s name. Our Carolyn made the NY Times. Congrats to Carolyn and to thank you for all the good advice you have given us over the years… Jrpar- I am so glad you posted it already cause I had no clue how to link it up.</p>
