<p>I don’t know the answer. However, maybe you can keep in touch and find out how many spots have been taken and how many are left. Double-check to make sure the deposit really is non-refundable. At my daughter’s college, half was refundable if you notified them before the May 1st deadline that you would not attend. Try to have as much of your fafsa info together early, so you can submit as early as possible.</p>
