Welcome!

UrsulaLeguinFan:

We have several strong Tuition Exchange offers in hand, but my student’s clear first-choice school denied TE and is notorious for releasing merit late (“that” school). Would you hold out hope, or accept one of the current TE offers now?

If your student wants to attend college in the fall at a price that these schools are currently offering (i.e. with TE), then your kid needs to accept an offer by May 1 and pay the enrollment deposit. Otherwise, those TE offers will be released and be given to other students.

UrsulaLeguinFan:

If we accept a TE spot at one college and later another school comes through (either merit or TE off a waitlist), can we switch, or does accepting usually lock everything in?

As far as I know, a student can still withdraw after committing. The family will lose the deposit at the original school, but I believe that’s the extent of it. You may want to confirm that with your university’s TE rep.
