@jab116 So if you have until May 1 to accept a spot at Houston and the other gives you a decision by the end of April, you are OK, correct? This would be best-case scenario, obviously. If that doesn’t happen, do you need to pay any kind of deposit at Houston by May1 to hold your spot?
Any idea why the other school is taking so long? Are you on a waiting list of some sort? May 1 is a pretty standard deadline for making commitments to schools.
