Waitlist Ethics

Prep School Admissions
1

<p>I’m a bit unsure here. So I was waitlisted at my top choice. A HADES school’s website says that it is common to accept a place(and pay the deposit) at a school you have definite acceptence from from and still stay on their waitlist. </p>

<p>This is my top choice but I feel it’s a bit unethical to accept a place somewhere else when I might back out of it at the last moment. </p>

<p>I don’t really want to give up my place at X school so I might, possibly, maybe get an acceptance off school Y’s waitlist. </p>

<p>What should I do and what are you in a similar situation planning on doing?</p>

<p>and by a Hades school, you mean Hotchkiss. Am I right?</p>

<p>You’re right.</p>

<p>Choral I commend your ethics, but if you are not afraid to lose your deposit people do it all the time.</p>
