Waitlist Musical Chairs

Son’s top two schools he prefers both have him on their waitlist. Fortunately school #3 is a good school, so there will be a happy ending to this.

I’ve heard that if a school calls you to pull you off their waitlist, that often they will only give you 48 hours to decide. Is this true even if it is before May 1? Slightly worried that if waitlist #2 calls this week and asks, “Yes or no?”, then what happens if waitlist #1 calls next week with the same question?

Am I overthinking all this and the only thing at risk is the housing deposit we put down presumably on May 1?
