I was admitted to one program (yee haw!) but I am waiting to hear from the second university I applied to. The deadline approaches to send in a letter of intent to register along with a non-refundable deposit.
If I keep waiting and the other university doesn't let me know yay or nay soon then I would miss out on the first school. Can I just send in the letter of intent and IF I get accepted to the other school and decide to go there instead is it okay to courteously retract my intent to enroll at the first school? I'd love to have a choice between both schools but don't want to screw up and be left with nothing!
