Commitment and Switching after April 15th

[mk3475]

Hi, so I'm just freaking out because by tomorrow(4/15) I have to notify whether or not I'll attend the university to which I was accepted. (Master's program)

However, decisions from other schools have not been made and they want me to wait another 2 weeks for it. Frankly, if I get admitted to either of these 2 schools, I would rather attend here.

So I was wondering if I could say I would be attending by tomorrow, wait until the other two results come out, and kindly ask for release for the previous school and attend the other accepted institution.

I think that happens all the time with wait lists and such

Thanks for answering!

So it is possible to request for release from the first university I said I would commit when I receive another decision from another school?

you could always ask for an extension and explain your situation

Ask for the extension. This worked for me because I was in a similar situation
