It’s understandable to feel uncertain after receiving multiple acceptance offers! Whether you can back out of your commitment deposit usually depends on the school’s policy regarding deposits. Here are a few steps you can take:

Ultimately, open communication with both schools will be key as you navigate this decision. Good luck!
