I imagine the Deposit will be due before you hear back from any other schools. I'm sure you can back out before paying the deposit, but you'd be backing out without the knowledge that you got in anywhere better. I don't think it would be wise to apply EA unless you'd absolutely go there if you got in.
Thanks for chiming in. Actually 3 of the schools I'd also be applying to - Booth, Kellogg and Tuck (based on last year) all come out with their decisions before Dec 20th. So I could technically back out .. obviously assuming I have an admit from Duke in the first place
What I was more worried about was from a 'right thing to do' standpoint. I'm sure it is *not* ok to back out after paying the deposit coz one is supposed to withdraw all other apps. But before you put the deposit in is a different story ..
