What's the deposit cost for McDonough to hold your spot?

Is it worth the possibility of getting Ross for you to make the deposit only to lose it if you get in to Ross?

Or, is it worth the risk to not make the deposit, and risk getting turned down at Ross and not have anywhere to go?

Yeah, paid the deposit and wait to see what's gonna happen would be the best strategy. tho funnily I already paid the deposit for university of Rochester and imperial college last year for the same reason lol.

maybe I am just curious, would ross be an absolute "yes" that I should go for once if they ever give me an offer?

Given your interests, I think so. It wouldn't hurt to let them know you're going to be out the deposit at McDonough and that it'd be awesome if they gave you some scholarship to cover that loss -- worst they can say is "no". Good luck!

Hey Joyyyyyyimi

Were you able to get yourself off the waitlist?
