Just to verify, paying the deposit and clicking that you accept the seat is non-binding and just holds your seat, right? Just a bit confused since the deadline isn't til April
Click to expand...
Yes, depending on the school if you withdraw before the deadline you'll get refunded the deposit. By accepting the seat you're saving your place but you won't be reprimanded if post deadline you have other options and choose a different school.

Still waiting! Trying to still stay calm. At this point, I just want to know either way.

Accepted! Was getting pretty nervous for a second. Since the deposit to save a seat is not due till the end of April. We don't technically have to respond with our decision to accept right now, right?

It is not binding, but they will not refund you the deposit. They will hold your seat either way for this school, but require the deposit and accepting the seat by April 30th.

Mine was one week. But it varies from last week Friday (first meeting to decide on acceptances) to when interviews started. So there isn’t a set time yet, I think.

Considering how MCW's most recent email encouraged applicants to vote, do you think it would be okay to include something like this in my update letter:

"I have been volunteering with Planned Parenthood Votes. I do phone banking to reach out to voters in swing states."

Wisconsin has until recently been a blue state so idk if this is a risky move to talk about my volunteering with PP votes.

I actually mentioned PP in my secondary essays for them, but I am sure there is some small risk. I also did some phone banking and letter writing this fall (I'm home with kids anyway, sooo), but this time I just wrote "various organizations including Vote Forward" because I had mentioned PP last time. So, there is possibly some small modicum of risk, however, it also highlights what medical rights are at risk in the election making it relevant to volunteer...? I'd say probably fine, but I'm sure there is some small chance you could get the wrong reader.

It just depends on who is reviewing your app. Milwaukee is a pretty blue area and most of the faculty and staff I have met at MCW are blue.

So if we've been accepted, there's nothing more we need to do right? Because I don't see anywhere we can accept the offer without paying the non-refundable deposit

I would stick with non-partisan/non-controversial organizations or just stick with "voting volunteering". If it were me reading your essay, I wouldn't want my personal beliefs to color your chances, but I can't deny that as a religious person it would put a bad taste in my mouth.
