usually refundable, usually around 100.

the schools do deposit your checks though (and then write you a refund check later) so if you are going to be holding 5 spots make sure you have the 500 in your checking account.

This school is asking for $500 - isn't that alot?

yes.

so far i've had one for $100 (refundable) and one with no deposit at all.

$500 seems way out of line though.
