Hi everyone! I was recently accepted to a program and I wanted to know if the deposit reserves your seat or does that deposit declare your decision to go that program? I'm asking because I'm still waiting to hear back from another program. Thanks for your help!

It saves your seat for that program and declares that you will be attending. You are able to send a deposit to multiple schools or send a deposit to hold your seat while you wait to hear back from your other programs. You have the ability to contact the school you sent the deposit to and tell them you are turning down your seat. The only downside to that is that is if you choose to go to a different school there is a good chance your deposit is nonrefundable.

is it bad to decline a seat till the end?

I think it is a personal choice. If you are set on one or two schools all other schools that you were accepted to that know you won't be attending, declining seats early would be the best options to allow room for other students. If you are stuck between two programs I would not decline a sear until you are absolutely sure, once you decline it is final.
