Hi there everyone!

I was wondering what you would all do in a situation like this...

Lets say that you are accepted at a certain school and waitlisted at another. You like both schools but b/c of location decide to wait as long as you can to see if you are accepted at the waitlisted school. How long would you wait without jeopardizing housing and other arrangements at the first school? Thanks!
