Hello y'all,
I am very fortunate to have had multiple acceptance on December 3rd. I am currently struggling with the dilemma of choosing between 2 schools that I really love and liked. However, with the semester and Finals piling on, I don't think I am quite ready to make one of the most important decision of my life.
Ideally, I would like to put down two non-refundable deposits at two dental schools that I could definitely see myself attending (likely, these school don't have super high deposit amounts). I would like to re-visit both schools again in January, and this time really get to survey the area and get an in-depth feel of the type of learning environment and future I will have there as a student. I will also speak with my parents in person which I wouldn't be able to do until I see them in person after the initial deadline (January 2-3rd) is due.
My question is, is it allowed for student to hold 2 seats and pay 2 separate deposit to 2 different institutions. I know that schools can this in April, but by then I am confident I will have made my decision, and will have informed the other school that I will not be attending in March or earlier. I know it is frowned upon as I might be holding a seat for a person that really wants it, and I will release the seat as soon as I feel comfortable with decision to forgo it, but I just don't feel like I can do it now with my Fall classes and Finals still pending and not having the chance to revisit those places.
Also, I wrote a really poorly written post-acceptance email to one of these school (filled with multiple typos and grammatical errors), what are the chances that the school might reconsider and rescind my acceptance as a result?
This is considering I always thought the writing in my P.S (granted, after heavy review and editing) was a selling point of my app. In this email, I was polite and ecstatic, but the quality of writing in this email was very poor. Not proofreading the email was a grave mistake but I really hope its not fatal! Thank you all.
