I’m a bit confused regarding protocol for multiple acceptances. I know that if you had multiple acceptances, you could had to narrow it down to one by April 30th. I’ve only had one acceptance through that deadline and I’ve received an additional acceptance from a waitlist (post April 30th).
I’ve read through the traffic rules and general CYMS tool facts but I’m still confused how to proceed. There are a variety of factors that I want to consider before making a decision, first and foremost tuition and aid. I have not yet responded to the waitlist offer - will there be any penalties for accepting the offer via the school’s portal? Ideally I’d like to see a financial aid package before I make a decision. Additionally the school that accepted me off the waitlist has 3 campuses, 2 of which I would give up my pre-April 30th acceptance for, and the third campus (which I was accepted to) is where I’m currently placed, but site assignments aren’t final until I actually accept the offer. So, I’d like to see if I can end up at any of the other 2 campuses.
I guess my post boils down to this: considering it’s past April 30th, can I accept a second acceptance offer from a waitlist on that school’s portal? Or will I be penalized?
