Hey guys, I'm faced with a problem here and would really appreciate any advice or suggestions you can give me.
I'll give a brief description of my situation and get to my question.
Thing is, I'm an international student- a foreign resident- and I got accepted to two colleges (Sarah Lawrence and DePauw University) and am wait listed by two others- Bryn Mawr and Mount Holyoke. The thing is that I really want to attend Bryn Mawr, but just in case I don't make it out of the wait list and into the college, I don't want to let go of Sarah Lawrence. This is important because it's crucial for me to go off abroad and start college immediately instead of taking a gap year (because of petty family problems and the likes). Besides, with the financial aid and scholarship Sarah Lawrence has offered me, I would need to pay around $20,000 yearly, which is a little too much for my family. So, I would need to take a loan for SLC (I'm thinking of applying to Sallie Mae for the loan). Bryn Mawr, on the other hand, if they take me, they'll give me full-need aid. Now the problem is that both BMC and MHC will get to know if there are any spaces available only at the end of June or even later, while SLC is asking me to send in the necessary paperwork to complete processing my admission by 1st June.
Now, my question is, once I submit my I-20 form and get a student visa for Sarah Lawrence, can I later cancel it off and transfer to BMC or MHC?
If anyone has a well informed answer, do let me know. Please reply soon, I'm sort of running out of time. Thanks!
