I have a deposit due in 2 weeks and it's $1500 (school 1). I interviewed a week ago with another school (school 2) that said they take 4-6 weeks to give you an admissions decision. I am in a very tight financial situation currently and was wondering if anyone has advice on how to navigate this. I am grateful to have been admitted to school 1 but school 2 is ultimately a much better fit for me. Paying 2 deposits (if I get admitted to the second school) will be extremely difficult for me given the large $ amounts.
Should I, a) contact school #2 and let them know the date I need to pay the deposit on another school and see if they are able to let me know their decision sooner? b) contact school #1 and ask if they are able to postpone the due date by a week or 2 due to financial hardship. Or are there any other options I should be considering?
