When you pay colleges the acceptance fee (i.e. $100), are you legally bound to attend?

Do you mean the application fee?

No, I mean the fee that you pay that tells them you want to attend. I think the deadline for most schools are May 1st?

I don't think you are. My friend paid the fee to two colleges he was trying to decide on last year.

You can't pay the free to two colleges.
It is your SIR, and you can only do it for one school.

Its something like the Statment of Intent to Register, but I think my friend turned one in to two colleges last year on the advice of a teacher.
Edit Hmm, this thread has some info on it

Looks like it's pretty frowned upon, although I'm not clear whether you'd get your admissions rescinded.

From what I remember most schools just want a deposit and a signature, so you could do this at multple schools and pick one later - you would be forfeiting your deposit at the school you decided not to go to, but thats it.
why not just make a decision?
u have to do it eventually. save urself some cash ;)

If the school finds that you sent it to another school, they will most likely rescind you. I read about it on the old CC (CollegeConfidential).
