applied two schools

I got accepted into nursing program at local community college. Yes I made it! but this school is not the first one where i want to go. I just applied to have backup plan in case i did not get into the one I want to go. I don't hear if accepted or not from ideal community college until late June. I think i have to start into processing in about a few weeks such as health, physical form, background check etc, according to the acceptance letter, and i will start doing that. But is that fine that i start processing half way and change my mind to go to the ideal school when I found out i I got accepted. I am just wondering if i get penalty fee or something.

No there is no fee if you change your mind. Just politely send a short letter to the school you rejected, telling them you have backed out of their acceptance.

The only fee that may be involved is if they require a deposit to accept your place in the cohort. If they do, there may be a small processing fee if you withdraw..

It depends on the school. One of mine requires a $250 seat fee, which is non-refundable if you change your mind.

you won't get a fee but you will loose any deposit you have put down..
