This University asked me to give them answer about whether go to their program or not before 3.15, But I have not got other offers now, what could I do. Help me~

Wangjun my man!
You’re in deep with that one! I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes… that’s for sure! These deposits are definitely non-refundable, and I know you would spending that cash on a hot date rather than mailing it to some admissions office in Saint-Louis!

What you got to do is play it cool, and maybe they’ll extend the deadline. I drafted a quick email for you … feel free to improvise and improve, maybe give them an excuse. I made up a super plausible story about your being eligible for a scholarship … (man, I hope you’re not applying to a school with an honor code like Virginia!) Let me know if this works!

P.S. dont use the scholarship story if your grades are terrible because remember, they have your transcript and they’ll know that you're taking them for a ride


Dear admissions officer,

I just received your letter of admission. Thank you!

I would like to know if you would be kind enough to extend the deadline you’ve given me to confirm my admission, from March 15th to March 30th. This extra time will allow me to make sure that I am eligible for a scholarship in my home country. If this is not possible, I completely understand and will send you my $500 deposit before the required March 15th deadline.

Best regards,
wangjun

I'll follow your suggestion, thank you ^ ^
and~,my mother language is not English,so I am a little confused when reading you reply with some special use.Could you tell me what does the sentence "I hope you’re not applying to a school with an honor code like Virginia!" mean?
