Re: Asking a school for more time before paying a deposit
Schools constantly deal with this, but I'll tell you what my friend did (this is the best case scenario that I've heard):
He sent a letter to school A saying that he wanted to wait on school B's response. He then gave a compelling reason why he wanted to wait on school B. Don't say that has anything to do with rank, quality, or something else negative against the school. He said that it was because he wanted to be near his mother who's health wasn't the best. In his case this was true so I'm not advocating lying.
Anyhow, the school made him pay the deposit, but stated that he could wait to sign the letter of intent. He ended up getting rejected from school B and attending school A.
The lesson: school's aren't stupid and they understand the game. You are unlikely to be given an exception, but don't fight it because you may end up going there. Just ask and follow their guidance.
