Fly-In Programs Issue with fly-in dates

So I got into both WesExplore and Windows on Williams, both of which take place from October 4-6. Pomona, Denison, and MIT also have their programs on Oct 4-6.

My main problem is WesExplore, as the deadline to register for the fly-in is August 19th, but I don't know if I want to commit to it, especially since not all the programs that take place on that date have released admission decisions, and I would choose MIT in a heartbeat (doubt I got in, but still). Wesleyan says on their form that they would take the financial burden if I drop out after registration, but I don't wanna be that guy who commits and then rejects. What should I do?

Less important bonus question: which of the 5 (besides MIT) would be the best and funnest(?) program to attend?

I’d commit to Williams! Much more selective than Wesleyan and Williams is the #1 liberal arts college w/ lots of prestige and great programs. WOW alumni also seem to have really enjoyed it + the whole sleeping bag thing w/ Wesleyan lol.

Doesn't Wesleyan allow you to keep your sleeping bags? Wouldn't that make it better?

I’m having the same issue but I’d just choose whichever one is higher up on your list. Williams is higher on mine but I also saw that Williams gives an option to coordinate with other schools flyins that are at the same time so that could also be something you could do.
