Possible Traffic rules violation?

I just got accepted to UMKC's school of medicine! Wahoo! A little bit of background, UMKC's program is 4.5 years and I would begin in January. One of the requirements to accept the offer is posting a $1000 non-refundable deposit in the next two weeks. How is this not in violation of AAMC rules? I am waiting to hear back from another school I would prefer to go to in three weeks, and would like to not be out $1000. What should I do in this situation? Speak to the school directly or... Possible Traffic rules violation?
