Do not worry, this is completely normal. Sabancı University offers an interdisciplinary education system, which offers freedom of choice. Students take common courses in their first year regardless of the faculty and program, and then they declare their major by the end of first year. To put it in a different way, you are not in fact choosing a major during the application, but rather after your first year, which is called the Foundation Development Year (FDY). Due to this education model, the acceptance letter does not have a department listed, but shows the faculty that you have been admitted to. After the FDY, you can choose any major from any faculty without any limitation.
Yes. While we are not able to give extensions on the deadlines in all cases, we do try to accommodate such requests from our candidates when they have a sufficient reason to request an extension. Please note, however, that extensions are rare for scholarships in the higher brackets such as 75% or 100%. Those spots are reserved for candidates and then offered to others should the first offers not be accepted.

Yes the prepayment will be substracted from your tuition fee.
No, prepayments or application fee are non-refundable.
