In the college world, Thursday, May 1 is an important date. It is the common reply date, the date that high seniors must make a decision about which college they will attend. Of course many students are still waiting to receive all their decisions - and should have them by the end of the month - so they cannot quite focus on the final outcome until then.
So before we break for our spring vacation, we'd like to remind you of a few important items.
First, don't be in such a rush. Just because it seems like everyone has made her decision, you do have until May 1. Take a deep breath and consider all your options. You want to make the decision that is best for you. Next, once you have made your decision, be absolutely sure that you inform all your other schools of your decision. They have students on a waiting list, and it would not be fair to keep them hanging.
Once the decision has been made, be sure to keep an eye out for all letters or email your college will be sending you. You want to make certain you respond to all of their requests and deadlines.
And finally, make sure you enter your decision on Naviance. That is how we know where to send your final transcript, and while you're there, make sure you have entered all of the decisions you received (accepted, denied, waitlisted, withdrawn or cancelled). Every college you applied to should have something listed beside it's name.
Enjoy your break next week!
