Hi everyone, quick question. I'm a bit confused about the college decision deadline for 2024. When exactly is the last date to commit to a college? Thanks in advance!
In the United States, the most common deadline for college decisions remains May 1 for most colleges and universities. This is often referred to as National Decision Day. That means if you've been accepted to a school you want to attend, you'll have to send your commitment, usually along with a deposit, by May 1, 2024. However, it's worth noting that some schools may have different deadlines, especially due to the shifting landscape of college admissions amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Similarly, if you have been accepted from a waitlist, your deadline might differ as well. That's why it's crucial to check the specific date provided by each institution in your acceptance letter or their admissions website. It's always best to confirm this important deadline directly with your chosen college or university to make sure you don't miss it.
