Hey, everybody! I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I've managed to get into a few good schools, but I'm still on the fence about where I should go. What is the last possible day I can commit to a college? There's a deadline, right?
Absolutely, there is a deadline. The traditional date by which most colleges and universities require accepted students to make a final decision and commit is May 1st, widely known as National College Decision Day. However, do make sure to check the college's official offer of admission letter or the school's specific website, as some colleges may set a different deadline. Remember, it's crucial to submit your enrollment deposit by the deadline, or the college might give your spot to another student. The idea is to avoid making a hasty decision - take time to understand what each college offers in terms of education, social environment, financial aspects, and more, to make the best choice for your future. Good luck with your decision!
