National College Decision Day

Tomorrow is May 1st and it is national college decision day!  The colleges have all united in the fact that they will not require you to make decisions about where you will attend prior to May 1st, but this is one of the deadlines that is firm.  As you are aware, through the college application process each college has their own timeline and often have different application deadlines, financial aid deadlines, and announce their admission decisions at different times, but May 1st is a universal deadline among all colleges requiring students to declare their decision.  Please remember that this not only means that you have informed the college of your choice that you intend to attend their college, but it also typically includes submitting a deposit.  As you reach the final hours of your decision making window, if you need to talk out your choice with someone, please feel free to stop in and talk to me, but tomorrow is it - you need to make your decision.  And, no, you absolutely should NOT double deposit!  Congratulations, in a matter of hours you will know for sure where you are heading for college.
