Hey
Seniors:
May
1st is the National Candidates Reply Date. No college can require you to commit to
attending, with the exception of Early Decision or NCAA athletic scholarship
programs. You have until May 1st
to decide. If you truly feel you cannot
make the decision by May 1st, call your colleges for an
extension. They may grant you one.
How to Make Your
Decision
There is no one perfect
college. Your college experience will be
what you make of it. Know that it will
be an exciting, meaningful and pivotal time of your life!
- Ask questions – create a list of questions you still have about the colleges you are considering
- Get Answers (college admissions reps, current students, college website)
- Visit or revisit campus if possible
- Think things over. (Step away from the process —get outside)
- Compare financial aid offers. (Determine exactly what your out-of-pocket cost will be to attend each school.)
- Finally, ask yourself at which college can you imagine yourself as most successful and happy?
Here’s
what you will sing on May 2nd:
Clap
along if you feel like a room without a view
Clap
along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Clap
along if you know what happiness is to you
Clap
along if you feel like that’s what you want to do
C’mon admit it—you are
not sick of this song!!
