SENIORS: College Decision day 2026 is May 1!

SENIORS: College Decision day 2026 is May 1!

This is just a friendly reminder  that May 1, which has historically been National Candidates Reply Date, is fast approaching.  That means that you will need to have made a decision regarding where you will attend college next fall, and have submitted your enrollment deposit to said institution, by then.

Remember, most selective colleges do not admit many students from the wait-list, and sometimes admit none at all. And, most wait-list offers will arrive after May 1, sometimes as late as June or even summer. You must commit to a college by May 1 to ensure you have a college to attend next fall.

Remember also that if you are admitted from a wait-list by another college after making a commitment elsewhere, you are permitted to change your plans. That’s totally fine.
