Making Your Big Decision
Confirming your college enrollment plan is a BIG decision. Take the time to carefully evaluate all of your offers of admission. Talk to your school counselor, your family, and your Crosby Senior Advisor.
- Attend prospective student events at the colleges to which you were admitted.
- If you have been offered a spot on a college’s wait-list, learn what to do to be an active member of the Wait-List.
- When you have received financial aid awards, compare them carefully and ask questions if you don’t understand the awards.
- Once you have made your final enrollment decision, notify the other colleges that accepted you that you will not attend. Please notify schools as soon as you know you will not be attending.
- No college can require you to commit to attending prior to May 1, the National Candidates Reply Date, with the exception of Early Decision or NCAA athletic scholarship programs.
- Offers of admission are conditional upon review of your final transcript. Keep performing at the same competitive level throughout this semester so your grades do not drop. Your college will review your final transcript and may revoke your acceptance if you have performed below the college’s acceptable standards.
