National College Decision Day

National College Decision Day on May 1st marks the deadline for millions of students to commit to their chosen colleges.

Early Birds Get the Worm

Committing to a college before May 1 secures your spot and offers advantages like better housing and financial aid options.

Cost of Committing Early

While committing early has its perks, it prevents you from comparing financial aid packages. Ensure your choice is well-considered to avoid losing non-refundable deposits.

Changing Your Mind After May 1

It's possible to commit to a college after May 1 if the school has rolling admissions. But be aware, you may lose your spot to waitlisted students if you delay your decision.

Can You Apply After May 1?

Yes, you can! To determine whether or not the college of your choosing adheres strictly to the May 1 deadline, access its Common Data Set (CDS).
