This means that the large majority of colleges of universities in the nation expect you, the student, to submit an enrollment form and tuition deposit by May 1, indicating your intention to matriculate at their school in the fall. Even if you are waitlisted at your first choice college, you need to submit the enrollment form and tuition deposit to hold your spot at your second choice. Waitlist decisions can arrive through July, so do not wait on that decision to submit your deposit and hold your place at another school.

Did you know that Snowstorms delayed early application deadlines, and Keith Berman is giving a keynote at Wesleyan University?

This year, many colleges extended their early application deadlines past the traditional November 1st date (the average extension was three days). The decision was not limited to institutions in the directly-affected Northeast – the response to the storm included “sympathetic” deadline extensions at schools like Pomona College in California and the University of Chicago, and a statement from the board of directors of the Common Application advising college administrators to “be sensitive to the adverse conditions affecting schools and students in the northeast.”

This weekend, Keith Berman will be keynoting at a Pathways to College event at Wesleyan University, organized by Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth.

The event includes meals, workshops, and information sessions with experts.
