Did you know that you can search for specific schools that are still accepting applications for fall 2012 (incoming class of 2016)?

You can search through the website of the National Association for
College Admission Counseling (NACAC
) to see what colleges still have space available in their incoming class, and are looking to fill those spaces. You can search by state/country, or simplyscroll through the list. Then click on “Contact Info” for more information fromthe college or university, as well as application instructions.  The list has been updated after last week’s May 1 National Candidate Reply date.

Did you know that May 1 is the National Candidate Reply Date?

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.
