Tips for Accepted Students
- If you do not want to go to that school let them know immediately so as someone on the waitlist can be admitted.
- Even if you are sure about a school go back for revisit day. Seeing it a second time is always a good idea.
- Be sure to get your paper work back to the admission office if you are accepting on or before April 10th.
- When making your final decision please consider: distance from home, location of school, weekend activities, athletic offerings, academic offerings, rooming situation, electives, visual and performing arts, will your parents be able to come to your home games.
- Write a note thanking the admission office for your acceptance if you are declining for another school.
