May 1 deadline approaches...
May 1st. Perhaps the most important day in the life of high school seniors who plan to attend college in the fall. The decision still looms for many--where to go to college? Which offer will I accept? This may be the biggest decision many seniors have ever had to make.
But, as stressful and complicated as it may be for you seniors out there, it is just as stressful for us in Admissions. Will they come? Did we do a good job explaining the virtures of our university? In this decision, admissions offices are virtually powerless. We can't make the decision, only the student can (with a little help from mom and dad, perhaps).
To those of you still undecided, we anxiously await your decision. I know you will make the best decision for you and your educational goals, which is what us admissions people ultimately want--for you to find your place in the world. But, we can't deny that we hope you will pick us!
So decide by May 1, and if you need help deciding, just think Garnet and Black and I'm sure the right answer will appear.
