Accept your school!

<p>I would just like to repost a post I came across on the wait list thread that all should keep in mind: </p>

<p>"In the spirit of non sibi, I would also encourage those who have acceptances and waitlist letters come March 10 to help the schools and other kids out to the extent you can. If you know you will accept an offer at a particular school, relinquish your acceptances and waitlist spots elsewhere as soon as possible. You never know - it might well make a difference to someone, especially if a school offered you financial aid but you won't be taking those precious funds. A few years back, our child knew she would attend a particular school without revisits so literally informed the other schools on, I believe, March 11. They were very appreciative, especially since one offer included generous financial aid at a time when endowments were down and funds were tight. Just a thought....Good luck, everyone!"

<p>Great post. The part about fin aid is not necessarily accurate. A school will sometimes disburse financial aid out to existing students with greater need before allocating to new students.</p>
