<p>How can I find out what the acceptance deadline is for a college. My son cannot decide between two.</p>
<p>The national college acceptance day is May 1st. I don’t think there are any colleges that set other dates (unless it’s an Early Decision situation). The deadline is usually stated in the admission letter. Check there if your son has them or call those 2 college’s admissions offices to confirm.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>As an aside, you might want to deal with this BEFORE April 30. With one of our kids, we had a computer snafu on april 30. We then paid a fortune to express overnight the deposits to the school.</p>
<p>If you have multiple acceptances and some schools are already off the radar, it’s nice to let those schools know early, so they offer spots to someone on the wait-list or re-offer any merit scholarships you might have been granted.</p>
<p>Try real hard to set the deadline the weekend- like the 27th or 28th. We did that a few years ago and the week started nicely.</p>
