Accepting Admission

Do I accept the admission of all colleges I’m planning on attending or just the one

How do you plan to attend more than one college?

I don’t but I’m interested in two schools right now and someone told me if I don’t accept the admission now then my spot would go to someone else. I just wanted to make sure that I have until May to make my decision.

If the commit date is May 1, then it’s May 1 - your “spot” won’t go to someone else if you don’t move quickly (though some colleges allocate housing based on first come first served). It’s considered unethical to hold two spots concurrently, and I may be wrong but I think you also signed an undertaking you wouldn’t do that when you signed the common app.

Pay attention to the school’s policy, not what someone told you. Most schools use May 1, but check if this one does.
