Accepting Aid Package Before Accepting Admission Offer?

<p>Do you know if i can accept my financial aid package before i accept my offer for admission? the reason i as is because I have narrowed down my choices to two schools. one has a June 1st reply date and the other a May 1st reply date. The later gave me an extension to reply about my decision until May 1st, but today i recieved the printout of my financial ais offer in the mail and the attached letter says to accept/decline award by May 1st. Since admissions is the one that gave me extension and not financial aid should i go ahead and accept my aid offer or does that tell the school i also want to attend?</p>

<p>Thank you in advance!</p>

<p>Call the school and ask…although it’s getting little late to do so.</p>

<p>Any chance that now that you HAVE your financial aid, you can make a decision about attending too?</p>

<p>I recieved the letter friday evening and the school was already closed. I went ahead and accepted my scholarship from the school, but non of the govt aid or loans. hopefully that will be okay. i just left the others as undecided. </p>

<p>Im thinking that i am going to choose that school but there are several factors that are keeping me from making my final decision like the fact it is a womens college and i have recently been second guessing my choice to go to a womens school and i went to visit my other choice of school last weekend and i really really liked it. It is a large state school though and the other is a small private school (1000 students) so the two are like comparing apples and oranges. Its just a hard choice.</p>

<p>But doesn’t your “other choice” want their decision by TODAY? </p>

<p>I think you need to make up your mind. You can’t accept enrollment at TWO schools while you make up your mind.</p>

<p>Yes one has a may 1st relp date but i was granted an extension until the 15th and the second school has a June 15th reply date.</p>
