Any advantage to confirming admission now?

<p>My son has been admitted to UC - Arts and Sciences. We're 99% sure he'll attend UC. Is there any advantage to confirming intention to attend now rather than in Feb? (housing choices, class registration priority or anything else?)</p>

<p>If he's on the "edge" for academically qualifying for a scholarship....do you think he would be more likely to be considered for it if we wait....so that the school might use it as an incentive to get him to commit?</p>

<p>i was also wondering that</p>

<p>Earlier commitment= greater chance of money. Later commitment= less money available for scholarships. Any questions?</p>

<p>If it’s that likely he’ll be a Bearcat next fall, committing now may help him get better housing. My son got into one of the rare doubles in Daniels by confirming his intention to enroll into UC’s architecture program as soon as he was accepted (his 1st choice) and signing up for housing right away. Most freshmen in this dorm are housed in quads (4 to a room). Our family’s experience with both kids’ colleges (the other child didn’t attend UC) was that those students who signed up early got the best picks of housing, courses, etc. Good luck!</p>
