Around when should I tell colleges of my decision to go or not?

<p>Around mid-April?</p>

<p>as soon as you know...if you know for sure, tell them....it may help a waitlisted person</p>

<p>^thats true.</p>

<p>But don't be hasty in your decision. Make sure you do your research and visit the campuses that you are considering. Make sure you also plan the financial burdens of the college you will attend.</p>
