Deadline for Ride the Tide?

<p>I'm an early write, and my letter says that the deadline to register for Ride the Tide is tomorrow, March 25th. </p>

<p>I'd like to know... is this the deadline deadline? Or a tentative deadline? Regular admits haven't even gotten decisions yet, right?</p>

<p>Mine says April 7th.</p>

<p>Yeah I was an early write as well. And I suppose I didn’t read the fine print and I sent in my email today to the travel agent. So I am guessing you did not turn yous in “on time” as well? I do not know, it would seem unfair to punish us with a passage of the deadline, when regular admits just got their decisions.</p>

<p>Idk I was an early write and mine still says April 7th.</p>

<p>Yes… I don’t understand this. I got an early write, but I just got my official acceptance packet today… and apparently I can’t register for the Ride the Tide because the deadline was yesterday. When I go online and try to register, it says registration has ended. How would this make any sense for people who hadn’t gotten early write? Very confused.</p>

<p>I don’t want to register until I get my finaid package, because there is no way I can go if it’s not affordable, and although Swat is one of my #1 choices I don’t want to go, fall in love with it, and be all “okay, $200k debt wouldn’t be that bad…”</p>

<p>Is there any way I can register for RTT after I get my package?</p>

<p>Call the admissions office when you know, and don’t worry. Swat deadlines are usually not very hard.</p>

<p>My D also had the 3/25 deadline as an EW. We assumed it was tied to the free airfare Swat offered, and that they wanted a commit before her other decisions came out. We were informed we would need to compensate for the airfare cost if we changed our mind and decided to not Ride the Tide. Makes sense to me and my D agreed to attend.</p>

<p>Yeah well I was an early write and I was late so they covered most of the airfare but not all of it.Are they covering airfare for the regular RD acceptances? Idk, seems fair enough.</p>
