<p>I have applied to American, GWU, and UMD and have already been accepted to American and must make my decision by April 15th. I'm sure I could get an extension but probably not past May 1st. I won't know the financial aid packages until at least mid-May for all 3 schools, and this is the determining factor on which school I go to. I also can't afford to put a $400 deposit down for each school to ensure a spot. I'm sure this is a common problem for students; does anyone have any suggestions on what to do?</p>
<p>Call the other schools and tell them that you must commit somewhere and they’ll usually give you your decision asap.</p>
<p>I applied to both au/gwu also and Au sent me the acceptance way in advance. I won’t hear from anywhere else until June/May. Are you gonna call gwu/umd up? Please let me know what they say.</p>
<p>Same here guys! I called them up and the girl there told me that it is advise to enroll in the month following acceptance but not required.
Still I wasn’t convinced.</p>
<p>^^ Whaaaaat? Yeah that is rather contradictory. It specifically stated the deadline to deposit is (4) months after receiving the acceptance. I suppose I’ll wait to see what sort of aid they give me before calling to investigate further.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies. I’m going to call all 3
schools tomorrow and see what they each suggest. I’ll update tomorrow with anything helpful.</p>
<p>Thanks twilliams21.</p>
