Help with notification dates

<p>Ok, so I was recently accepted to American University. I applied for transfer last month and am beyond thrilled to be accepted. However, I also applied to GW, and would like to have the option of going there. The problem is that AU requires that students who are accepted notify them of whether or not they will be attending within 4 weeks of being accepted. GW will not notify me of whether or not I've been accepted until after that 4 week window has passed. </p>

<p>Since GW is harder to get into, I don't want to decline AU, just to be declined by GW, and have to return to the college that I am currently at.</p>

<p>Any advice on what to do? Thanks guys</p>

<p>You can ask AU to extend their deadline for you as you are still waiting to hear from another school. Some schools will do this.</p>
