<p>What does one mean when they say "Official Decision DaY" as it pertains to college of choice? Is the day May 1, 2009 for fall 2009 enrollment?</p>
<p>Yep, May 1 is the day that the students must inform the colleges that they will accept their offer of admission. Most also require a deposit. Those colleges that do not hear back assume that the student is declining.</p>
<p>Don’t know if anyone else has heard of this tradition, but in some HS, on May 1, seniors wear the t-shirt of the college they will be attending. Sounds kinda cute!</p>
