<p>S got a postcard in the mail today asking him to take certain placement tests on-line by April 30th. Doesn't he have until May 1st to tell the school whether he is going or not? How can they be asking for these test to be taken so soon?</p>
<p>The earlier you take them = the earlier day you will be assigned to go to campus for your FTCAP (schedule classes) = best choice of classes for a freshmen (other than schreyer scholars, they have their FTCAP days earlier).</p>
<p>I would have your S take the tests now (they don’t take very long) even if he is still deciding.</p>
