<p>If you accept the scholarships/FA, are you committing to attend A&M? Ds has A&M in his top three but won't make a final decision until the end of the month.</p>
<p>ha! my kid is doing the same thing.</p>
<p>thought she decided the other day, but today she said she really hasn’t decided yet!</p>
<p>I thought A&M had fallen off the list completely, but yesterday the no. 3 school got bumped by A&M. The other two schools are radically different than A&M, so it’s going to come down to whether he wants to stay in his comfort zone emotionally but in a school that’s a little different academically or pursue the far-away schools that academically are more to his liking.</p>
<p>D accepted her scholarships before she registered for new student conference. I think the registering is how you fully accept admission so I don’t think anything is official until then. I just didn’t want those scholarships hanging out there too long.</p>
<p>a little bit of the same story here. stay in comfort zone or fly away from the nest?</p>
<p>i think either choice will be fine, so i am not pushing one over the other.</p>
<p>You’re not really committed until you register/pay for your new student conference.</p>
<p>Ds got a call just now from an A&M recruiter – staff person, not a student – who said that you could register for new student conference and still change your mind before May 1 and get a refund. Is that true?</p>
<p>I would believe an A&M recruiter – staff person, not a student – over anything anyone would say here ;)</p>
<p>Normally, I’d agree with you, kl, but she has a vested interest in getting my son to the school, and y’all don’t have a dog in the fight. 
Already, I had one recruiter type tell ds to do one thing (he did) and then when I called financial aid I learned the ramifications of what he did. They weren’t deal-breakers, but I wish the woman had been more forthcoming of what those actions would have meant.</p>
<p>can you request an extension?</p>
<p>I don’t want an extension; I want ds to fish or cut bait! Just wondering what moving forward with the NSC commits him to.</p>
<p>I think I’ve read that the NSC fee is nonrefundable. It’s like $75, right?</p>
