May 1st - Decision Day!
Thursday April 30, 2009
May 1st is a big day in the college admissions process -- it's the day by which most students have to decide whether to accept or reject an offer of admission. For students who were lucky enough to receive more than one acceptance letter, the decision is often a difficult one. Should you go where you feel most comfortable? Should you choose the school with the greatest name recognition? Or perhaps the college that offered the best financial aid?

I just got back from a conference for college admissions counselors and there was a study (http://www.royall.com/) that found only 6.9% of students’ college choice was unaltered by the economy. My guess is that cost will be the number one factor for students choosing a college.
