April: Make That Big Decision
- Think carefully about the pros and cons for each school – consider size, academics, cost, extracurricular options and more.
- By May 1st, officially accept your offer of admissions and financial aid packages on your school’s online portal.
-
Review financial aid award letters. Determine if the financial aid package covers all anticipated costs. Plan to make up for shortfalls.
-
Contact the school’s financial aid office with questions. Know how much aid you will be required to repay. You will need money for non-tuition items: housing, meal plans, books, transportation to/from school, lab/art supplies and computer. Plan for these expenses.
