[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Narrowed it down to 3 quickly ([b]one regret: should have had her log onto portals immediately to officially decline the others - we hadn't really realized how things work.[/b])

Did official admit visit day for 1 and class-visit / self arranged visits for the other 2.  Had 1 that was the likely lead candidate, and after visits it was.  Committed a few hours after leaving last visit this week then declined all other spots.

The visits as an admitted student were particularly helpful, especially the option to sit in on classes. But really the final distinction came down to location and vibes, as they were all SLACs.[/quote]

Why in the quick refusal important?[/quote]

Just from a helping the process globally position. She had 7 admits, 4 that she knew weren’t in the running once she had all the decisions, some that had offered scholar/merit awards.  If we had realized there was the decline button we would have had her do it right away to enable the college to more quickly pivot to other students / the waitlist.[/quote]
