Why? Because living in limbo land sucks. Why is anyone encouraging or supporting their kid in dragging out a decision among current choices for another month (beyond May 1?). What is the benefit to your own kid?

My kid has 3 fantastic choices. We are doing revisits but I want this all settled by May.  There is no way it's going to benefit her to have another month to live in limbo while all her friends are wearing their college gear, displaying their choice at grad parties, planning their rooms, etc.

How does it benefit my kid AT ALL to spend another month thinking, "huh, choice A or choice B?"  [b]It's not like she's going to get some additional info about the schools between May 1 and June XX.  The current students will be gone for the summer.  The campus will be empty, etc. [/b]

Maybe a kid wants to visit campuses during spring break before they make a final decision. Who cares? They have their reasons ok? You are being too dramatic about living in limbo. Sit in that discomfort in not knowing because the feeling of knowing is a fallacy. Maybe use that month to volunteer in a soup kitchen.[/quote]
