[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Narrowed it down to 3 quickly (one regret: should have had her log onto portals immediately to officially decline the others - we hadn't really realized how things work.) 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 decline right away? [/quote] To be polite to the schools / help them assess yield and target their efforts to kids seriously considering them / help kids on the waitlist. This is for the schools that were definite NOs as soon as all the results came in, not for the 3 still in consideration. [/quote]
