Acceptance decision extension

Does anybody know if ICO is lenient when it comes to extending your time frame for making a school decision?

I know you have to write to someone higher up (I forgot who) and explain your situation and why you want an extension. If they approve it, you'll get another 2 weeks (I'm pretty sure it's 2 weeks).

Thank you for your insight!
Do you happen to know how long after your interview they (ICO) will typically offer acceptance?

I'm a little nervous because I scheduled my SUNY interview about a month after my ICO interview :/
Horrible planning on my part.

ICO adcom meet every other Thursday (so that's twice a month). They usually decide Thursday and send out letters of acceptance that Friday.

I think you'll be okay time wise. You get 30 days to decide from the date on your acceptance letter. Say you were to ask for an extension and they give it to you, that's 6 weeks total.
