I understand the rule is that by April 30th, I must withdraw from all accepted schools except for the one I intend to enroll at. The AAMC says "*If any date falls on a weekend/holiday the recommendation(s) will apply to the following business day." - SO:
1) Can I get some clarification that this means the real deadline date is Monday, May 2nd this year?
2) Is there a specific time I must tell them by? (End of business day? By 11:59pm (in the time zone of the school)?)
3) Is there a specific means by which I must contact them (I'm assuming e-mail, phone, or portal if available are all sufficient?)
*I know this may seem excessively nitpicky, but I am planning to wait until the very LAST minute to make a decision in the hopes that scholarship money will free up at my first choice school before then, otherwise I may go to my (cheaper) state school for financial reasons.
**If this still seems excessive, the admissions director at my first choice school told me there was a girl in my same situation last year who withdrew her acceptance on April 29 and then scholarship money became available the very next day. I don't want that to be me!
