Multiple interviews

Hi everyone

I've already been accepted to 2 schools (NOVA and PCO) and I've recently received interview invites for 2 more (ICO and NECO). I'd like to go to these interviews but the other schools require that I make a decision about enrollment within 2 weeks. That's not enough time to interview at ICO and NECO before making a decision.My first choice right now is PCO, but I've never been to NECO or ICO and I'm curious about them. I could just put down my deposit at PCO and still go to the other interviews. I guess I would just lose the deposit if I should change my mind. Anyone else in this not-so-bad position? Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Dave

First of all-congrats! Most schools will give you an extension on the deposit date, so I would try that first. If not, I would give a deposit to any school that I could reasonably see myself attending. So if you prefer PCO over Nova, just send it to PCO. Most of these deposits are refundable minus like $100, so not a huge loss if you change your mind.

Well you can always ask for an extension on the deposit, I did for ICO and it was granted. I too thought I was going to definitely attend PCO but when I interviewed at ICO I had an epiphany. I'd definitely go to all the interviews you can...you'd be surprised how different things can change. However, I did decline an interview at NOVA but don't regret it..ICO was the perfect fit for me.

Cool - thanks for the replies! I'll try and see if I can get an extension

Thanks again

Hey

I am in the exact same position as you - same schools too. I'm accepted to PCO and NOVA and have interviews at NECO and ICO.

I've put a deposit down for NOVA because I liked it better than PCO. However, I asked for an extension at PCO because I needed more time to think - they only gave me 14 days though.

I will be going to all my interviews because as of now, I am unsure about which school I want to attend..
