So I'd like to get adcoms opinions on holding multiple acceptances and waiting for financial aid decisions. I'm sitting on 10 acceptances and waiting to hear back from 5 more (WL at 2 places). I like some places more than others but significant financial aid could change my opinion of any of the 10 schools. By March I should have heard back from everyone and could potentially be sitting on more than 10 acceptances. My parents won't be able to file their taxes for a little while and so I might not get those financial aid decisions until April. Would it be okay to hold on to all of these until then? Or is it better to just eliminate half based on personal preference? I know I can technically wait until April 30th, but I'd rather make my decision faster. Financial factors are #1 for me and location #2.
