Sunday, May 1st is the National Candidate Reply Date, the deadline for most students to enroll for school, make a deposit, or formally accept scholarship offers from the schools they will be attending in the fall. In the wake of the tragic tornado outbreaks in several states throughout the southeastern United States, the National Association for College Admissions Counseling is asking for flexibility from college admissions offices with regard to the May 1st deadline for student deposits and commitments. NACAC is hoping schools will understand that there may be delays in receiving replies from students in the affected areas. Already, the University of Alabama has suspended normal operations, postponed commencement exercises, and extended the scholarship acceptance date. Any students affected by the recent tornadoes are encouraged to contact the admissions offices at their schools if possible to request an extension of the acceptance deadline.
