btisgood Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I have one offer only, but still waiting for another, also the one I most want. If I finally not receive the offer from which I am waiting for, I must accept the current offer before they cancle it. So what is the latest time I must responce. Midnight of April 15, local time where the univ locates? Is it so precise? The 4/15 resolution does describe so clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arienandthesun Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I am in the same boat. My offer gives a precise time, 5pm PDT. So, I am not sure about yours but I would assume it is 5pm local time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinventing Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Somewhat related. . . my schools sent me paper reply forms. Do they expect me to mail them so they get there by April 15th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeble Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 My school sent paper forms too, and wanted them faxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rising_star Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 1) I'm moving this to the April 15th forum. 2) If you check there, a lot has already been written about how to accept. Generally, email/online notification is fine provided you mail the hard copy just after April 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaguyahime Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hello, sorry to revisit this question but: Is the deadline for accepting or refusing offers April 15th at midnight in the school's location? Or, is it April 15th at 5PM in the school's location? Any consensus on this? I'm a bit concerned (still waiting for more information). Thank you!

case Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I guess its 5pm school zone time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tritonetelephone Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I asked one school for 2 extra days to decide and they granted me 1. You have to be VERY careful when asking though. I talked about how they were at the top of my list but I had an unfortunately-timed visit just before the 15th and two days to objectively evaluate my options would help ensure I make the right choice. Also acknowledged that they have a waitlist and I'd understand if they couldn't accommodate my request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rising_star Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Honestly, I doubt the time stamp on the email matters. I sent my stuff after 5pm in the school's time zone last year and it wasn't an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I know, it was a difficult decision, but let's face it. You want to be around people, not just deer, and UMass isn't near anything.

Reinventing Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 My experience with UMass was a bit of a headache--I'd hate to see what it's like when one is no longer in the "courting" stage (I use quotes because I definitely did not feel the love). That said, I seem to remember USC's pricetag being rather high. Best of luck tritonetelephone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
