May 1st has come and gone and although most
seniors are very happy with their future homes, there are still students
exploring alternative options. Every year,
the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), publishes a list of
colleges and universities across the country that are still accepting
applications for fall enrollment. The majority of schools have deadlines in
late winter/early spring, and the student must deposit by May 1st,
to secure a spot. However, there are hundreds of colleges still looking to get more
students in their seats, and will allow students to still apply, even though we
are well into May. This is a good option for students who either have not been
accepted to any schools, can’t afford the schools they were accepted into, or
were wait listed at many of their schools.
So if you are interested, take a look at the list of
schools, and if it makes sense for you, go ahead and apply!
