Push Back National College Decision Day due to COVID-19


Push Back National College Decision Day due to COVID-19
The Issue
Due to the ever-growing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic around the globe, over 100 colleges and universities have cancelled all on-campus events for extended periods of time - including tours, admitted students days/weekends, and other events that assist students in their college decision-making process. With National College Decision Day on May 1st, many students will be forced to make their college decision - a choice that heavily influences their academic and social trajectory in life - without an opportunity to fully understand the school they are putting a major social and financial commitment towards.
If National College Decision Day is not postponed, thousands of students will make their college decisions off of nothing more than online college rankings, foggy memories from their tours over a year ago, and the experiences of their friends and family. Don't deprive students of the chance to make an informed decision regarding their future; push back the deadline and help to ensure all students are able to pick the right school for them.
