confirming admission while waiting

<p>My son was accepted to his third choice school he is still waiting to hear about choice 1 and 2. Choice 1 asked for his senior year 1st semester grades he bucked up and has done really well so far. Choice 2 application is still being considered. While choice 3 is a good school and he would be happy there he still wants to hear from 1 and 2 before making a decision. </p>

<p>Choice 3 is asking to confirm his admission, what do we do? Do we just confirm the admission in case he doesn’t get into 1 and 2 or should we just wait. We might not hear from either one till next month.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Just be up front and ask for an extension while you hear from other schools. It’s commonly done.</p>
