<p>How mandatory is it that I notify USC by May 1st?</p>

<p>I’m in to both USC and the Thematic Option, so how long will they hold my spot before I let them know?</p>

<p>There was a postcard to decline the admission offer in your acceptance packet - you just send it in.</p>

<p>freshprince, if you have some situation preventing you from making your deposit, you should contact admissions and ask for an extension. You MIGHT get one for admissions, but Thematic Option has a waiting list that they will fill right after May 1st - your extension would probably not hold TO for you.</p>

<p>Cali,
In the admissions packet there was a card/paper you could return. It is courteous to write a short note telling the university you have made another choice. This would be a good idea, especially if you were offered a scholarship or financial aid.
If you and your family are absolutely positive you will not enroll, please reply as soon as possible. A spring admit may be hoping and hoping for that spot.</p>

<p>^^Good point Georgia. People who are sure they do not want to enroll should notify the school as soon as possible.</p>
