The problem is the worst thing happened to the OP. She was given more time to decide. Being on a wait list should not be this in my opinion. You should of deposited where you are going to. Get off the wait list of where you wanted to go to and make a decision but you were given more choices. You are like my son was. You will most likely wait till a few minutes before midnight to make your decision.
My suggestion is learn now not to do that. You knew about all these schools prior and researched them. Set a deadline like noon today. Make a decision and move on with your life and be happy about it. There is not best or wrong answer here
He finally learned this is college and typically doesn’t leave decisions to the last minute. Honestly as parents… We have to get used to it more then he does
… Lol…
