Is it too late to go to a school that you've been admitted to?

Question

I've applied to transfer to Ohio University for this Fall 2007 quarter and have been admitted but haven't really done anything since because I thought my mind was made up to go to Ohio State University. But recently I have been thinking things over and have realized that Ohio University is a better suite for me since it's smaller. Does Anyone know if it is too late to go to OU? My gut feeling says no, since I've already been accepted into the school...but I'm not sure.

Answer 1

Look at your acceptance letter. If they didn't say you had to respond by a certain date, and if you didn't specifically tell them that you were going elsewhere (in which case they gave your spot to someone on the waiting list), then you are fine.

Answer 2

Ohio U. has no idea what you were thinking. You did the work to get admitted. Just call them up and say you were wondering, now that the time is getting closer, whether there is anything left to finalize.
See, that way they think your inaction is because you thought you had done all that was needed.

By the way, it is not ...a better suite for me...
The correct term would be ... a better fit for me....

Answer 3

As long as you haven't contacted them saying that you would not be attending, you are fine. If you wanted to be sure, just call admissions and check to see.

One thing you need to be sure of, if your total hours that will transfer from your other college is less than 90, you'll more than likely have to live on campus, so you'll need to check in on that. If you are living off campus, have fun finding a place to live. The housing market is tight here.

Answer 4

if u have submitted a formal acceptance then no. I would check with the school's admissions office on your current situation.

Answer 5

I depends on if you had a deadline for paying a deposit. Check with the admissions counselor for a real answer.
