Today is May 1st, which is typically College Decision Day. Unfortunately, this year has been anything but typical. I applaud those colleges who put students first by extending their deposit deadlines. This class has been through enough & should not be rushed through this process.

Update: See the updated list of Illinois colleges and universities that have extended their decision deadlines. You still have time to commit to an Illinois university for Fall 2024! 1/2
