Why are kids waiting

[ErickJD08]

So I am wondering, isn't it in the kids best interest to be the first to respond to an offer?  Lets say we have one spot left (somehow).  If we have 6 offers out there, do the kids who is on the top of our priority?  Don't kids want to respond to an offer quickly to get the last spot before someone else does?

At this point it's usually for one of two reasons.  One, they have not met an academic prerequisite that the offer they want is conditioned on, or like Mr. Noreen, they were cast out into the cold late in the recruiting season, and they are going to make damn sure before they make their second commitment.

Plus the universities do not have to accept the recruits acceptance at the moment he accepts the offer.  The school can wait to see what their best option is too.  If we have 6 offers out for one potential spot, you can see that the school can't accept them all if they decide to accept.
