If you don't, you may find that the offer is withdrawn and someone currently on a wait list gets your spot. Also, carefully read all of the information sent to you from the college or university. Don't miss an important date or fail to provide supplemental information because you stopped reading at ACCEPTED.</li><li>The clothing room will be open today at 4:30 for sorting clothes.
