One school that offered my son didn't give a deadline at first. In fact, that said it's early, take your time, you really don't need to get back to us for several weeks.

Then, a few weeks later, he was told "We have a guy coming in for a visit at your position. If he likes us, we're going to offer him and it's first come, first serve...just so you know."

I get it. The market favors the schools. Windows can close fast no matter what you think or have been told.
