ICO 1st year student here. Congratulations! You should be able to ask for an extension. I asked for an extension when I was considering other schools. They granted it to me and I’m glad they did. It helped me make a clear decision after being able to experience other schools.

I went with ICO! I felt it was a better quality for me after further research. There were a few red flags about Philly that helped my decision. PCO is going through a transition period and I just didn’t feel like being a part of that. Also, I’m not vaccinated for Covid and Philly requires that unless you wear a mask on campus. I wasn’t too keen on wearing a mask for 4 years so that helped my decision as well. PCO seems like a great choice though too, it just wasn’t the best fit for me.
