Despite all the unexpected changes that the class of 2020 faced, there is one certainty: the CAO Change of Mind deadline is on July 1, and the advice is the same as in any other year. July 1 (5.15pm) is the final deadline for applicants to make any changes to their CAO preference lists. Whatever is listed on the CAO form at the end of the Change of Mind period, will be an applicant’s final choice and the CAO will make offers based on this choice in August. However, all changes should be well considered and many colleges will hold virtual open days/online Q&A sessions in the coming days to assist applicants in their decision-making (see below). Finally, applicants should ensure that they use up as many places on their CAO preference lists as possible.
