I agree with taking time on commitments. As we saw with McCabe Millon, they really don't mean anything. You can change your mind a year later and still only be a senior. I guess it makes sense to committ and then you have a free option to change your mind for the next year or so. It seems like kids change their minds more than schools do, but I guess some of the top academic schools have strings attached like test score and grades. At the end of the day what is a commitment? A verbal agreement with a minor?
