How to withdraw after a commitment deposit to one college after being accepted off a waitlist.

So my question is how do I exactly withdraw from Hunter college after paying a commitment deposit? I’m perfectly fine with the commitment deposit being not returned.
For more information I had been accepted to Hunter college and waitlisted to Stony brook before May 1st and had just gotten my acceptance off waitlist from stony yesterday and now my family wants me to withdraw from hunter and go to stony since it is closer and apparently “better” in their views.

What do you want to do?
What do you want to major in?
I assume you would be happy with SUNY SB since you applied there.

I think you just contact admissions and say that you want to withdraw.

Send an EMail to Hunter Admissions stating you are accepting a waitlist admission to another college and ask them to remove your name from their rolls. Keep a copy of the EMail.

So could anyone possibly give me a possible time estimate in how long it takes for a admissions office to reply after a withdrawal letter? I’ve sent mine 4 days ago and Hunter has yet to reply and im pretty sure I sent it to the right email.

They might never reply. You can follow up again, or not, but you have done your part.

Did Hunter use an online admissions portal where you saw your application status, admissions decision, and such? If so, sometimes one can withdraw thru that portal too.

@VerumEx This is a great question – we recently covered this topic in a College Confidential article, which you can find here:https://insights.collegeconfidential.com/withdraw-commitment-after-waitlist

I sent hunter a email through their admissions email aka admissions@hunter.cuny.edu but no reply. I used CUNY to apply to hunter so I don’t think theres a online portal thing to use to withdraw.

DID you check your CUNYFirst account?

Ive checked my cunyfirst account and I still seem to be enrolled in hunter since nothing has change from my previous visit on it.
