<p>My son got his acceptance packet Monday but has decided that Tech is not the right fit for him. His letter to Admissions withdrawing his application is going out today. If anyone else reading here has decided not to enroll, go ahead and send a letter withdrawing your application so someone else might get your spot. Actually, you should promptly send one to all colleges you're not going to accept the offer of admission. Best of luck to those still waiting!</p>
<p>Wow! I would really like to say thank you for your post. That is very considerate of you and your son to think about other student who really want to attend Tech but was placed on the waiting list. I wish your son the best. Again, Thanks</p>
<p>This year, more than any other, is important for this. Money is going to determine where many people go to school, and someone sitting on several financial aid offers/scholarships is going to bog down the process for a high number of people. Of course take your time to make a good decision, but after that, get on it! Email replies will be much appreciated over letters just for timeliness sake. Send the letter later if you want, but get the emails out ASAP!</p>
<p>Agreed. </p>
<p>The two schools that I knew I would not attend were sent an e-mail as soon as I knew for sure they were out of contention, precisely because I knew there were other anxious students who might get off a waitlist.</p>
<p>I think i ought to do this too. i've just been so scared i might not get into where i wanted. but thanks for reminding me.</p>
<p>I have a bunch of friends in need of spots (one of whom has a 790M on SATI), I appreciate this. (i got denied :()</p>
<p>To waitlisted hopefuls, I will most likely be notifying Tech of my decision not to attend. I love the school, but other situations knocked it out of the picture in the end. Good luck to you all.</p>
<p>you know what my dad is telling me?? that i should just wait and not tell colleges anything until they cancel my admissions. I think that’s stupid and rude and I hate to waste so many people’s time. and he won’t listen to me when i try to tell him he’s wasting their time and student’s money b/c they will send a deposit to another school then loose that money if they change their mind. I feel soooo guilty.</p>
<p>poor thinking on your dad’s part. not considerate at all.</p>
<p>I mailed Tech my decision to not attend. Hopefully this will move up a person from the waitlist and hopefully someone from UChicago wil do the same thing for me…</p>
<p>We emailed pretty quickly and told them D would not be attending. We also filled out the survey explaining our decision. Good luck to those of you waiting … :)</p>
<p>zebes</p>
<p>sending the email now. Good luck to the waitlisted.</p>
<p>I’m glad I held off on sending an e-mail. I figured Tech was out of reach when DD didn’t get PS (out of state). But she got unexpected scholarships in her aid package today. Tech is back in the running.</p>
<p>Congrats! Best to your DD.</p>
<p>is there a page to notify them?</p>
