<p>Congratulations to everyone who was accepted!! I’m so excited, but now I have to choose between UConn, BU and UMass Amherst, which will arguably be one of the harder decisions that I will ever have to make. Good luck to everyone waiting for acceptances and trying to make a decision!</p>
<p>My understanding of the wait list is that people won’t hear till after May 1st. Colleges take people from the wait list after they see who and how many accept their offer of admission. I could be wrong but that’s my understanding of the wait list process.</p>
<p>I thought so too but UCONN also said all regular admissions decisions were made on March 1. I was just curious if these were late decisions or waitlist coming early. I heard on the news that colleges might use more of their waitlists this year due to the sequester and many kids going to community colleges first to save money.</p>
<p>No, I wasn’t on the wait list and I got my decision last friday. Uconn didn’t finish regular decisions by March 1st. The final deadline is April 1st and I believe people are still waiting for a decision.</p>
<p>Congratulations to all you new Huskies! And especially to you and your son ConfusedMominMA.</p>
<p>Now for a strange question for this forum…has anyone figured out how to decline the admission to UCONN? We want to do the polite thing and decline the admission offer but UConn does not seem to have a readily apparent process for doing this. I guess the simplest thing is to just let the offer expire after 1 May. Or maybe just an email to the admissions office? Strange that every other University that we declined had a simple process (e.g., letter, link, form) but not UConn. Maybe we are just missing the obvious. There is a withdraw application button…maybe that?</p>
