<p>I have applies to 3 colleges. I have been accepted by 2 (haven't heard from the 3rd one yet). </p>
<p>Out of the 2 that accepted me, I already know which one I want to go to. Obviously I will keep up with deadlines for that college like housing, etc.</p>
<p>But what about the other college that accepted me? I don't really want to go there, it was just backup college. What do I do with that college? Do I tell the, I'm not attending the college, or do I just stop all contact with the college or what?</p>
<p>You do not have to notify the college that accepted you (referring to the one that you say you are not interested in attending). Eventually, they will give your spot to someone else after the deadline date for notification passes. Some accepted applicants will send schools they are not accepting offers to an email notifying them of their decision but that is really not necessary. If you decide to let the rejected schools know, do so AFTER you pay your enrollment deposit at the school you have decided on. It will keep your options open in the unlikely event that you change your mind.</p>
