<p>Is it possible to retract an application? I applied to a college, but my parents and I decided that it really isn't the right fit for me. We haven't paid the fee yet, just submitted the common application. Is there any way I can "cancel" my application?</p>
<p>Email the admissions office with a short note? As long as you don’t pay the application fee, your application will not be processed/reviewed.</p>
<p>Yay! Thanks so much. I’ll email admissions tomorrow! Thanks xrCalico23.</p>
<p>The technical word for this is ‘withdrawing’ your application.</p>
