Contact admissions or is that unnecessary?

Applying to College
1

Recently, I decided not to apply to a college, even though I sent materials (SAT scores, transcript, etc) a few months ago, when I was planning on applying.

I didn’t think that I had to do anything (other than delete the college name from Common App), assuming that they’d just discard my materials when they don’t receive my application, but I found a thread posted here recently where someone was in a similar situation, and it was suggested that they email admissions to let them know. I looked around more but couldn’t find much else about similar situations.

So my main questions are:

  1. Is emailing admissions really that necessary/important or should I just email them to be polite?
  2. If so, does anyone have any suggestion on how to structure the email? (Like what should I should say?)

Thanks :slight_smile:

Email even though it’s not necessary. Keep it short “I’m no longer interested in applying and I just wanted to confirm that my application won’t be processed.”
