<p>how do you decline admission? i’ve looked all over the admission packet and all over the website but i cant seem to find how to do it…</p>
<p>thank you!</p>
<p>D has the same problem.</p>
<p>Tried to edit the above, but won't let me - D will email her admissions representative (to into your prospective student portal acct. - there is a listing of all the admin reps by region.)</p>
<p>thats a good idea...actually, i just found i card, too, tucked away in my acceptance folder that gives the option to decline...i would have never found it if i didn't dump the entire folder on the floor!</p>
<p>good luck to your daughter wherever she chooses!</p>
<p>I couldn't find the card. What does it look like?</p>
<p>Don't sweat about declining. I really think the school doesn't expect to hear from you if you're a no. The percentage accepted to american is what...18%, Another words most students who are accepted do not attend.</p>
<p>^ your logic doesn’t make much sense there…</p>
<p>The card for declining admission was, indeed, included in the folder with my daughter’s admission letter. It’s a white, postcard-sized card with black lettering. Postage paid–might as well slip it in the mail if you’re not attending. They want to know where you decided to go instead.</p>
<p>Camyii and Longgraduated, I see you’re both new users. Please notice that (until today) this conversation was four years old; the last post before today was 04/26/2008. </p>
<p>For the benefit of any readers who come along after, however, I’ll say that giving colleges a yes-or-no answer to their offers of admission is much more than a “might as well” matter. For one thing, it’s bad manners not to respond to the offer. For another, colleges need to know whether you’re enrolling so that they know whether to go to their wait lists, and how many to take. You can email; you can send a letter; you can send back the reply card that came in your admissions packet; sometimes you can accept or decline an offer of admission from your prospective-student portal. But no matter how you do it, reply!</p>
American is still using postcards to decline admission - found it today in the packet after hunting online for a decline option!
