<p>Hello! I've recently confirmed my enrollment in a university and have sent emails to all the other universities I've applied to in order to free up the slot for someone else. However, it's been a few weeks and the college have not responded to my email.I'm concerned that they still believe that I'm interested, as they've kept sending me emails about admission.
How do I ensure that they know I'm not coming? Should I call them or is it repetitive after sending an email? Will my current university have any problems with these college sending me mail? I've only sent the deposit for one and it wasn't ED. </p>
<p>Your emails declining the offers should suffice, colleges are not necessarily going to respond and sometimes it takes awhile for the information to catch up with automated messages sent to accepted students. No need for further contact, while colleges appreciate you giving them notice, after the response date they will take a final count of the number of filled spots. The university you will be attending will neither know about or care that other colleges are still sending you mail.</p>
<p>Just sending in your deposit to one school was actually all that was required. Notifying the others was a nice courtesy but I wouldn’t expect to hear anything back and I’m sure the emails will stop once they actually remove you from their list…this actually may go all the way to the May 1 decision date, as you could conceivably change your mind. It is a misconception that declining your offer will free up a slot for someone else. They have made enough admissions offers to fill their incoming class based on historical yield…if they miscalculated, they will either have a very large freshman class or go to their waitlist. You declining does not cause them to extend another admission offer- you are one of a large percentage of expected “declines”. </p>
<p>It would take 10 seconds to send another email. It can’t hurt. Or just call. </p>
