<p>Did you take the trouble to write to other schools declining the offer of admission, or let the no deposit speak for itself?</p>
<p>Let the no deposit speak for itself. Except for the schools that had the reply cards. I sent those. But my mom, who has worked in admissions said I didn’t have to bother, so, I chose not to.</p>
<p>How did others decline their offers?</p>
<p>I sent schools that really reached out to me and seemingly did a lot e-mails thanking them and informing them of my choice and also what I really liked about that school, but schools that didn’t do much I let the no deposit speak for itself.</p>
<p>I only had to decline two schools. One was done with an email, while the other had an online reply system where I just clicked a link and a button and was done with it.</p>
<p>I sent in my reply cards/online and for the University of Alabama I wrote a scathing email because I had a bad experience with them. There wasn’t really any way I was going to go there anyways, but still…</p>
<p>^ and that you were going to attend their rival (insert University of Alabama football rival name) university and pay the $50K/year just because of this “bad experience” 
(as a joke to tease Alabama office of admissions… )</p>

<p>Are you ■■■■■■■■ me? haha. Since when is Dartmouth the University of Alabama’s rival anyways? I am actually not going to pay nearly that much money due to D’s generous FA. It’s lower than state tuition or room and board so it’s a good deal. If I hadn’t gotten into any better schools I would have gone to their rival, Auburn, for free with laptop and a stipend.</p>
