<p>I forgot to decline admission to all the colleges that accepted me and now I keep getting emails saying I need to pay some things or telling me other things regarding there college. Does anyone know how to decline or cancel admissions? I can't find the decline link anywhere on there sites. Any help?</p>
<p>By the way these are the colleges

<p>You don’t need to decline. Generally, though, if you still had the link to your application site, you could look for “accept” or “decline” menus. But it’s so late in the day at this point, you should just ignore. You’d probably get that info anyway for a while.</p>
<p>Not only should you decline your offer of admission for the convenience of halting unwanted emails, phone calls, and letters, you should do it b/c it’s the respectful thing to do.</p>
<p>When you applied to these schools, you undoubtedly had an expectation that they would review your application and communicate your admissions status to you in a timely manner. Why would you, at minimum, not drop the admissions offices an email to say, “thank you, but I have chosen to attend another institution”? It’s a courtsey, that frankly, no one should have to prompt you to do.</p>
<p>Hmmm, you are on the one hand dictating how to be courteous, yet your response to me was less than that. Much less.</p>
<p>I don’t know that “respectful” is the right word as much as “polite”, but at this point in time, as I qualified my response, it is probably impossible to do so, since it’s likely that the menu to accept or deline is no longer active.</p>
<p>Further, the colleges referred to by the OP are simple application based that is based solely on stats – no essay involved. So there wasn’t an admissions officer sitting down and reviewing why the student wants to attend that particular college.</p>
<p>Again, it is not a requirement – whether emails from all students declining admission to a college getting 20,000 applications would be appreciated or a headache, I can’t answer that.</p>
