<p>So I need to tell some colleges that I wont be attending so that it can open a spot for someone else. I wanna write them a letter...What should I say in it besides the fact that I wont be attending and thankng them for the interest?</p>
<p>why don't you just send them the reply form with the "I will not be attending" box checked off</p>
<p>If you do want to write a letter rather than using the form or postcard, all you need to say is "Thank you for your offer of admissions. Unfortunately, I will not be attending." If you know where you are going to go, you can tell them.</p>
<p>Yea thats what I will do but I heared its common to send a letter along with it :/</p>
<p>Make sure to thank them for considering you, as well.</p>
<p>Keep it short. I am withdrawing my app.....I am going to attend.....(if you know)....Thank you for ...... I did this when I got in Ed. I got some form letters in return and a couple of nice "good luck at...." Colgate in particular sent a hand written note, (and obviously I hadn't even been accepted there, as I had applied Ed somewhere else.) This is one of the reasons that Colgate would have been my second choice. They were really great.....</p>
<p>If I don't send in required documents by May 1st, do I automatically get taken off from the enrolling list? Or is there a better and more appropriate way to do that?</p>
<p>Yes and yes. They'll assume you're not coming if you don't send anything in, but it's polite to give them notice that you won't be attending.</p>
<p>Check the materials the schools sent you when they accepted you. Usually, they'll include a card that allows you to check off if you accept their offer of admission and, if not, where you will be attending. Send that off in the envelope they provided...or your own, if you're like me and somehow lost said envelope.</p>
<p>If there is no such card, write a quick note thanking them for their offer of admission and tell them where you'll be going, and send that off to the admissions department. It doesn't have to be anything super-formal.</p>
<p>So if I don't reply to them, I won't get any more persuading emails from them? (At which point I will be very relieved...)</p>
<p>If you reply to them, you'll increase the chances of their stopping emails. Why don't you just return the reply card?</p>
<p>many colleges make it hard for admitted students to find info about declining admission since they'd like them to enroll. But yea, I'm going to notify declining admission through e-mails.</p>
<p>Send them the card or the use the online option if there is one. If people at the school have been particularly helpful, you should let them know at least with an email.</p>

<p>Admissions officer: If we don't send a rejection letter to an applicant by April 1, won't the student assume that he/she wasn't accepted and stop calling us?</p>
<p>If the admissions officer's question doesn't make sense, neither does yours. E-mail or drop them a note.</p>
<p>You may also make the day of a kid on the wait list.</p>
<p>Send an email. Tell them they were special etc...hold special place in your heart...will always think highly of the college for...
Then leave phone for verification or a special student code number for id purposes etc. </p>
<p>They will send a confirm letter that your file is noted with your decision.</p>
<p>They might not send the confirmation. But don't let that stop you.</p>
<p>Remember, one should never burn one's bridges. One may want to transfer to a school one has turned down, or to go to graduate school there. Sending the note declining admission is not only the right, but the smart thing to do.</p>
<p>I think it is best for both the colleges and the students to send the reply card/an email.</p>
<p>I would want my chosen college to notify me if they have not received anything (eg. if my deposit somehow got lost in the mail), instead of assuming that I do not want to attend.</p>
<p>this will take a lot of time. do i hve to tell each uni one by one that i don't want to enroll/</p>
<p>I'd personally write a long letter of telling them "why" but it's up to you...</p>
<p>can't you just send a reply card to each school saying no?</p>
<p>Every school I've seen includes a reply card with the acceptance. Check "not attending" on the card, throw on a stamp and mail. Repeat. </p>
<p>What's the big deal?</p>
