<p>If you were accepted in the SCEA round, are you planning to withdraw your applications from other colleges?</p>
<p>I withdrew mine from Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Penn, Columbia, Dartmouth, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, Boston College, and Tufts.</p>
<p>Im turning down Rice, MIT, miami of ohio, minnesota, wash u., vanderbilt, and tulane. </p>
<p>Part of me still yearns for Rice…</p>
<p>But anyway!..Do i need to call up the school and withdraw?</p>
<p>@Acrylicsalmon: You can or you can send admissions a quick email. I withdrew all but 3 applications.</p>
<p>My son had held back all applications, save one that had an early date for scholarship consideration, and he has withdrawn that application - sent an email to the admissions office. Princeton '16!</p>
<p>Thanks everyone. If anyone else is withdrawing their applications from HYS, please indicate.</p>
<p>Yes. Why are you asking?</p>
<p>YellowDaisies, to get an idea of how many spots will be open for RD admissions.</p>
<p>macncheese: You are assuming that if we apply to other HYPS schools, we are automatic acceptances.</p>
<p>I understand where he is coming from though. HYPS RD admissions are going to be insane…</p>
<p>For example, Princeton is going to have around a high 5%/low 6% admit rate.</p>
<p>Crazy.</p>
<p>I understand that MacnCheese is stressed out about college acceptances. However, I feel that it is unfair to try to make us feel guilty about not withdrawing all of our other applications. We have worked hard for four years and deserve to know our full range of options for college as well as compare fin aid packages. If an applicant is competitive, he or she will get in to a great college. My applying does not take away from their accomplishments. It is also a huge assumption to think that just because we were accepted early, that we will be an auto admit for other HYS schools. It doesn’t work that way.</p>
<p>hey anyone…can you tell me the name of some safe colleges…i am international student…</p>
<p>mathgirl, who is trying to make you feel guilty for not withdrawing all your applications from other schools? I was merely trying to get a count of people withdrawing from other HYPS schools, if in fact they are doing it. I don’t know why you took it personal.</p>
<p>I read your other posts on HYS where you said that we were taking spots away from RD applicants and asking us to withdraw. You were also telling applicants that the fin aid between these schools is only a matter of a thousand dollars, something you cannot possibly know for sure. I didn’t take it personally, I’m just defending the many people like me who are choosing to explore their options. I don’t think anyone should feel guilty or be pressured into withdrawing their apps.</p>
<p>Withdrew my USC app,since that had a Dec 1st deadline. Didn’t submit Stanford, UPenn, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, etc. Stanford was the only one I would have really considered at all against Princeton, but Princeton’s still my number one so I’m enrolling already :)</p>
<p>Thanks Henry,decilion and all others who posted including mathgirl. There are over 2500 students who got into HYPS on SCEA round. If I get some visibility into how many of them are not in the running for the RD round, that is an important information.
mathgirl, that is called data gathering. Stop getting all worked up about this. You got into your first choice. Now relax and enjoy the rest of the senor year.</p>
<p>I’m not worked up lol. Best of luck in the RD round!</p>
<p>MacnCheese4321: This is not rocket science. Colleges employ statisticians to calculate declination rates. That is how Yale, Harvard, Princeton and all the rest of selective colleges roughly know-- within a few percentage points – how many students they need to accept to achieve a desired class size. When there is a doubt, Admissions Offices are conservative; they accept fewer students and increase the size of their waitlist.</p>
<p>Google “Higher Education Yield Management Solutions” and you fill find a handful of companies that are trying to sell their yield prediction services to colleges.</p>
