<p>If I'm accepted to my ED school, is it imperative that I withdraw my other applications?
Do the schools share this info?
After all the work and money I have put into my applications, I am very curious to know where I am admited, even if I already get accepted to my ED school.</p>
<p>So, do I really have to withdraw my other applications if I'm accepted ED?</p>
<p>wait to see if you're accepted or not, THEN worry about this question.</p>
<p>what is so difficult about this contract that you can't figure out it's binding and that you must withdraw all other apps since you've committed to attending?</p>
<p>if you didn't intend to honor your contract, then why did you, your gc, and your parent(s) sign?</p>
<p>don't be a jerk musictoad, clearly she's going to honor the main point of the contract (that she attend)...she has just spent near 500 dollars on applications and would like to see where she's accepted.</p>
<p>Newfoundgirlie, colleges may share the information...I was wondering this same thing, but I'm going to wait until December 15th to submit apps because I don't want to waste the money. If you haven't already submitted all your apps, I'd suggest waiting as well.</p>
<p>honestly? i'd cancel them, because you dont want to get down the line and say "i wish i hadnt applied ED at _____ because I could've gone to _____"...500 bucks isn't worth your sanity, trust me</p>
<p>Thanks Jyankees and shoebox10.</p>
<p>I think I'll cancel them if I get accepted, but it's still a bummer. I've already sent my applications to over half of the schools I'm applying to, so I'll wait until after I get the deicision to post the final 2 or 3 if I don't get in ED.</p>
<p>And yeah, I'll prob withdraw them.</p>
<p>newfoundgirlie, please remember that if you were not to withdraw your applications, you will be wasting the time of the admissions committee reviewing your app, and if accepted, will likely be forcing another student, who could have attended that school, onto the waitlist. Depending on how many students the school accepted, that student may not even get in off the waitlist. For that student, that's the real bummer.</p>
<p>IMO, don't withdraw if it isn't absolutely required. What if something were to happen (knock on wood) and your family suddenly can't afford that school?</p>
<p>nyy, that would be quite a dangerous tack. In such a case, it is likely that the school from which one is trying to withdraw will in fact notify others that she has breached her agreement, and she'll end up with no admissions at all. It is much more likely that if her financial situation changes, so will her financial aid package from her ED school.</p>
<p>You're jeopardizing your ED acceptance if you don't withdraw them. It's one of the terms you agreed to when you signed the ED contract. Don't risk it.</p>
<p>I would just like to clarify, if I'm accepted to my ED school I WILL GO. I'm just curious as to where I would accepted, after all the time and money spent on the applications.
I understand I'm supposed to withdraw them, and most likely will.</p>
<p>Withdraw them. Simple enough. </p>
<p>1.) It's part of the contract. If they thought it was okay to not withdraw apps, they wouldn't have made a rule about it.</p>
<p>2.) Like a previous poster stated, if you're accepted to your ED school and don't withdraw apps from other schools, you're wasting the time of that school's admissions committee/counselors and if accepted to those schools will be taking the spot of another student who would then be put on a waitlist. Imagine if you were a student waitlisted and knew that there were students already accepted ED at another school but still "just wanted to see if they'd get in" and took your spot.</p>
<p>And if you're spending almost $500 on apps, why not wait until you hear about your ED admission before submitting (unless applying to schools like the UCs, for example)?</p>
<p>Sorry if it sounds harsh, but the fact that you'd be breaking a contract and potentially taking a spot away from another student should be reason enough to withdraw your apps.</p>
<p>Even though colleges supposedly don't compare applicants to other students from their own high schools but to the applicant pool in general, you keeping your applications in play seems likely to hurt RD applicants from your own school. And not just one other applicant; you could be accepted at several of your RD schools, taking places away from several students who would otherwise have been accepted. I can understand wanting to satisfy your curiousity, but do you really want to watch your classmates receive rejections that might have been acceptances had you honored the terms of your contract and withdrawn your application?</p>
<p>With computers of today, it's NOT hard to cross-check applicant pools. And if you're caught, it won't be good. Why risk it? All you're doing is making a big mess for no reason. It's not like you can go to your other schools. If you're having doubts about ED, withdraw now. Or you shouldn't have applied ED in the first place.</p>
<p>Remember some schools don't even make waitlists. I think last year MIT didn't have one, so...</p>
<p>wow, newfoundgirlie, pretty selfish ego driven reasons to keep you apps in...financial I could understand, but for curiosity's sake...kind of immature</p>
<p>Wow. Some people need to re-read her original post (and her clarification in the middle of this page).</p>
