<p>hi, i got admitted ED to johns hopkins.
i am binded to go
but im also kind of curious what my results "would have" been with other schools.</p>
<p>although i do not intend accepting other offers (other than jhu), do i HAVE to withdraw my application? does the college know?
even if i dont accept the offers, if i dont withdraw, does it jeopardize my chances?</p>
<p>The agreement you signed (parents and school counselor) requires that you withdraw other applications. Yes, you do HAVE to withdraw. </p>
<p>Also, think of it as making room for your friends and other applicants that haven't been admitted to college. You don't want to take their spot, do you? If you don't withdraw, it does jeopardize your chances of keeping your spot @ JHU. </p>
<p>There have been countless stories (search for 'em) of people who didn't withdraw and it really came back to haunt them. Also, high school counselors are constantly on the phone with colleges and you wouldn't want another college to call your counselor and have her find out you were in the RD pool somewhere ... because that means she broke her ED agreement b/c she signed it too.</p>
<p>My suggestion is be SUPER HAPPY you got into JHU BME (amazing program, #1 on the planet) and withdraw your RD apps - save yourself woes. That said, it doesn't get any better than JHU BME! :) Congratulations!</p>
<p>If you don't withdraw, it raises your chance that Johns Hopkins will rescind your ED as colleges share their ED admit list with other colleges that they know their applicants are likely to apply to. Due to marketing, colleges have an excellent idea of what other colleges their applicants are likely to also apply to. </p>
<p>Your not withdrawing your application also can cause your GC and other students from your school to be punished by colleges --including Hopkins that may not accept other students from your school since a student had demonstrated a lack of ethics by not adhering to the commitment that you had agreed to when applying.</p>
