<p>Hi! I was accepted Duke ED, but I'm unsure of how to revoke my other applications. What do you guys say? </p>
<p>Also, Congrats to all others who were accepted! Can't wait to meet all of you guys!</p>
<p>You need to call/email their admission’s office, I had to do it last year with UM after I got accepted ED to Duke (make sure they do withdraw you application, because when I did it they assured me my application was withdrawn but I still got an acceptance letter and a scholarship weeks later and that kinda of freaked me out)</p>
<p>Email the admissions office and just let them know. It really doesn’t matter what you say. Congratulations, and welcome to the Blue Devil family!</p>
<p>Congratulations and welcome; I would send a very positive and polite letter to each admissions office, advising them of your ED status at Duke and requesting that your application be withdrawn. Obviously, this can be done by telephone or e-mail, but civility is important.</p>
<p>^^Chill bro. </p>
<p>You just have to say that you were accepted ED to another university and would like to withdraw your application. </p>
<p>It is pretty simple.</p>
<p>patriotsfan1: I agree, but your approach misses my true point.</p>
<p>I believe it is preferable to leave an impression of civility and respect for the other institution, rather than simply saying: I was accepted ED by Duke, and I no longer wish to be considered by university “x.” Obviously, both methods will work equally well, but one is polite and just might leave the receiving college with the feeling that Duke selects unusually bright AND courteous individuals (wouldn’t that be nice). Conversely, your approach forgoes that opportunity.</p>
<p>In addition, it is possible that extra civility and respect might enhance the relationship between your secondary school and the college, as opposed potentially to undermining it.</p>
<p>Thanking the other school for its consideration and wishing them the best in their admissions cycle only takes one extra sentence. And if you interacted with an adcom from another school, making note of that and saying thanks might be appreciated.</p>
<p>When do I have to withdraw all of my other applications? Do I have to do so immediately?</p>
<p>The Common App ED agreement says you should withdraw “promptly” if you did not apply for FA. If you applied for FA, the agreement says you don’t have to withdraw before receiving your FA offer.</p>
<p>Ah the tough paperwork that comes after an acceptance =)</p>
<p>Congrats and welcome!</p>
<p>Josmee443, congrats on your acceptance! </p>
<p>And TopTier and SomeOldGuy, I just wanted to commend you both for urging all ED people be polite, respectful and leave a good impression as they withdraw from other colleges. It’s the right thing to do!</p>
<p>Thank you! I’ll be sure to be very polite when I withdraw my offers! I’m already excited for move in day… :D</p>
<p>josmee - some of us are now 50 years removed from our “move in day,” and we KNOW our undergraduate experiences – in and our of the classroom – forever changed and enhanced our lives. I wish the same blessing for you, as well as the same wonderful and enduring relationship with all things Duke.</p>
<p>So, I applied Early Decision to Duke in October, but do not recall ever being required to make an ACES account. How did everyone find out their admission’s decisions? Help right now would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)</p>
<p>Check your email and spam mail. You should have gotten an email with instructions. If not, call the admissions office today (Monday).</p>
