<p>Hi guys, I've decided today where I want to go to college and unfortunately, it won't be Cornell University. It's nothing personal though, I didn't receive enough financial aid to attend, that's why. I was wondering how I can decline Cornell's offer of admission without having to send the response form that came with the admission packet by mail.</p>
<p>Good luck to those on the waitlist!</p>
<p>I don’t think there is any way you can do it online, but I could be wrong. Good luck with whichever road that you take! :)</p>
<p>I don’t think you can. In your acceptance letter there’s a card that you can fill out indicating that you won’t attend. If you can’t find it, then just don’t do anything. They assume you will not attend</p>
<p>Probably a stupid question, but in general, should we decline the schools we aren’t going to attend, or simply leave it alone?</p>
<p>^As a general rule in life, if you can make someone’s life a little better without harming yourself, then do it. Most schools probably give you a postage-prepaid envelope, so why not take 2 seconds to fill it and send it? It’ll help them keep track of who’s coming to their school.
On the other hand, if they don’t give a prepaid envelope, then don’t do it.</p>
<p>Just my opinion on it.</p>
<p>Go to your application tracking account, and click on “withdraw application.”</p>
<p>but that’s withdrawing the application, not declining the offer… :S can you withdraw after you get an offer?</p>
<p>You know the fancy packet? On the last page, there’s a little card with prepaid envelope. You check the box that says “decline”, write your name, and send it.</p>
<p>I emailed Cornell asking them how to do it online, and they told me to just withdraw my application, like Jalmoreno said.</p>
<p>I just filled out the little card.</p>
<p>Yeah, I withdrew my application as well! Thank you all for your responses!</p>
