<p>What do I do for those I will not be attending? Send a letter or just do nothing?</p>
<p>Usually you have to make a decision online, so if you go to the link you can just click on the "I will not be attending."</p>
<p>If not, I guess you can send a letter or call them. </p>
<p>I don't think you're expected to though, you can just not do anything.</p>
<p>especially how do you reject the UCs? they didn't sent a reply form with my envelope. </p>
<p>i thought about modding their rejection letter into my rejection letter for them, but then i feel the senioritis sinking in</p>
<p>I thought it was important to let the schools that I turned down know as early as possible so that they could figure out if they could take waitlisted people.</p>
<p>Some schools sent a postcard in the admissions packet with Y/N check-off boxes so that was easy.</p>
<p>Otherwise, I e-mailed the Admissions office with a brief note like:</p>
<p>"I have decided not to enroll in (Name of school) for the fall 2007 semester. Thank you for considering my application"
My Name
D.O.B. or Student ID# </p>
<p>It will reflect well on my High School and, it's just the right thing to do.</p>
<p>The thing is, they also ask you what college you're turning them down for, and I don't know yet, so I'll probably send the reply cards in late, unfortunately.</p>
<p>Our D just left the "school you will attend" section blank when declining 2 schools. She has not made her final decision but knows that those 2 will not be it.</p>
<p>Ditto what the last few posters wrote. Keep in mind, that one of your classmates may be hanging on to our Wait List, and the sooner you (and other accepted students) inform us that you're <em>not</em> coming, the sooner we have a grasp on how the incoming class is taking shape, and can then inform our Wait List of our plans. It is helpful to know to which school a student is matriculating (institutional research goals + curiosity), but it's OK if that line is left blank--the important piece is the "are you coming?" part, not the "where are you going" one.</p>
<p>Besides, it's a good life lesson: if offered a job by a company/organization, would you "just do nothing"? Hopefully you'd offer a (more) polite, "Thanks but no thanks", which is all you need to do for those colleges whose acceptances you plan to decline. Card, email, or phone call will suffice, whichever way you wish to communicate your answer. But please, tell us your plans, even if it's to say "sorry, I'm not coming" (or, in the case of an email I read yesterday, "Too cold."... a bit blunt, but at least we all can move on). :)</p>
