<p>I got in ED but now I need to withdraw my apps to some schools. Is there a procedure for this?</p>
<p>Congratulations! It probably depends on the school, I'd either email or call them.</p>
<p>Ask your guidance counselor. He/she could probably help you.</p>
<p>Usually emailing the school's admissions office will work. Keep in mind that you might still receive decision letters from state/large publics even after withdrawing since they have too many apps to handle.</p>

<p>I love when people give this sort of "advice." The OP got in to Columbia, so he's probably not so dumb that it didn't occur to him that he could consider asking his counselor. For whatever reason (counselor is useless? counselor is inaccessible? too embarrassed to ask? wanted an immediate answer?), he obviously felt like asking people on here for an answer rather than asking his Counselor</p>

<p>Send the admissions office a quick email telling them you're withdrawing your application. Also, my college counselor told me that schools like to know who their main competitors are, so if you want to you might mention you got into Columbia ED.</p>
<p>i probably will refrain from doing that. i have another family member that will attend college soon and i don't want to alienate them from my last name.</p>

<p>Why should you give them free marketing data? They should give you something of value. Any time some company says that I qualified for some anonymous survey to rate my experiences with their call center or their stupid product, I decline unless there's a carrot.</p>
<p>i'm telling you...everything C02 says just resonates with me. amazing.</p>
