<p>What is the protocol for declining an admission to BS? Thanks!</p>
<p>I'm guessing you probably call them ASAP and say something like: "Thanks for the offer, but I'm terribly sorry I won't be attending your school." Keep it mature, and you should be fine.</p>
<p>If you want you can let your parents make the call. Short and sweet is best. The BS will send a questionnaire later in the month to determine why you opted out. Do them the favor of answering that questionnaire accurately and truthfully please.</p>
<p>Make sure above all else you don't diss their school or give any reasons for why you won't be attending. You don't want them to regret their decision in the first place and most of all, if you have siblings coming down the pipe you don't want to burn that bridge for them.
Best of luck!</p>
<p>But please do tell them the name of the school which you ARE choosing to attend. It's helpful to know.</p>
<p>Calling is good. Sometimes I believe there is a postcard to send as well. Answer quickly so that those on the waitlist can hear their good news ASAP.</p>
<p>We sent our postcard two weeks ago declining admittance, we are still getting calls from students and coaches:(</p>
<p>My son sent a short email to the admission office thanking them for the offer of admission. He included the characteristics of that school that he liked (sport, class, facility) along with his reason for choosing another school. He also included the name of the school he planned to attend.</p>
<p>He received emails back from each school thanking him for his email and the information he provided.</p>
<p>I think that they give you a postcard and you check off if you’re attending or not and if not which school you plan to attend.</p>
